MET 2026 Round 3 Fee Payment

MAHE collects programme fees in two instalments after seat allotment:

Payments must be made online through the counselling portal at counseling.manipal.edu. Accepted modes include debit card, credit card, net banking, NEFT, and RTGS. Offline payments are not accepted at this stage. The INR 10,000 waitlist deposit paid at the time of counselling registration is not an additional charge — it is automatically adjusted as a refundable caution deposit after you complete the first instalment payment.

Non-payment of the first instalment by July 4, 2026 results in automatic seat cancellation with no reinstatement.
