MET 2027 Exam Dates - Phase 1 and Phase 2 Schedule

MET 2027 Exam Dates Overview

The Manipal Entrance Test (MET) 2027 is conducted by the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) for admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across its campuses in Manipal, Jaipur, Mangalore, and other MAHE constituent institutions. MET 2027 will be held in two phases — Phase 1 in April 2027 and Phase 2 in May 2027 — as a Computer-Based Test (CBT). Candidates may appear in one or both phases, and the best score is considered for merit list preparation.

MAHE activated the MET 2027 registration portal at manipal.edu in October 2026. Detailed phase-wise schedules including slot booking, admit card, and result dates will be published on the official website. Candidates are advised to bookmark the official schedule page and check it regularly for updates.

MET 2027 Important Dates — Phase 1 and Phase 2

The table below lists the expected MET 2027 event calendar for both phases. Dates marked as Tentative are based on MAHE’s established pattern from previous years and will be updated once officially confirmed at manipal.edu.

Note: All dates above are tentative and subject to official confirmation by MAHE. Candidates must refer to the official MET schedule published at manipal.edu/metschedule for authoritative dates.

MET 2027 Phase 1 Schedule

Phase 1 of MET 2027 is the first examination window, typically scheduled in the third week of April. Based on the MET 2026 cycle — where Phase 1 was held on April 13–14, 2026 — Phase 1 of MET 2027 is expected to follow a similar timeline:

• Application Deadline (Phase 1): The last date to submit the MET 2027 application form with fee for Phase 1 is expected around March 15, 2027. Multiple sources cite this date, though MAHE has historically extended the deadline in response to applicant demand (the 2026 deadline was extended to March 23, 2026).
• Slot Booking (Phase 1): MAHE opens a slot booking window approximately 10–14 days before the Phase 1 exam. Candidates select their preferred exam centre, date, and session during this window. For MET 2027 Phase 1, slot booking is expected in the last week of March 2027.
• Admit Card (Phase 1): Hall tickets for Phase 1 are released shortly after slot booking closes — typically 3 to 4 days before the exam. Candidates can download their MET 2027 Phase 1 admit card from the official login portal at manipal.edu.
• Exam Date (Phase 1): Phase 1 of MET 2027 is expected in the third week of April 2027. The test is conducted as an online CBT, and candidates must report to their allotted centre with a printed admit card and a valid photo ID.
• Answer Key & Result (Phase 1): MAHE typically releases the provisional answer key within 2–3 days of the exam, followed by the scorecard within a week. In 2026, the Phase 1 scorecard was published on April 16 — just two days after the exam.

MET 2027 Phase 2 Schedule

Phase 2 of MET 2027 provides candidates who appeared in Phase 1 — or those who missed Phase 1 — a second opportunity to sit the entrance test. Phase 2 is expected in the last week of May 2027, mirroring the MET 2026 Phase 2 dates of May 23–24, 2026. Key milestones for Phase 2 include:

• Application Deadline (Phase 2): Candidates who wish to appear in Phase 2 only, or in both phases, must ensure their MET 2027 application is submitted before the Phase 2 registration closes — expected in April or early May 2027.
• Slot Booking (Phase 2): Phase 2 slot booking is expected in the second week of May 2027, approximately 10–14 days before the exam window.
• Admit Card (Phase 2): The Phase 2 hall ticket is made available for download a few days before the exam, typically around the third week of May 2027.
• Exam Date (Phase 2): MET 2027 Phase 2 is expected in the last week of May 2027. The format, duration, and pattern remain the same as Phase 1.
• Answer Key & Result (Phase 2): The Phase 2 answer key and scorecard are expected within a week of the exam. Candidates who appeared in both phases will have their best score considered for the merit list.

MET 2027 Application Form — How and When to Apply

MAHE opened the MET 2027 registration portal in October 2026. The application form for MET 2027 must be submitted online through manipal.edu (or the direct application portal at apply.manipal.edu). The step-by-step application process is as follows:

1. Register on the official MET portal using a valid email ID and mobile number.
2. Fill in personal, academic, and programme preference details in the online form.
3. Upload scanned copies of photograph, signature, and supporting documents as per specified dimensions.
4. Pay the application fee (Rs. 800 in 2026; 2027 fee to be confirmed) and the exam fee (Rs. 1,200 in 2026; 2027 fee to be confirmed) via net banking, debit card, or credit card.
5. Submit the form and download/print the confirmation for reference.

Candidates appearing in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 need to apply only once; a separate Phase 2 option can be selected within the same application.

MET 2027 Admit Card

The MET 2027 admit card (hall ticket) is released phase-wise on the official login dashboard at manipal.edu. Candidates must download and print the admit card before reporting to the exam centre, as entry is not permitted without it. The admit card for Phase 1 is expected in the first week of April 2027, and for Phase 2 in the third week of May 2027. The admit card will carry:

• Candidate name, registration number, and photograph
• Allotted exam centre name and address
• Exam date, session, and reporting time
• Important instructions for the exam day

Candidates must carry a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, or Driving Licence) along with the printed admit card to the examination centre.

MET 2027 Result and Scorecard

MAHE releases the MET 2027 scorecard separately for each phase, typically within a week of the respective exam. The scorecard is available for download through the candidate’s login on the official portal. It carries the candidate’s section-wise and overall raw scores. Candidates who appear in both phases receive two scorecards; the merit list is prepared using the best of the two scores.

MET 2027 Counselling

Following the declaration of MET 2027 results, MAHE releases a separate MET counselling schedule. Counselling for MET 2027 is expected to commence in the second week of June 2027. The process includes:

• Counselling Registration: Eligible candidates register for counselling and indicate programme and campus preferences.
• Choice Filling: Candidates fill and lock their course and campus choices in order of preference.
• Seat Allotment: MAHE releases allotment results round-wise. Multiple rounds are typically conducted to fill remaining seats.
• Document Verification and Reporting: Allotted candidates must complete document verification at the allotted campus and pay the seat acceptance fee to confirm admission.
