You need 55% in Physics, Chemistry and Maths taken together in Class 12. English is also a must. MAHE lists no lower mark for any category. If you studied A level or IB, you need the grade or points in the table.

|---|---|
| 1. Apply online | Fill the MAHE form and pay the application fee |
| 2. Upload marks | Add your Class 12 marks card after the result |
| 3. Merit list | MAHE ranks you on PCM marks and sends offers |
