Class 12 marks: 50% in Physics, Maths and the optional subject taken together, with a pass in each.
Exam needed: A MET rank, or a JEE Main rank for the JEE Main route.
Same rule, every branch: All 12 branches use the same marks rule; only the fee changes by branch group.
Other boards: IB and foreign board students need the same subjects and an AIU equivalence paper.
B.Tech Admission Process▾

MET · rank 10,001 to 29,232
Almost there: every branch. Fewer branches stay open as the rank rises. Put the lowest fee group high on your list.
MET · rank beyond 29,232
Not this year: every branch. No branch closed beyond 29,232 in MET 2025. Try the JEE Main route or the next MET.
JEE Main · rank up to 32,577
Yes, you are in: every branch. The JEE Main route round 1 closes in 2026 ran from 32,577 to 1,02,650, so every branch was open here.
JEE Main · rank 32,578 to 60,000
Almost there: every branch. Some branches closed inside this range in 2026. The route has one round only, so also write MET.
JEE Main · rank 60,001 to 1,02,650
Almost there: every branch. Some branches closed inside this range in 2026. The route has one round only, so also write MET.
JEE Main · rank beyond 1,02,650
Not this route: every branch. Not through this route. Write MET and use its four rounds.
EDITOR'S NOTE
MAHE does not publish closing ranks by branch. The ranges above use the toughest and easiest closes of the last cycle, so ask the counselling desk which branch closed where before you fill your order.

In short
VIT has more seats, a higher NIRF rank and a slightly higher median pay, with a similar placement rate. If both give you the branch you want, compare the fee for that branch before you decide.
In short
Amrita places a larger share of its batch but its median pay is lower. If pay matters more to you than the placement rate, MAHE is the stronger pick.
In short
Thapar has a higher median pay, a better placement rate and a higher NIRF rank. If your rank clears both, put Thapar above MAHE in your list.
In short
KIIT has more seats but a lower median pay and a much lower placement rate. If MAHE gives you any branch you like, take it over KIIT.
FAQs on Manipal Academy of Higher Education B.Tech
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech at MAHE worth the fee?▾
It can be, if you plan for the cost. The full fee is INR 17.92 Lakhs to INR 24.32 Lakhs without hostel, and the Class of 2024 had a median pay of INR 8.5 LPA with 65% of graduates placed. At that pay, the top fee takes about three years of work to earn back. Check the EMI line in the fee block above before you take a loan.
Which branch should I pick if MET gives me more than one?▾
Pick the branch you want to study for four years, then look at the fee. The Computer and ECE group costs INR 24.32 Lakhs, while the lowest fee group costs INR 17.92 Lakhs. MAHE does not publish pay by branch, so pay cannot decide it for you. Read who each branch suits in the branch block above.
Should I pay more for Computer Science or take a core branch?▾
Take Computer Science if you want software work and can pay INR 24.32 Lakhs. A core branch costs INR 17.92 Lakhs and has the same placement cell. Branch change is not certain, so do not join a core branch only to move later. Decide by the subject you like.
Will I get a job after B.Tech here?▾
Most students do, but not all. MAHE placed 1,140 of its 1,755 graduates in the Class of 2024, which is 65%, at a median pay of INR 8.5 LPA. Another 288 went for higher studies. Use the placement cell from your first year and build your skills early.
Who should skip B.Tech at MAHE?▾
Skip it if the fee is a stretch and you get no scholarship. The full fee is INR 17.92 Lakhs to INR 24.32 Lakhs without hostel, and hostel with mess adds INR 1.23 Lakhs a year. Also skip it if you want branch-wise pay figures before you decide, because MAHE does not publish them.
Should I use MET or JEE Main to get in?▾
Use both if you can. The JEE Main route fills 20%% of General seats in every branch, but it has only one round. MET fills the rest in four rounds, so it gives you more chances. Put your rank in the checker above to see what each route opens.
Is Electronics Engineering a good choice if I miss ECE?▾
Yes, if you want electronics at a lower fee. It costs INR 17.92 Lakhs against INR 24.32 Lakhs for ECE. It also offers VLSI, Biomedical, Instrumentation and Cyber Physical Systems as specialisations. It does not have the 2+2 dual degree, so check that first.
Is the 2+2 dual degree abroad worth it?▾
It is worth it only if you can pay the fee abroad. Eight branches let you study two years here and two years in Australia. You pay the MAHE fee for the first two years and the partner university's fee after that. Ask for the partner fee before you choose it.
Should I wait a year if my MET rank is weak?▾
Not always. MET 2025 closes ran from 3,479 to 29,232 across branches, so many ranks still get a branch. Waiting a year gives no promise of a better rank. Try the JEE Main route and all four MET rounds first, and decide after round 4.
How do I get admission to B.Tech here?▾
Write MET in April or May, or apply on the JEE Main route. Then fill your branch order in counselling. Your rank decides the branch you get. Pay the first-year fee by the deadline and report with your original papers.
Is the fee the same for every branch?▾
No. The full fee without hostel is INR 24.32 Lakhs for the Computer and ECE group, INR 19.56 Lakhs for Aero and Mechatronics and INR 17.92 Lakhs for the other six branches. Tap your branch group in the fee block above to see the full cost.
Which scholarships can I get?▾
It depends on your MET rank and family income. MET ranks 1 to 100 get the Freeship, and ranks 101 to 5,000 get 20%% off the course fee. Family income below INR 8 Lakhs can get the AICTE fee waiver. Use the scholarship calculator above to see yours.
Can I get my fee back if I leave the seat?▾
Part of it, based on when you leave. MAHE keeps a part of the fee under its refund rules, and the hostel fee has its own rules. Read the refund table in the admission notice before you pay the first-year fee.
