The third phase of BTech counselling at Manipal Engineering and Technology (MET) for the 2026 admissions cycle has officially opened, offering fresh seats to candidates nationwide. Applicants can register online until 30 November 2025, and subsequent counseling sessions are slated for early 2026.
MET, known for its rigorous engineering curriculum, typically releases the preliminary and final cutoffs after each counselling round. In Phase 3, eligibility remains aligned with the Academic Year (AY) 2025/26 marks, and the admission process includes merit-based allotments, category reservations, and a brief interview for a few seats. Candidates from Udupi district have noted an especially high demand for the Civil and Computer Science programmes, prompting the Centre to announce additional seats at this stage.
The initiation of this phase is poised to impact the local student community in Udupi by expanding access to higher education and staving off the de‑recruitment worry faced by many aspirants.
