It is not a mistake that CSE, ECE, and EEE branches are not showing in mock counselling of TG EAPCET 2025 under self finance category in JNTU Hyderabad, because mock counselling is only for practice and not full list is given, colleges sometimes show only few branches to help students understand the process, so you do not need to worry, in the real counselling round, full options like CSE, ECE, and EEE will come according to your rank and college seat availability, mock counselling is just to try and learn how to select options and understand allotment steps, it does not mean that branches are removed, when first round starts officially, all proper courses will be shown, so you must wait and check again during actual counselling and then fill the choices carefully, do not panic by seeing only MMS and MET in mock list, the full branches will come at the correct time, just follow the schedule and updates from official website and be ready with your list of choices.

Your 86% CBSE has minimal impact on MET rank.

With an MET score of 129/240 and a Karnataka PU board PCME score of 339/400, your expected MET rank is likely in the range of 2001 – 4500. This is based on the information provided in the search results, which suggests that a score of 130-149 in MET translates to this rank range.

MET Score:

Your MET score of 129 falls within the 130-149 range, which corresponds to a rank range of 2001-4500.

Karnataka PU Board Score:

While your board score is good (339/400), it doesn't directly influence the MET rank, but it can be considered for composite ranking in certain cases,

Factors Affecting Rank:

The actual rank can vary depending on the number of candidates participating in the exam.

Exam Difficulty:

A more difficult exam may result in a lower overall average score, potentially leading to a higher rank for the same score.

Hello Madhav,

No, you cannot apply for the July 2025 improvement exam again if you have already appeared as a private candidate and passed the subjects but did not meet the 75% requirement.

CBSE allows only one chance for improvement for regular students and limited chances for private candidates. Since you have taken the private exam for those subjects in 2025, you are not eligible to appear for the same improvement exam again in the same year.

You may consider preparing to improve your overall percentage in the next board exam cycle if applicable or explore other options depending on your educational goals.

With a MET 2025 score of 62 out of 240 and a board exam score of 83%, your expected rank is approximately between 10,400 and 12,700.

Hello Vishal,

With a score of 121 in MET 2025 and 86% in PCM board exams , here's a general analysis:

Predicted Rank:

• A MET score of 121 typically falls in the 15,000 to 18,000 rank range , though this can slightly vary each year based on exam difficulty and student performance.

• Since MET does not officially release detailed rank-score data, this estimate is based on past trends and analysis.
  
  Chances for CSE at MUJ (Manipal University Jaipur):

• CSE at MUJ is one of the most in-demand branches, and usually the closing rank lies around 8,000 to 10,000 .

• With a predicted rank around 15,000 to 18,000 , getting CSE at MUJ is quite unlikely in the initial rounds .

• However, you may have a chance in the later rounds or spot rounds if seats remain vacant or cutoff drops.
  
  Recommendations:

• Consider applying for branches like ECE, IT, or Data Science , which have slightly higher closing ranks.

• Keep checking counselling rounds regularly for any updates or vacant seats.

• You can also look at internal sliding options after first year, based on academic performance.

3. Composite Score (Out of 100):

   Composite Score=74.25+23.125=97.375Composite Score=74.25+23.125=97.375

• Expected Rank Range: 100-500 (Top Tier)

• A composite score of 97+ is very high and will likely place you in the top 100-300 ranks in MET 2024 (depending on competition).

• Last year, a similar score (~97+) would have secured a rank under 500 for B.Tech programs in Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) .

Hello Niveditha,

With a MET score of 79 and 89% in CBSE board exams, your predicted MET rank is likely to be above 40,000 .

For admission to Electronics and Communication (EC) at the Manipal Main Campus , previous trends suggest that the closing rank is usually within 10,000 to 20,000 .

So, with your current score, getting EC at the main campus is unlikely through the general counseling rounds. However, you may:

• Wait for spot rounds where cutoffs sometimes drop.

• Consider MIT Bengaluru or other campuses under Manipal group that have relatively lower cutoffs.

• Reappear for the next MET attempt if eligible, as a better score can improve your chances.
