MET 2023 Sample Papers

With a score of 130 in KCET 2025, getting a CSE seat in top government or top-tier private colleges in Bangalore may be challenging, especially under the General category. However, you still have a chance in some good private colleges depending on your category (like SC, ST, OBC, 3A, etc.) and whether you belong to a rural or Kannada medium quota. Colleges like Atria Institute of Technology, AMC Engineering College, or New Horizon College of Engineering may be within reach for CSE or similar branches like ISE or AI&DS.

Keep checking the official KEA counseling portal for cutoff ranks from the previous years, as they give a clearer idea of what to expect. Also, try keeping backup options like Information Science, Artificial Intelligence, or ECE in slightly lower-tier colleges, as they sometimes offer similar opportunities. If you’re aiming for CSE specifically, you can also consider applying for management quota or explore spot round counseling if available.

Hi Johan,

You can only amend your second PUC board marks to your KCET (or MET) after your third improvement exams. You will have to upload your new marks on the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) portal after the results come out in the first week of July in the allowed window of time for correction or updating the grades.

If the marks increased in the PCME subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English), it could affect your KCET ranking, since 50% of your CET rank is based on the board exam marks in PCME subjects. Make sure you are monitoring the official site for ongoing information about time required to enter marks as well as document verification.

CSE is the most sought-after branch, even at the Bangalore campus.

With a MET score of 121, your chances for direct admission into CSE are moderate to low, based on previous year trends (cutoff for CSE usually ranges between 105–125 for MIT Bangalore depending on competition).

However, your 86% board marks are good, which can strengthen your profile slightly in case there's a tie or marginal cutoff.

With 121 marks in MET 2025, your estimated rank is 18,000–25,000.

Likely Options:

Manipal Jaipur/Sikkim – IT, ECE, other branches

Manipal Main Campus – Unlikely for CSE or IT

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:

Total Number of Candidates:

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.

Category:

Reserved categories may have different cutoff ranks.

Tie-Breaking Rules:

in case of ties, Mathematics marks, then Physics marks, then Chemistry marks, and finally age are considered for determining the rank.

HEY THERE!!

With a MET score of 70 and a board percentile of 93, your estimated rank is likely to be around 17,400 for MAHE Bengaluru.

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.

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.
