What is the cut-off mark for an MBBS in Manipal University?
Posted On - Oct 17, 2020
Manipal University conducts its own entrance exam called the Manipal Entrance Test (MET) for admission to its MBBS program. The cutoff marks for admission to MBBS in Manipal University through MET vary each year based on factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates appearing for the exam, and the number of available seats.
However, to give you an idea of the expected cutoff marks, for the 2021-22 academic year, the minimum cutoff score for MBBS through MET was 147 out of 800 marks for the general category students. However, it is important to note that this cutoff mark is subject to change each year based on the aforementioned factors.
Additionally, it is important to note that Manipal University also considers other factors besides the MET score for admission to its MBBS programs, such as the candidate's academic performance in their 10+2 or equivalent exam, extracurricular activities, and work experience. So, even if you meet the cutoff score, admission to the program is not guaranteed and will depend on your overall profile.
