The initial step involves completing and submitting the MET M.Tech application form. This typically requires visiting the official Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) website. Ensure all details are accurately filled, including personal information, academic qualifications, and preferred M.Tech programs. Upload scanned copies of necessary documents such as mark sheets, identity proof, and passport-sized photographs. Pay the application fee online through the available payment gateways. Double-check all entries before final submission to avoid any discrepancies. Keep a copy of the submitted application form and payment confirmation for future reference. Meeting the eligibility criteria specified by MAHE is crucial for the application to be considered. Stay updated with the official website for any announcements or changes in the application process.

After successful application submission, the next step is to download the MET M.Tech admit card. MAHE usually announces the availability of admit cards on its official website. Candidates need to log in using their application number and password to access and download the admit card. Verify all details mentioned on the admit card, including your name, photograph, exam center, date, and time. In case of any discrepancies, immediately contact the MAHE authorities for rectification. Print a clear copy of the admit card, as it is a mandatory document to be carried to the examination hall. Without a valid admit card, entry to the exam center will be denied. Familiarize yourself with the exam center location beforehand to avoid any last-minute hassles on the exam day. Follow all instructions mentioned on the admit card carefully.

The Manipal Entrance Test (MET) for M.Tech is a crucial stage in the selection process. Arrive at the designated exam center well before the reporting time mentioned on the admit card. Carry your admit card along with a valid photo ID proof (Aadhar card, passport, or driver's license). Follow all instructions given by the invigilators during the examination. The MET M.Tech exam typically consists of multiple-choice questions covering relevant engineering subjects. Manage your time effectively to attempt all questions within the stipulated time frame. Avoid any malpractice or unfair means during the examination, as it may lead to disqualification. After the examination, keep your admit card safe for future reference. Stay updated with the official MAHE website for the announcement of results and further instructions.

Candidates who qualify in the MET M.Tech exam are eligible to participate in the counseling process. MAHE announces the counseling schedule and procedure on its official website. Qualified candidates need to register for counseling within the specified time frame. During counseling, candidates are required to choose their preferred M.Tech programs based on their rank and availability of seats. Document verification is an essential part of the counseling process. Candidates must carry all original documents, including mark sheets, certificates, and ID proof, for verification. Seat allotment is based on merit, preferences, and availability of seats. After seat allotment, candidates need to pay the prescribed admission fee to confirm their admission. Failure to pay the fee within the stipulated time may result in cancellation of the allotted seat. Regularly check the MAHE website for updates and announcements related to the counseling process.
