Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) has released the Manipal Entrance Test (MET) 2026 rank cards at manipal.edu for candidates who appeared in the Manipal Entrance Test. Applicants can now access their ranks by logging into the official admission portal using their registered credentials.

The university has released the rank cards exclusively through the online mode, and no physical copies will be issued. Candidates from both Phase 1 and Phase 2 examinations can now view their ranks and download the rank card for use during the admission process.

As per the MAHE entrance pattern, the final ranks have been prepared by assigning equal weightage to a candidate's MET 2026 performance and Class 12 board examination marks. For students who appeared in both phases of the entrance examination, the higher of the two MET scores has been considered while preparing the merit ranking.
