Overview

Manipal Academy of Higher Education has updated MET 2026 with significant structural changes worth noting.

New Pattern: 200 questions across Physics (50), Chemistry (50), Mathematics (70), English (10), and General Aptitude (20). Duration is 150 minutes.

Negative Marking: Newly introduced at -1 per wrong answer. This changes the optimal attempt strategy - aim for 85% accuracy minimum.

Mode: Fully online, conducted in two slots. Score normalisation will apply across slots.

Preparation Tip: Increase mock test frequency in the final month, and practice section-wise time allocation. Most students lose marks not from lack of knowledge but from poor time management.
