MET 2026 Round 5 Seat Details
The MET 2026 counselling process covers roughly 2,700 to 3,000 B.Tech seats across MAHE’s campuses. Round 5 allotment fills seats that remained vacant after earlier rounds due to candidates not confirming admission, upgrading branches, or withdrawing.
Specific numbers of vacant seats by campus and branch for Round 5 have not been separately published. Candidates should check the seat matrix available during choice filling on the counselling portal for the latest details.
How MET 2026 Seat Allotment Works
Seats are allotted based on merit, which combines the MET exam score and Class 12 marks equally (50:50 weightage). The process considers candidates’ preferences and available seats to assign seats fairly.
MET 2026 Round 5 Fee Payment and Seat Confirmation
After getting a seat allotment, candidates must pay the required course fee through the counselling portal to confirm their admission. In previous rounds, the payment window was usually 3 to 4 days, but candidates should check their individual allotment letter for the exact deadline.
If the fee is not paid within the deadline, the allotted seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate.
