The Manipal Academy of Higher Education will make MET 2026 admit cards available starting April 10 at 11 p.m. through the Online Test Booking System. This release precedes the Phase 1 computer-based examinations on April 13 and 14, allowing registered candidates to secure their hall tickets until April 13. Access requires candidates' application numbers and OTBS passwords, marking a critical step for thousands seeking entry into Manipal's competitive undergraduate programs.
Download Process and Availability Window
Candidates access admit cards exclusively online via OTBS login, a system designed to streamline exam logistics for Manipal's entrance tests. The platform reflects slot preferences submitted earlier or automatic assignments for those who missed booking deadlines, ensuring equitable distribution across available centers. Downloading early avoids last-minute issues, as hall tickets remain available only until April 13, aligning with the exam's start.
Phase 1 Exam Schedule and Format
Exams occur over two days in morning and afternoon shifts: April 13 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., repeating on April 14. This structure accommodates high applicant volumes for the computer-based test covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English—core subjects for engineering and related streams at MAHE. Fixed slots post-allotment prevent changes, compelling candidates to adapt to assigned centers and times printed on their documents.
Essential Admit Card Details and Exam Protocols
Hall tickets list candidate names, application numbers, exam dates, times, center addresses, slot specifics, reporting instructions, and guidelines. Verification upon download detects discrepancies, prompting immediate contact with authorities to resolve errors before test day. Mandatory items include a printed admit card and valid photo ID; absence bars entry, underscoring the document's role as the primary verification tool in MAHE's secure, proctored environment.
