MET 2026 Round 5 seat allotment was released by the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) on July 30, 2026. Candidates who registered for Round 5 counselling can check their allotment status by logging in at counseling.manipal.edu using their application number and password. This round is meant for candidates who did not receive a seat in earlier rounds, or who want to upgrade their existing allotment based on vacant seats across MAHE campuses.

MET 2026 Round 5 Seat Details

MET 2026 counselling covers approximately 2,700 to 3,000 B.Tech seats spread across MAHE’s participating campuses. Round 5 specifically allots seats that remained vacant after candidates in earlier rounds did not confirm their admission, upgraded to a different branch, or withdrew from counselling.

Campus and branch-wise vacant seat numbers for Round 5 have not been officially published as a separate figure. Candidates should refer to the seat matrix shown during choice filling on the counselling portal for the most current, individual figures.

How MET 2026 Seat Allotment Works 

MAHE allots seats using a merit-based process. The steps are:

1. Merit rank calculation: A candidate’s final rank is based on MET score and Class 12 qualifying marks, each carrying 50% weightage.
2. Choice filling: Candidates rank their preferred campus-branch combinations on the counselling portal before the round’s deadline.
3. Allotment: Seats are allotted based on merit rank, filled choices, and seat availability at each campus.
4. Confirmation: Allotted candidates must accept the seat and pay the required fee instalment within the stated deadline to confirm admission.
5. Carry-forward: Seats not confirmed on time are released back into the pool for the next round.

How to Check MET 2026 Round 5 Seat Allotment Status

1. Go to the official MAHE counselling portal, counseling.manipal.edu.
2. Log in using your MET application number and password.
3. Navigate to the seat allotment or Round 5 result section.
4. Your allotment status, along with allotted campus and branch (if any), will be displayed on screen.
5. Download and save the allotment letter for your records.

MET 2026 Round 5 Fee Payment and Seat Confirmation

Once a seat is allotted, candidates must pay the required course fee instalment through the counselling portal to confirm admission. Based on the pattern seen in Round 3 and Round 4 of MET 2026 counselling, the payment window after allotment has typically been around 3 to 4 days, though this is not guaranteed to be identical for Round 5. Candidates should confirm their exact payment deadline from their individual allotment letter rather than relying on past-round timelines.

If a candidate does not pay the fee and complete confirmation within the deadline, the seat is cancelled and released for allotment to the next eligible candidate.

Important Instructions for MET 2026 Round 5 Candidates

• Check your allotment status only through the official portal, counseling.manipal.edu.
• Keep your application number and password secure and ready before the result is declared.
• Complete fee payment within the deadline mentioned in your allotment letter to avoid automatic seat cancellation.
• Keep both original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies ready for physical verification at your allotted campus.
• If you are not satisfied with your Round 5 allotment, check with MAHE whether a further round is being conducted, since Manipal has in past years conducted up to five or more counselling rounds depending on seat vacancy.
