First of all I am asuming that you are familiar with the enterance test details.
I got 148/200 in MUOET and was on margin of getting CSE. My rank was 1428 while the cutoff went to 1557.
The interesting fact is that the cutoff was 1893 previous year. So that’s a huge leap. Since Manipal has got IOE tag so it’s value has increased so is the competition. This time the cutoff may be near 1200 so one must score 152+ to ensure CSE.
Though Question are not that tough. There will be 50%+ NCERT based easy questions rest will be moderate ques. mostly formula based that you will be able to solve if you are preparing for mains and advanced but the competition will be tough. A few ques. will be tougher ones.
PS: MANIPAL GIVES GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR FOR EXAM 3 TIMES WITH A FEW DAYS GAP AND BEST OF THREE IS COUNTED AS SCORE. APPEAR IN ALL THREE OF THEM.
