MET 2027 Exam: How many attempts are available in Manipal Entrance Test?
Manipal Academy of Higher Education conducts two phases of MET exam. Both phases are held separately, and the candidates will have to register for each phase individually. MET 2027 Phase 1 exam is expected to be held in the second week of April, while Phase 2 will be held in fourth week of May. A third attempt may be held if there are still vacant seats. The decision for the Phase 3 exam will be made by the MAHE authorities.
Which MET 2027 exam attempt to take?
Candidates are advised to prepare to attempt both MET 2027 exam phases, if possible. By attempting both phases, MAHE will consider both scores and choose the best for MET admissions. Since there is no change in syllabus between the two phases, candidates will not require any extra preparation for the second exam attempt.
Taking both MET exam attempts also gives candidates a second chance to improve their score, if they have not performed well in the first attempt. MET first attempt also acts as a stepping stone to understand the exam pattern and questions well, so that a better preparation strategy is adopted for the second attempt. Candidates are also encouraged to attempt both MET phases, since there is no negative impact, as the second attempt score will not cancel out the first attempt, and vice versa. The highest score, regardless of the attempt number, will be taken into consideration while preparing MET merit list. However, candidates who scored well in MET first attempt and are completely satisfied can skip second attempt.
