Applicants are warned against possible cheating by unscrupulous agencies that may put out misleading advertisements in newspapers or approach by other means, promising and assuring seats for various courses for monetary considerations or by extracting large sum of money from candidates / parents. Manipal University wishes to authoritatively refute all such misleading false claims and advertisements. The seats for all the courses offered by Manipal University can be secured only by merit in the qualifying examination / entrance test. We have no agents or middlemen for admissions. There is no management quota, reserved seats or payment seats of any kind.

Foreign/Non Resident Indian (NRI) seats at Manipal University are not equivalent to payment seats or management quota. NRI seats are only available for students with Non Resident status or those sponsored by relatives with NRI status or foreign nationals.

In case you are approached by such agencies, please send us an email at admissions@manipal.edu with the details and we will take necessary action.

The number of candidates included in the merit list and also those called for the counselling will be more than the total number of seats available in the constituent colleges. This is to take care of any dropouts at the counselling stage. Mere inclusion in the merit list and call for counselling does not guarantee admission to a course. This will exclusively depend on the candidates all India rank, the number of candidates attending the counselling, their choice of course/institution and the number of seats available.


All admissions are subject to fulfillment of all the eligibility conditions by the candidate. If it is found at a later stage, during active verification, that the candidate has given false information/certificate or is found to have concealed some information his/her admission will be cancelled without any notice. It is the responsibility of the candidates to ensure that they fulfill all the eligibility requirements for the course/s applied.
