Greetings dear Rutwik

Firstly, congrats on successful completion of your MET exam. The cut-off trends keeps changing every year and it depends on the number of students attempting the exam, difficulty level, number of available seats, etc. The cut-off of Mechanical branch at Manipal campus was 10,714  in Round 1 and 14,187 in Round 3 in the year 2020. Whereas, it was 16,790 in the year 2018 for Manipal campus. Just apply to their counselling process and as it is conducted in different rounds, your chances of securing a seat increases.
