Dear aspirant,

As you have mentioned that you have got 160 marks in the manipal entrance examination so let me tell you that as per my calculations your rank would be somewhat around 1k considering the previous year dynamics. So you definitely have fair chances of getting ece branch in main campus.

But dynamics changes every year depending upon certain factors like number of candidates appearing in that examination, number of vacant seats, previous years cut offs.
