My score in mu-oet is 139. Can I get cse or IT at Manipal.

I think I am very much eligible to answer this question.

Well I wrote MUOET ’17 and my score was the same ,that is 139/200 and my rank was 1958.

After scoring 139 I was damn sure of getting CSE.(because I did not have any knowledge of the cutoff) Fast forward to 4th June 2017 ,the first day of the round 1 counselling.

I still remember almost every guy/girl was there for CSE. But dreams shattered when all the 240 CSE seats were allocated till the rank of 1386.

So I took IT and had put CSE as waiting.

Fast forward to 2ND round of counselling, got the mail conveying that the CSE seats allocation went till rank of 1526 and hence again I couldn't make it.

Then came the 3rd Round of counselling, got a mail conveying that the CSE seat allocation went till the rank of 1833. It was too close but I still dint make it.

After 3rd Round I made my mind that I wont get my dream branch as there are very less chances that anyone will leave their seats in MIT as it was already JULY.

Then came the 4th round of counselling which was on 14 JULY 2017 (i suppose) .It was around 6pm I got a mail and somewhere in my mind I had a thought that I won't make it.

But I was surprised to see that I made it and the allocation went till the rank of 1978. U see, it was too close and pure luck.

Couple of my friends who had a score of 138 applied for the waiting but couldn't make it. So they were waiting for 5th round.

But 5th round(the last round ) surprised them as CSE was the only branch whose cutoff rank remained the same as that of 4th round.

In short if you wanna test your luck just like I did..go ahead. But if you don't wanna face all this then go for an other attempt and atleast score 145+.
