This is the fee the state has notified for a KEA-counselled seat at a college of this type — not a figure this college has published. Management, COMEDK and NRI seats at the same college are priced separately by the college and are not published here. See the full published grid.
Admission Process
Admission varies by discipline: medical and dental seats are filled through NEET and the relevant counselling, while engineering, management and several other programmes use MAHE's own online entrance tests such as MET, alongside merit routes. Programme eligibility and the entrance calendar are published on the admissions portal.

Questions & Answers
Ask a question →Answered from this college’s verified records — published fees and accreditation. Not written by students. How we verify data.
- What is the annual fee at Manipal Academy of Higher Education?
- For a seat allotted through KEA counselling the notified fee starts at ₹8,250 per year (KEA 2026-27, BPT (Physiotherapy) — all college types). That is the government-quota figure and it depends on the college's type, not on the college itself — a management-quota seat in the same course typically costs several times more, and only the college can confirm that one.
- Is Manipal Academy of Higher Education accredited?
- Our records show NAAC grade A++, AICTE approval, UGC recognition, NIRF rank 3 in University. The institution was established in 1953. Accreditation status changes — confirm the current position with NAAC or the college before relying on it.
- What are the placements like at Manipal Academy of Higher Education?
- Manipal Academy of Higher Education filed placement figures with NIRF itself. Its highest median salary is ₹14,00,000 for PG 3-year in 2023-24, from 55 of 62 graduates placed, and 6 other programmes are on this page. A median is of the graduates who were placed, not of the whole batch — the two are very different numbers.
