Common Issues During MET Slot Booking 2026 Phase 2 and How to Fix Them

Sr.	Type	Text	Style	Items
1	paragraph	Many candidates face minor challenges during the slot booking window. Here is how you can handle the most frequent issues.
2	list		unordered	Unable to log in to OTBS Double‑check your application number and password, see if Caps Lock is off, and use the “forgot password” or help option if available. Also ensure you are on the correct MET 2026 OTBS portal and not an old or wrong link. Preferred city or slot not available If your preferred test city or slot is not displayed, it is likely that capacity is full in that option. In that case, choose another slot, date or nearby city from the available options rather than waiting till the last minute. Payment not updated / booking blocked If the system shows that your application fee payment is pending, cross‑check your bank transaction status. If the payment has been debited but not updated in the application, contact the helpdesk with payment proof. Technical errors while booking Switch to another browser, clear cache and cookies, or use a different device / connection. If the error persists, take screenshots and email MAHE admissions or the MET technical support team with details.

Tips for Choosing the Best MET 2026 Phase 2 Slot

Sr.	Type	Text	Style	Items
1	paragraph	Beyond just getting any slot, it is smart to choose a slot that supports your performance.
2	list		unordered	Pick a convenient date Select a date that gives you enough time for final revision and does not clash with other major entrance exams or board exams. Choose your most alert time of day If you generally perform better in the morning, opt for a morning slot; if you are more focused in the afternoon, choose an afternoon slot. Book early for better choices Since the system is first‑come‑first‑serve, logging in soon after the window opens on May 9, 2026 increases your chances of getting your preferred city and slot.
