How does COMEDK compare with JEE Main in difficulty?
It sits between the state engineering entrances and JEE Main. The syllabus is the conventional class 11 and 12 science curriculum with no additional sections, and the questions are more demanding than a typical state paper but without the multi-concept problems that characterise harder JEE Main questions. A candidate preparing properly for JEE Main is already covering the content at more than sufficient depth.
How should I prepare for COMEDK alongside JEE?
The syllabus needs no additional study, so the work is in two other places. First, subject balance: because the three subjects are equally weighted, your weakest one caps your score directly, in a way that a weighted paper partly disguises — so give it disproportionate attention. Second, attempt habits: practise full three-hour papers with no penalty applied and every question answered, so the no-blanks discipline is automatic on the day.
When is COMEDK UGET 2027?
Not yet notified. COMEDK announced the 2026 date on 8 January 2026, opened applications on 3 February and held the test on Saturday 9 May 2026 with rank cards on 29 May; the 2027 notice is expected on comedk.org in December 2026 or January 2027, with the test again in the second week of May.
What is the COMEDK UGET exam pattern?
A three-hour computer-based test of 180 multiple-choice questions — 60 each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics — for 180 marks, one mark per correct answer and no deduction for a wrong one, in English only. The syllabus is the CBSE class 11 and 12 syllabus, about a third from class 11 and two-thirds from class 12.
Is there negative marking in COMEDK?
No. A correct answer earns one mark and a wrong or blank answer earns nothing, so every question should be attempted. Ties are broken on the higher percentile in Physics and Mathematics together, then in Mathematics, then in Chemistry, then age.
What is the COMEDK fee?
₹1,950 for the COMEDK UGET alone, ₹1,600 for Uni-GAUGE E alone and ₹3,200 for both, plus transaction charges, paid online by card or net banking; there is no offline mode. A challenge to the provisional answer key costs ₹500 per question, refunded in full if it is upheld.
Who is eligible for COMEDK UGET?
Indian citizens, OCIs and PIOs who have passed class 12 (second PUC or equivalent) with Physics, Mathematics and English plus Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Computer Science or Electronics, scoring 45 per cent aggregate in PCM — 40 per cent for SC, ST and OBC candidates of Karnataka — with a pass in each subject, all from one board. Diploma holders are not eligible.
What were the COMEDK 2026 cut-off ranks?
COMEDK publishes the cut-off rank of every branch at every member college after each allotment round — the round 2 engineering cut-offs were notified on 7 August 2026 and the round 4 architecture cut-offs on 9 September — along with the vacant seats after each decision window. Those PDFs on comedk.org are the reference; the closing ranks differ widely between colleges and branches.
How does COMEDK counselling work?
Through COMEDK’s own online single-window counselling for the member colleges: registration with the rank card and documents, online verification, choice filling, and allotment rounds in which a candidate accepts and freezes, accepts and upgrades or rejects and upgrades, paying the fee at COMEDK level. Later rounds restrict the options, reporting to the allotted college is mandatory, and failing to join after accepting forfeits the fee with a penalty.
What are the COMEDK counselling dates 2026?
COMEDK published the 2026 rank cards on 29 May and ran its online counselling on comedk.org from June: document verification and option entry first, then round 1 seat allotment, round 2 and round 3 through July and early August, and a round 4 in August–September for the seats that remained. Each round has a choice-filling window, an allotment date and a reporting deadline at the allotted college, and a candidate who does not act within the deadline forfeits the seat.
What is the COMEDK 2026 result date and how do I check it?
The provisional answer keys were published on 16 May 2026 with objections to 18 May, the final keys on 23 May, and the result as rank cards on 29 May 2026, downloaded from the candidate login on comedk.org with the application number and password. The rank card carries the test score, the COMEDK rank and, for Uni-GAUGE applicants, the Uni-GAUGE score.
Are there free COMEDK mock tests?
Yes. The free COMEDK mock tests here follow the 2026 pattern — 180 questions, 60 per subject, three hours, one mark each with no deduction — and report the score by subject and an estimated rank band. COMEDK’s own mock test on comedk.org shows the exact interface.
