COMEDK UGET 2026: Round 1 Allotment on July 28! Revised Schedule

The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has officially revised the Undergraduate Entrance Test (UGET) 2026 Round 1 counselling schedule. The primary reason for this amendment is the extension of the choice editing window, which previously had a much shorter duration. Candidates now have a vital opportunity to refine their college and branch preferences, ensuring their choices align perfectly with their merit and aspirations.

The Round 1 seat allotment, initially slated for an earlier release, will now be declared at 3 PM on July 28, 2026. This extension provides a much-needed buffer for students to carefully consider their options following the mock allotment results. Remember, COMEDK conducts centralised counselling for private engineering colleges in Karnataka, and seat allocations are strictly based on merit, candidate preferences, and seat availability. Double-check your choices before the deadline of 2 PM on July 24, 2026!

Stay informed with the crucial revised dates for COMEDK UGET 2026 Round 1 counselling:

Note: COMEDK has indicated that this schedule remains subject to further change, so continuous monitoring of comedk.org is highly recommended.

For context, here’s a look at the COMEDK UGET 2026 counselling events that have already been successfully completed:

Only candidates who have successfully completed their registration and whose documents have been verified and approved are eligible to participate in the Round 1 choice editing process. Your document status must explicitly show as 'Approved' in your candidate login portal. Please note that a non-refundable registration fee of Rs 2,000 was required. Unfortunately, candidates who missed the initial registration deadline are not eligible to join Round 1 counselling.

Follow these simple steps to check your allotment result on July 28, 2026:

1. Visit the official COMEDK website at comedk.org.
2. Navigate to the engineering candidate login page.
3. Enter your application number and password.
4. Click on the 'Round 1 seat allotment result' link.
5. Review the allotted college, branch, and seat category carefully.
6. Download and save a copy of your allotment letter for future reference.

Once the Round 1 seat allotment is out, allotted candidates must take immediate action:

• Confirm Your Decision: Log in to the counselling portal and confirm your decision (e.g., Accept & Freeze, Accept & Upgrade, Reject & Upgrade, Reject & Exit).
• Online Fee Payment: If you accept a seat, the prescribed college fee must be paid online within the stipulated window.
• Reporting to College: Candidates who choose 'Accept and Freeze' must report to their allotted college. Ensure you carry a printout of your allotment letter and the paid fee receipt.
• Cancellation: It's important to note that even if you accept a seat in Round 1, there is a specific window for seat cancellation, which closes at 3 PM of August 3, 2026.

Crucial Reminder: Missing any of these deadlines can result in the forfeiture of your allotted seat.

COMEDK engineering counselling primarily operates with two seat categories: General Merit and Kalyana Karnataka Region. It is important for candidates to understand that there is no direct reservation for SC, ST, or OBC categories within the COMEDK's own seat matrix. Any state government reservations for these categories are applied to seats transferred to the government quota. While SC/ST/OBC certificates might help Karnataka candidates claim lower eligibility marks, they do not guarantee a direct reservation within the COMEDK counselling process itself. Always refer to the official information brochure for comprehensive details.

To ensure a smooth counselling experience, follow this action plan:

• Log in to comedk.org and access your choice filling form.
• Verify that your document verification status clearly shows 'Approved'.
• Thoroughly study the mock round cut-off ranks before making any changes to your preferences.
• Carefully add, reorder, or delete colleges and branches as per your revised strategy.
• Crucially, save every preference! Unsaved choices will not be considered during the allotment process.
• For a complete understanding of the rules, refer to the official counselling process document: Counselling Process Document 2026.
• Arrange for the college fee payment well in advance of the allotment result publication.
• Note the specific reporting hours of your likely allotted college to avoid any last-minute rush or confusion.

Keep an Eye On: COMEDK has yet to publish the Round 2 engineering counselling schedule. Additionally, document verification dates for Architecture Round 1 are still awaited. Stay tuned for these crucial updates!
