COMEDK Counselling Process – What You Need to Know

COMEDK counselling is the final and perhaps most decisive stage in securing a seat in one of Karnataka’s premier private engineering colleges. After the exam results are out, aspirants must successfully navigate the counselling rounds to get placed in their preferred college and branch. Regardless of whether your COMEDK rank is in the top percentile or falls in the mid-range, a clear understanding of this process can significantly boost your chances of admission.

This guide walks you through each stage of COMEDK UGET counselling—right from initial registration to final reporting at college—and outlines how Deeksha supports students at every critical step.

Step-by-Step COMEDK Counselling Guide

1. Registration & Document Upload

• Begin by logging in to the official COMEDK counselling portal.
• Complete the counselling registration form with accurate academic and personal details.
• Upload mandatory documents such as:
  • COMEDK UGET rank card
  • SSLC/10th marks card
  • 2nd PUC/12th marks card
  • Candidate photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport)
  • Category certificate (if claiming reservation)
• Pay the non-refundable counselling registration fee online.

2. Document Verification

• The uploaded documents are reviewed by the COMEDK verification team.
• If any documents are missing or unclear, you’ll be notified via your registered email or mobile.
• Once verified, a confirmation message is sent, after which students can proceed to choice filling.

3. Choice Filling & Locking

• View the complete list of colleges and branches available for your rank.
• Select as many college-course combinations as possible in your preferred order to maximise seat chances.
• You can modify your choices multiple times before the locking deadline.
• After finalising, lock the choices—locked preferences are considered during seat allotment.

4. Mock Allotment

• The mock allotment result helps students understand what colleges they are likely to get based on current preferences.
• It allows students to reassess and reorder their choices if needed.
• This round is crucial for improving the chances of getting desired colleges in final allotment.

5. Final Allotment & Fee Payment

• Final allotment is declared based on your COMEDK rank, category, and locked choices.
• Students allotted a seat must:
  • Download the allotment letter.
  • Pay the first-year tuition fee online through the portal within the specified deadline.
• Seat acceptance confirms your willingness to join the allotted college.

6. Reporting to College

• After fee payment, students are required to physically report to the allotted college within the given timeline.
• Carry all original documents along with self-attested copies:
  • COMEDK allotment letter
  • Tuition fee payment receipt
  • Original mark sheets
  • Valid photo ID proof
• Failure to report on time can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat.

7. Participation in Further Rounds (Optional)

• Students who are not satisfied with the allotted seat may choose to:
  • Participate in the next round while retaining the current seat (choice upgrade option)
  • Reject the seat and wait for better options in subsequent rounds
• There are generally 3–4 rounds, followed by a spot round for vacant seats.
