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.

- 2nd PUC/12th marks card
- Candidate photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport)
- Category certificate (if claiming reservation)

2. Document Verification
- The uploaded documents are reviewed by the COMEDK verification team.

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.

- Valid photo ID proof
- Failure to report on time can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat.
7. Participation in Further Rounds (Optional)

- Reject the seat and wait for better options in subsequent rounds
