    COMEDK Counselling 2025: Round 1 seat acceptance deadline extended to August 4

    Comedk

    The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has officially extended key deadlines for its Round 1 counselling process for UGET 2025. Candidates now have additional time to confirm their allotment decisions and complete fee payment.

    🔍 What’s Changed in the Schedule:

    • Decision & Fee Payment: Extended to 11:00 AM, August 4, 2025

    • Reporting to College (Accept & Freeze candidates): Now due by 2:00 PM, August 4, 2025

    • Seat Cancellation / Withdrawal: Deadline remains at 4:00 PM, August 4, 2025

    Previously, all these activities were to conclude by August 1, 2025. The seat allotment results were published on July 28 at 4:00 PM, after which candidates could start decision-making and payments as per the original timetable.


    📝 Options Available to Candidates:

    Round 1 allotment allows students to choose from four options:

    • Accept & Freeze – Confirm seat and exit further counselling rounds

    • Accept & Upgrade – Accept current seat but remain eligible for higher-preference in upcoming rounds

    • Reject & Upgrade – Decline current seat and wait for a better allotment

    • Reject & Withdraw – Exit the process entirely

    For candidates choosing Accept & Freeze or Accept & Upgrade (including Reject & Upgrade), full tuition fee payment is mandatory online before the extended deadline. Only those who opt for Accept & Freeze are required to physically report to the college with original documents, including the fee receipt and allotment letter. Failure to report by 2 PM on August 4 will result in automatic forfeiture of the seat.


    🧭 Why this Extension Matters:

    The extra 3 days give candidates more breathing space to evaluate options, especially if they are awaiting decisions in upcoming counselling rounds or handling logistical challenges. COMEDK has emphasized that no further extensions will be granted; delays due to bank holidays or technical issues will not be accommodated.

    📆 Next Steps in COMEDK Counselling:

    • Round 2: Reserved for Hyderabad-Karnataka region candidates

    • Rounds 3 & 4: Applicable to general merit candidates

    Authorities plan to release the schedule for upcoming rounds soon. Candidates are advised to keep checking the official COMEDK website regularly for updates and official instructions.
