COMEDK 2026 Round 1 Cutoff Scores Announced; 8,454 Positions Still Available

The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has officially released the cutoff rankings for the first round of the COMEDK UGET 2026 admissions process. Candidates can now access the cutoff PDFs, which detail the closing ranks for various participating institutes, on the official website, comedk.org. This information is crucial for students as it indicates the ranks at which admissions were granted for different courses, helping them assess their chances of securing a seat.

Following the completion of the round 1 allotment process, the consortium has also disclosed the number of vacant seats available across the participating colleges. A total of 8,454 seats remain unfilled after the first round, with 5,668 of these designated for general merit (GM) candidates and 2,786 reserved for KKR category applicants. This breakdown provides students with a clearer understanding of branch-wise seat availability, which is essential for making informed decisions in subsequent rounds.

Notably, prestigious institutions such as Ramaiah University College of Engineering, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, R V College of Engineering, and M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology have reported no vacant seats across any of their branches. This trend underscores the competitive nature of admissions at these top-tier colleges. However, students are advised to remain vigilant, as the final seat allocation may change before the second round of counseling.

Candidates have until July 31 to either accept or reject the seats they have been allotted. This timeline is critical as it allows students to finalize their decisions based on the available options and the cutoffs released. The consortium is expected to provide a final PDF before the commencement of the second round of counseling, which will reflect any changes in seat availability.

As the admissions process progresses, students are encouraged to stay updated on the latest developments regarding exam results, important dates, admit cards, and other educational news. For any inquiries or further assistance, candidates can reach out to the news team via email. The ongoing updates are vital for students navigating the complexities of college admissions in Karnataka.
