The Consortium of Medical, Engineering, and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has announced the exam date for COMEDK UGET 2026, a key entrance examination for engineering aspirants across India. According to the official update, the COMEDK Undergraduate Entrance Test (UGET) 2026 will be conducted on 9 May 2026, in computer-based test (CBT) mode at centres located across the country.
COMEDK UGET is held annually to facilitate admission to undergraduate engineering programmes offered by private unaided engineering colleges in Karnataka. Aspirants planning to appear for the exam are advised to regularly visit the official website @comedk.org, for the release of the detailed notification, which will include important information on application dates, eligibility criteria, and exam guidelines. Candidates are encouraged to stay updated to ensure they do not miss any critical announcements related to the 2026 examination.
What is COMEDK UGET Exam?
The COMEDK UGET 2026 will be held on an all-India basis, allowing candidates to choose exam centres close to their homes. The UGET score will be used for admission to more than 150 private unaided engineering colleges in Karnataka that are affiliated with the Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges Association (KUPECA).
COMEDK has confirmed that admissions will be done through a single common entrance test followed by a centralised counselling process. This system follows important Supreme Court rulings in the TMA Pai Foundation, Islamic Academy of Education, and PA Inamdar cases, which allow private unaided colleges to admit students through a fair, transparent and common entrance exam.
The consortium also said that the detailed schedule, eligibility criteria and official information brochure for COMEDK UGET 2026 will be released soon on the official website, comedk.org. Candidates are advised to use only the official COMEDK website for correct information and updates.
COMEDK warned applicants not to rely on third-party services such as internet cafés, private education consultants, or unofficial websites for submitting applications, downloading admit cards or rank cards, filling choices during counselling, or paying fees. The consortium stressed that all UGET-related activities must be completed only through the official website to avoid mistakes, wrong information, or financial loss.
