All You Need To Know About COMEDK UGET 2017 Exam

Engineering, Medical or Dental Aspirant? Couldn’t score well in JEE Main? If yes, then you still have a savior- COMEDK UGET 2017. The exam is conducted nationally for admission to medical, dental and engineering courses in the private colleges of Karnataka. It is organized by Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK). The exam is for admission to the undergraduate programs only.

It is a state level examination which provides admission to not just the state domiciled candidates but offers opportunities to candidates across the country. There are around 150 engineering colleges across India which are affiliated to COMEDK. These colleges offer approximately 20, 000 seats in total. The seats are allotted to the eligible candidates after they get a good COMEDK Result.

State Level KCET Exam: Another state level exam conducted in Karnataka is KCET. How are these two exams different? KCET is specifically conducted for government college admission in Karnataka while COMEDK grants admissions to private professional colleges in Karnataka. KCET caters to only Karnataka domicile candidates while COMEDK is conducted for admission to candidates both from and outside Karnataka.

Admission through which one is cheaper? The difference between the fees of the allotted colleges is major. The ratio of the fee of colleges through KCET to the fee of colleges through COMEDK is 1:4. While a govt. college from KCET costs you INR 18, 000, a college through COMEDK will cost you INR 1, 50,000. Talking about the exam, COMEDK UGET 2017 is more difficult than KCET, However JEE Main takes away the limelight being the most difficult of all.

What are the changes introduced in COMEDK UGET 2017?
