COMEDK UGET – 2024 FOR ENGINEERING COURSES

The Hon’ble Supreme Court in TMA Pai Foundation Vs. the State (2002) 8 SCC
481, Islamic Academy of Education Vs. the State reported in (2003) 6 SCC 697 and
PA Inamdar Vs. the State of Maharashtra reported in (2005) 6 SCC 537 held that
all institutions imparting same or similar professional education can join together
for holding a common entrance test satisfying the triple tests of being fair,
transparent and non-exploitative. Accordingly, Karnataka Unaided Private
Engineering Colleges Association (KUPECA) comprising of more than 150
Engineering colleges in Karnataka have joined together and have entrusted
COMEDK with the responsibility of conducting the entrance examination and seat
selection process based on a single common entrance test followed by
centralized counselling to students seeking admissions in their member
institutions so as to ensure fair and merit based admissions as envisaged in the
above judgments.

Since inception, COMEDK has been conducting its entrance test on the second
Sunday of May every year and because of COVID-19 pandemic, the schedule had to
be altered. However, COMEDK has been mandated by KUPECA to conduct its
Under Graduate Entrance Test (UGET – 2024) for Engineering Courses on the
second Sunday of May and the same will be conducted on Sunday the 12th May
2024 for admission to Engineering Courses in COMEDK member institutions. The
test will be Computer Based and will be conducted on All India basis across the
Country to facilitate the students to appear in the test closer to their homes and is
aimed at minimizing the cost of travel and other logistics.

A detailed calendar of events and the information Brochure along with eligibility
criteria in this behalf would be hosted on the website (www.comedk.org) in due
course. The candidates are required to check the website for all the updates. It may
be noted that "www.comedk.org" is the only official website of the Consortium and
COMEDK is not responsible for information available on other websites /
elsewhere.

It has come to our notice that even though COMEDK has cautioned them, some of
the candidates are still depending upon third parties such as Internet Cafe,
Education Consultants, random websites etc. for all COMEDK related activities, be
it making application, downloading TAT or Rank cards, choice filling in the
counseling and payment of fees. COMEDK again advises aspiring candidates and
their parents/guardians against such third parties which may result in
compromising your personal details which may fall into the wrong hands and you
may incur financial loss.

The candidates and their parents/guardians doing such activities by whatever

means will be doing so at their own risk and consequences. COMEDK will not be
liable for any loss or damage that may be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly
in this regard. COMEDK advises the candidates to bring these activities to the
notice of the concerned law enforcement authorities.
