COMEDK Counselling 2026: Mock Choice Filling Starts July 11; Revised Seat Matrix Out

The Consortium of Medical, Engineering, and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has officially released the schedule for the COMEDK UGET 2026 mock counselling round. According to the official notification on comedk.org, the online mock choice filling process will begin on July 11, 2026.

This is a crucial step for qualified candidates who have completed their document verification. It allows students to select and lock their preferred engineering colleges and academic branches before the final seat allotment begins. Along with the schedule, COMEDK has also released a revised provisional seat matrix, bringing good news with an increase in total available engineering seats.

COMEDK 2026 Choice Filling: Key Dates

Candidates must complete their option entry within the specified window. Below are the important dates for the first phase of choice filling:

What is COMEDK Mock Choice Filling?

The mock choice filling round is a practice session or a simulation of the actual seat allocation process. When you fill in your preferred choices of colleges and courses, the COMEDK system processes these entries along with your rank and category.

It then generates a “Mock Allotment” result. This result is not your final admission seat. Instead, it gives you a realistic idea of which college you might get based on your current preferences and merit rank. If you are unhappy with the mock result, you can change, reorder, or add new choices before the actual Round 1 allotment.

COMEDK 2026 Revised Seat Matrix: More Engineering Seats Added

In another major update, COMEDK has uploaded a revised tentative seat matrix for the 2026 admission cycle. The total number of engineering seats has been increased to 24,644, up from the previously announced 24,626 seats.

The authorities have also increased the total seat share under the General Merit (GM) category. Candidates are highly encouraged to review this updated matrix on the official website to understand the exact intake, fee structure, and distribution across participating private engineering institutes in Karnataka.

The option entry process must be done entirely online. Follow these simple steps to complete your choice filling:

Strategic Tips for Candidates

• Do Not Limit Choices: There is no restriction on the number of choices you can add. Fill in as many options as possible to avoid missing out on a seat.

• Analyze Cut-Offs: Compare your COMEDK 2026 rank with previous years’ closing ranks of your preferred branches.

• Balance the List: Create a balanced list containing a mix of high-aiming choices, realistic colleges fitting your rank, and safe options to secure admission.

The mock choice-filling round is the ultimate testing ground for your COMEDK counseling strategy. Treat this trial run seriously—it is your best chance to understand how your rank matches up with your dream colleges without any real risk.

Make sure to log in on July 11, review the newly added seats in the revised matrix, and arrange your preferences carefully. Keep a close eye on the July 13 deadline, and ensure all your entries are saved and locked properly to secure the best possible engineering seat.
