COMEDK UGET 2026: 14,902 Engineering Seats Vacant After Round 4 Counselling

The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) announced today, September 9, 2026, that 14,902 undergraduate engineering seats remain vacant across private colleges in Karnataka following the completion of four rounds of counselling for COMEDK UGET 2026. This significant number of unallotted seats comes after the Round 4 seat allotment was released on September 1, 2026, marking the final planned stage of the counselling process.

The substantial vacancy highlights ongoing challenges in filling engineering programmes within the state, despite an initial pool of 17,815 seats available for allocation in Round 4. This situation necessitates a review of admission strategies by the Karnataka Professional Colleges Foundation and participating institutions as the academic year progresses.

COMEDK Uget 2026 Counselling: Vacancy Overview

COMEDK UGET 2026 counselling, structured across four planned rounds, has concluded with a considerable number of seats still open. After the first round of seat allotment, 8,454 B.Tech seats across Karnataka’s private engineering colleges were already vacant. This initial shortfall has now escalated, with nearly 15,000 seats remaining unfilled even after the final scheduled round.

The Round 4 choice filling process for COMEDK UGET 2026 was conducted from August 26 to 28, 2026, with candidates submitting their preferences for the available 17,815 engineering seats. However, the subsequent seat allotment on September 1, 2026, did not manage to fill a lot of these positions, leaving a substantial portion unallocated.

COMEDK Uget 2026 Counselling Dates and Vacancies

The COMEDK UGET 2026 counselling process spanned several key dates, from the initial seat allotments to the final round. Candidates were required to adhere to strict deadlines for fee payment and physical reporting to secure their allotted seats.

What Happens After COMEDK Uget 2026 Round 4 Allotment?

For candidates who secured a seat in the COMEDK UGET 2026 Round 4 allotment, you can’t ignore to understand that no further upgrade options are available. These candidates must proceed with the payment of the admission fee and complete the physical reporting process at their respective allotted colleges by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of their allotted seat.

The significant number of remaining vacant seats after four rounds suggests that COMEDK, in consultation with the Karnataka Professional Colleges Foundation, may consider further steps such as spot admissions or additional rounds to fill these undergraduate engineering programmes. Official announcements regarding any such future processes will be made on the official COMEDK website, comedk.org.
