The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has extended the Round 1 choice filling deadline for COMEDK UGET Counselling 2026. Candidates seeking admission to Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programmes can now fill and lock their preferred colleges and courses until 4:00 PM on July 24, 2026, through the official COMEDK counselling portal.

The extension comes as a relief for candidates who require additional time to finalize their college preferences. Earlier, the choice filling process was scheduled to conclude on July 18, 2026. With the revised timeline, COMEDK has also postponed the Round 1 seat allotment result, which will now be announced on July 28, 2026.
Only candidates whose documents have been successfully verified by COMEDK are eligible to participate in the Round 1 choice filling process. Eligible candidates are advised to make full use of the extended deadline to carefully arrange their preferences before locking them.
Since seat allotment will be based on the candidate's UGET rank, category, preferences, and seat availability, the order in which colleges and courses are selected plays a significant role in determining the final allotment.
