COMEDK Engineering Exam Experience

In 2021, I appeared for the COMEDK examination to secure admission in the top colleges in Karnataka. The COMEDK exam is conducted by the “Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka” and offers admission to over 150 colleges in Karnataka, including Engineering, Architecture, Medical and Dental colleges. Despite facing a few challenges and setbacks, I have no regrets for not getting admission into the esteemed IITs or NITs. This story is a reflection of my journey and the valuable lessons I learned along the way.

COMEDK is purely Computer Based Test and the duration of the examination is 180 mins. Although the medium of the language is English and there were three sections in the exam – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Each section contains 60 Multiple choice-based questions. Total number of questions in the exam is 180 questions.

Candidates will be awarded 1 mark for correct answer and there is no negative marking for incorrect answer.

My first step was to understand the JEE Mains syllabus, identifying main topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. For the preparation, I do not get much worried about the syllabus of the COMEDK exam, because almost entire syllabus is same as the syllabus for Jee mains exam. I know some topics clearly as they were studied at the time of Jee mains.

I started preparing two months before the exam, because this much amount of time is sufficient for studies. I can create the daily timetable and thoroughly followed it. Mostly, I preferred Ncert books for studying the topics and deeply covered all the syllabus. Ncert books are the part of my life at that time as I spent most of the time with them. I used to take mock tests regularly and it was a crucial part of my preparation. These mock tests helping me improve my time management and get familiar with the exam pattern. Also practice pyq’s to familiar with the exam pattern.

After two months of hardwork and dedication to get the best out of me, the day has to be come when the results are coming out. I checked my score and I am very upset to know my score in the examination. I got 79 marks in the examination, although it is the passing score but not as much better what I expected. In this score, I do not get admission in the top colleges like RVCE and Ramaiah. So, I decided to not filling the Counselling form and again start learning to prepared for my next Jee mains attempt.

For the Information, Counselling process can be done in three rounds –

• Candidates must be upload all the required documents for the Counselling process along with the initial fees of 2000 as a counselling fee.
• After document verification, candidates can select their preferred courses and colleges from the available list.
• COMEDK conducts a mock allotment to give candidates an idea of the seat allotment based on their choices and rank.
• Based on the candidate’s rank, preferences, and seat availability, COMEDK will announce the seat allotment results. Candidates can view their allotted seat on the official website.
• If a candidate accepts the seat, they must pay the required fees to confirm their admission.

My journey is a full of unexpected twists and personal growth that emerged along the way. The hours of studying, lots of pressure and the moments of uncertainity will bring a lots of values and adaptability. By the way, I got my second Jee mains attempt and got a good results in the exam. Ultimately, the journey through engineering exams is more than a test of knowledge; it’s a test of character and the beginning of a lifelong commitment to learning and self-improvement.
