COMEDK 2026 Choice Filling: Complete Guide to Mock Round Steps

If you have cleared COMEDK UGET 2026 and finished your document verification, today marks an important day for you. The mock round choice filling has started, and this is your practice run before the real seat allotment begins.

Think of the mock round like a rehearsal before opening night. You get to pick your colleges and branches, see how the system works, and figure out where you stand, all without any real pressure. No seat gets locked in during this stage, so there is room to experiment and learn.

What is the Mock Round and Why Does it Matter

COMEDK runs this mock round to help candidates understand the seat allotment process before the actual counselling begins. You submit your preferences, and based on those choices, COMEDK releases a mock seat allotment result. This gives you a rough idea of which college and branch you might get.

Keep in mind, this allotment is only indicative. It does not guarantee you a seat. But it does help you plan better for the real rounds ahead.

Key Dates You Should Know

• Mock round choice filling window: July 11 to July 13, 2026, till 4 PM
• Counselling registration period: May 30 to June 12, 2026
• Document verification: Completed for all eligible candidates

Mark these dates on your calendar. Missing the deadline means missing your shot at the mock round entirely.

Steps to Fill Your COMEDK 2026 Choices

The process is simple once you know what to do:

1. Go to the official COMEDK counselling portal
2. Log in with your registered User ID and password
3. Click on the 'Choice Filling' link
4. Pick your preferred colleges and engineering branches
5. Arrange them in the order you want them most
6. Save your list and hit submit before the deadline

Here is a small tip. Before you start ranking colleges, check the revised seat matrix and fee structure that COMEDK has released. This will help you make choices that actually match reality, not just wishful thinking.

Why Your Preference Order Matters

The order in which you list your choices plays a big role in what you get allotted. COMEDK looks at your merit rank, your filled preferences, and seat availability to decide your allotment. So if your dream college is not at the top of your list, you might miss it even if you had a good rank.

The good news? You can add, delete, or reorder your choices as many times as you like before the deadline. So take your time, do your research, and build a list you feel confident about.

What Happens After the Mock Round

Once the mock round ends, COMEDK will move to the actual counselling rounds. Seat allotment updates will be announced after each round, and you will need to log in to the portal to check your results.

If you get a seat allotted, remember to pay the counselling fee and report to the college before the deadline mentioned in your allotment notice. Missing this step could cost you the seat entirely.

For candidates who are still waiting on their PU Board or 10+2 supplementary results, there is a special round planned after the regular rounds. So if you fall into this category, do not worry, your chance will come.

A Quick Reality Check

The complete COMEDK 2026 counselling schedule is still pending. Only the mock round dates have been released so far. Keep checking the official portal for updates on further rounds, as this can change based on how many candidates participate and how quickly seats get filled.

Also, the provisional engineering seat matrix is now available. Use this to understand which colleges have how many seats before you finalise your list. It is like checking the menu before you order, you want to know what is actually available.

Final Tips Before You Log In

Take your time to actually think through your choices rather than rushing at the last minute. Preferences you set casually today could shape where you spend the next four years of your life. So treat this mock round seriously, even though it is just practice.

Double check your login credentials, keep your application number handy, and make sure you have a stable internet connection when you sit down to fill your choices. Small things like these can save you a lot of last minute stress.
