If you're one of the thousands of students waiting for COMEDK UGET 2026 counselling, today is a big day. The mock round choice filling has begun, and it's your first real shot at telling the system which colleges and branches you dream of getting into.
Think of the mock round as a practice run before the actual game. You fill in your choices, COMEDK runs a trial seat allotment, and you get a sense of where you might land. No admission is confirmed here, but it gives you a clear picture of your chances before the real rounds begin.
What's Happening Right Now
The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka opened the choice filling window today, July 11, at 4 PM. Candidates who cleared registration and document verification can log in and start selecting their preferences. The window stays open till 4 PM on July 13, so you have a couple of days to think this through, not just a few rushed hours.
Along with this, COMEDK has already released the provisional engineering seat matrix. This document lists how many seats are available in each college and branch. Check it before you start filling choices. It saves you from picking options that have barely any seats to begin with.
How to Fill Your Choices
The process is simple once you know the steps:
- Go to the official COMEDK counselling portal
- Log in with your registered User ID and password
- Click on the 'Choice Filling' link
- Pick the colleges and branches you want
- Arrange them in the order you prefer most
- Save and submit before the deadline
Here's the good part: you're not locked in after your first save. You can add new choices, remove old ones, or shuffle the order as many times as you like until the window closes. So if you spot a better option on day two, go ahead and update your list.
Why Your Order of Preference Matters
Many students treat choice filling as a formality and rush through it. That's a mistake. The order you set is exactly how the system tries to allot your seat. If your top choice has fewer seats than applicants, it makes sense to have a strong second and third option ready, not colleges you picked in a hurry.
Take an hour, sit with the seat matrix, and rank your choices based on what genuinely matters to you: location, branch, fees, or college reputation. A well-thought-out list gives you a real shot at a better seat in the actual counselling rounds, not just the mock one.
What Happens After Mock Allotment
Once the mock round choices are submitted, COMEDK will release a mock seat allotment. This is purely indicative. It shows you what could happen, not what will happen. Use this as a checkpoint. If your mock allotment doesn't match your expectations, you still have time before the real rounds to rework your preference list.
Document verification for all registered candidates is already complete, so there's no pending step blocking you from choice filling today. Registration itself closed back on June 12, so if you're reading this and haven't registered yet, you'll need to wait for a later round or the special round.
Keep These Points in Mind
- Only candidates with approved registration and verified documents can fill choices right now
- The complete counselling schedule beyond the mock round is still awaited
- After actual allotment rounds, a special round opens for candidates awaiting PU Board or supplementary exam results
- Once you get a seat allotment, paying the counselling fee and reporting to the college on time is compulsory
Missing a reporting deadline can cost you the seat entirely, so mark these dates on your calendar the moment they're announced.
A Quick Word of Advice
Counselling season can feel like a maze, especially with mock rounds, real rounds, and special rounds all in the mix. Take it one step at a time. Fill your mock choices honestly, based on where you'd genuinely want to study, not just where you think you'll get in. It's a practice round, so use it to learn the system rather than second-guessing every click.
Keep checking the official portal regularly over the next two days. Counselling updates move fast, and a missed notification could mean a missed deadline.
