COMEDK 2025 Counselling Round 1 Extended: Revised Dates & Guidelines

The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has officially extended the deadline for Round 1 of the COMEDK UGET 2025 counselling process. The extension provides students with additional time to make decisions on important things like seat allotment and fee payment. Alongside the revised schedule, the authority has also issued important instructions for fee submission and college reporting.

The move comes after the announcement of the Round 1 seat allotment results, which were released on July 28, 2025. With the updated timeline, candidates who participated in the first round of COMEDK UGET counselling now have until August 4, 2025, to finalise their choices and complete necessary actions.

What Has Changed in COMEDK Round 1 Counselling?

The revised dates apply to three major aspects of the Round 1 process:

• Decision-making and fee payment
• Reporting to the allotted college
• Seat cancellation or withdrawal

Students now have until August 4, 2025, 11:00 AM, to confirm their decision and complete the online fee payment. Those selecting the ‘Accept and Freeze’ option must report to the respective college by 2:00 PM on the same day. The deadline for seat cancellation, in case of withdrawal, remains unchanged at 4:00 PM on August 4, 2025.

COMEDK UGET 2025 Counselling: Revised Round 1 Schedule

Below is the updated time period for all key events:

Deciding, After Seat Allotment

Students allotted a seat in Round 1 can choose from the following four options:

• Accept & Freeze – Confirm the seat and exit further rounds.
• Accept & Upgrade – Accept the current seat but remain eligible for an upgrade.
• Reject & Upgrade – Decline the seat and wait for a better allotment.
• Reject & Withdraw – Exit the counselling process entirely.

Each decision comes with specific guidelines for fee payment and reporting, particularly for those choosing to accept and freeze their seats.

Fee Payment Guidelines

The Consortium has also mentioned the important rules related to fee payment:

• Full Fee Payment must be done: Candidates selecting 'Accept & Freeze', 'Accept & Upgrade', or 'Reject & Upgrade' must pay the entire tuition fee to proceed.
• Reporting Mandate for ‘Accept & Freeze’: Only those opting to freeze their seats are required to report in person to the allotted college.
• Non-Compliance May Lead to Seat Forfeiture: Failure to report by the deadline will result in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.

Reporting Instructions

Students who choose to freeze their seats must report to their allotted college by 2:00 PM on August 4, 2025. It is very important to verify the working hours of the institution, especially if the reporting day falls on a Saturday or public holiday. Each institution may have its own reporting window, and candidates are advised to confirm this in advance.

In-person reporting is compulsory and cannot be completed online. Carrying all the required documents in original, along with the fee payment receipt, is mandatory at the time of reporting.

Key Takeaways

• COMEDK UGET 2025 Round 1 counselling deadlines have been extended to August 4.
• Fee payment and reporting guidelines vary depending on the decision made by the candidate.
• Timely compliance is essential to retain the allotted seat.
