COMEDK 2026 Round 1: 8,454+ Seats Still Vacant — Here's What You Need to Do Right Now
The Round 1 seat allotment for the COMEDK UGET 2026 is out. It bears good news for students as over 8,454 B.tech seats across Karnataka’s private engineering colleges are still vacant. If you’ve been allotted a seat or are waiting for one, the next few days are a high priority.
Here's exactly where things stand and what to do before the deadlines close.
Key Dates You Cannot Miss
Miss the July 31 confirmation window, and you risk losing your allotted seat entirely; there's no extension for latecomers.
If You Got a Seat: Confirm It First, Ask Questions Later
A seat in hand is worth more than a "maybe better" seat in Round 2. Log in to comedk.org, download your allotment letter, pay the confirmation fee, and lock it in before July 31. You can still explore an upgrade in later rounds if you're eligible but only if you've confirmed Round 1 first.
If You Didn't Get a Seat (or Skipped Round 1): You're Not Out
Since there are thousands of seats available, Round 2 is the real opportunity. You get to choose from colleges and branches that weren’t filled up in Round 1. This is the round where students get into colleges they didn’t expect because competition is very less. You have to be careful though, Round 2 choice filling has much narrower windows and stricter document checks, missing a step here costs you the entire round.
Common Mistakes Students Make Right Now
Waiting too long to decide — seat confirmation windows are short and non-negotiable
Not checking category-wise and college-wise vacant seat matrix before Round 2 choice filling
Assuming a "lower" branch now means a locked-in future — many students upgrade in Round 2/3 once they've secured a seat
Missing document verification deadlines, which disqualifies you from the round entirely
