The COMEDK UGET 2026 engineering entrance exam will be held on May 9, 2026, a Saturday. The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) officially announced this important date. This exam is crucial for thousands of students looking to join undergraduate engineering programs in Karnataka.
COMEDK UGET helps students get admissions into around 150 private engineering colleges across the state. The exam is conducted as a national-level computer-based test (CBT), meaning students will take the test on computers at designated centers.
Why the Date Changed
Usually, the COMEDK UGET exam takes place on the second Sunday of May every year. However, for 2026, the date was shifted to a Saturday, May 9. This change was made to avoid any clashes with other major national-level entrance examinations that might be scheduled around the same time. This ensures that more students can participate without conflict.
