In another blog article titled: COMEDK UGET Exam Pattern, Papers & Books I would provide you the prep material for this very important entrance exam. But for now, let us learn what is COMEDK UGET.
What is COMEDK UGET?
COMEDK (Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka) is a forum of unaided private Medical, Dental, Engineering & Architecture institutes in Karnataka, which organizes entrance exams for these institutes every year for its undergraduate programs (called UGET: Under-Graduate Entrance Test) and postgraduate programs (called PGET: Post-Graduate Entrance Test).
While UGET is held in the month of May, PGET is held in the month of January end/ February beginning. In UGET 2013, 203 COMEDK institutes (12 Medical, 25 Dental, 150 Engineering colleges) are going to participate. Seats on offer through UGET 2013 is approximately 20,000.
In size and scale, COMEDK UGET is just next to another entrance exam in Karnataka called CET (Common Entrance Test), Karnataka – where close to 300 institutes participates (in CET-2009: 33 Medical, 39 Dental, 154 Engineering, 57 Ayurvedic, 10 Homeopathy, 4 Unani and, 4 Naturopathy/Yoga participated).
The difference is while COMEDK UGET is purely for unaided private institutes, CET, Karnataka is mainly for Govt-run institutes, where private (aided/unaided) institutes also participates. But if you have not studied in Karnataka or if either of your parent's mother tongue is not Kannada, you can not appear in CET, Karnataka.
On the other hand admission through COMEDK UGET is open to all the students across the country. SC/ST/OBC candidates of Karnataka however get relaxations in minimum qualifying %ages as the UGET eligibility below would show.
