The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka, COMEDK, takes the Undergraduate Entrance Test 2026, which is a 4-step merit process to provide specific ranks when two or more candidates score the same marks.

• In step 1, candidates with fewer incorrect answers across physics, mathematics and chemistry are given higher rank priority in COMEDK 2026.
• If the tie continues, then step 2 is followed in which the candidate with the higher combined score of physics and mathematics in COMEDK UGET 2026 is considered.
• Mathematics marks are used in step 3 of the COMEDK 2026 tie-breaking process since mathematics has the highest weightage in COMEDK's rank calculation.
• If the tie still remains, then in step 4 the older candidate is awarded the higher rank based on the date of birth provided at the registration process.

COMEDK 2026 TIE-BREAKING RULES : ALL STEPS EXPLAINED

The COMEDK tie-breaking process is officially known as the inter-se merit process and is applied after score normalisation in COMEDK UGET 2026. 

• Each stage of the COMEDK 2026 inter-se merit process is used only if the previous step fails to break the tie between the candidates.
• Even though COMEDK has no negative marking, candidates with fewer incorrect answers receive higher rank priority during tie breaking.
• Candidates who guessed more questions incorrectly may lose rank advantage even after scoring the same total marks as another student.
• Mathematics carries the highest weight in the COMEDK 2026 tie-breaking process because it happens in both Step 2 and Step 3.
• The age criterion is rarely used in practice and acts as the final stage of the COMEDK inter-se merit process.
