UGET 2026 Registrations Progress Steadily for May 9 Examination

With the COMEDK UGET 2026 exam date set for May 9, students are actively registering on the official portal to secure seats in Karnataka's top private engineering colleges.

As of today, February 24, 2026, the Registration process for the COMEDK UGET 2026 is moving forward at a steady pace. Since the window opened earlier this month, thousands of engineering aspirants from across the country have already submitted their forms. The Consortium of Medical, Engineering, and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has confirmed that the Undergraduate Entrance Test (UGET) will be conducted on May 9, 2026. This national-level exam is a vital gateway for students who want to study in over 150 private engineering colleges in Karnataka. With the official closing date for the portal being March 16, candidates have just about three weeks left to finalize their details.

The authorities have noted that students are showing a high interest in this year's computer-based test, especially with the introduction of 181 exam centers nationwide. Because the Examination is held once a year, the pressure is high on students to ensure their data is accurate. The COMEDK UGET 2026 portal is seeing high traffic during evening hours, prompting officials to remind students that test cities are allotted on a "first-come, first-served" basis. This means those who wait until the last minute might not get an exam center in their home city and may have to travel long distances.
