BENGALURU: The counselling for undergraduate engineering seats under COMEDK (Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka), which was scheduled to begin on Friday, has been postponed again due to the delay in announcement of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2017 results.
A communication from COMEDK says, the counselling will start on June 12. The registration for the first round of online counselling will commence on June 12 and the option entry process will be held between June 12 and June 20.
Considering the interests of candidates, COMEDK had to postpone the counselling twice. We are trying to avoid inconvenience to students as they will be forced to opt for engineering seats if we start counselling before NEET results are announced, a COMEDK official said.
