Awaits releaseCOMEDK marks vs rank — 2025 reference curve
COMEDK does not publish a mark-by-mark rank table. This curve is inferred from band midpoints across the 2025 cycle and calibrated to the published topper score. Vertical axis is logarithmic — small marks differences become huge rank gaps at the top.
| Score | Indicative rank | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| 175 | ~8 | topper band |
| 150 | ~72 | top 100 |
| 125 | ~225 | RVCE-tier reach |
| 100 | ~2,419 | mid-tier private |
| 75 | ~14,500 | lower-tier private |
| 50 | ~59,000 | fringe / management quota |
Anchors: 2025 band midpoints calibrated to the published topper score. Direction-of-magnitude only — 2026 rank shifts with this year's candidate count and paper difficulty. COMEDK does not publish an official mark-by-mark list.

COMEDK counselling 2026 — 5 online stages, 1 physical step
COMEDK has no physical counselling centres. Everything — registration, document verification, choice filling, mock allotment, seat allotment — happens in the candidate's login on comedk.org. The only in-person step is reporting to the allotted college after Accept & Freeze.

Official sources, comedk.org only
Every link below is published by COMEDK itself. The score-to-rank curve and the topper anchor are not cited here because no official COMEDK document publishes those — they're inferred and flagged in-section. Aggregator references used for cross-checks during research are kept in our repo notes, not on this page.

COMEDK 2026 — common questions
The questions families have asked our counsellors most often this admission cycle. Answers reflect the official COMEDK 2026 calendar and the 2025 reference data on this page.
When will the COMEDK 2026 result be released?
COMEDK UGET 2026 rank cards are scheduled for release on 29 May 2026 at 4:00 PM IST. Candidates can download them from their candidate login on comedk.org. The final answer key precedes the rank card by about a week and is expected on 23 May 2026.
When is the COMEDK 2026 final answer key released?
The COMEDK UGET 2026 final answer key is expected on 23 May 2026 on the candidate login at comedk.org. It is the post-challenge version of the provisional key released on 16 May. Marks tally and the rank card both use this final version.
Who was the COMEDK 2025 topper and what was their score?
Shishir H Shetty was the COMEDK UGET 2025 topper, scoring 174 out of 180 to secure All India Rank 1. About 1.13 lakh candidates appeared in 2025. The topper anchor is used to calibrate the marks-to-rank curve on this page.
How is the COMEDK rank calculated?
COMEDK UGET has 60 multiple-choice questions each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, for 180 total marks. Every correct answer is +1; wrong and blank answers are 0 — there is no negative marking. Ranks are assigned on the final score, with normalised tie-breakers across exam sessions.
What rank do I need for RVCE, BMSCE or MSRIT via COMEDK in 2026?
Using 2025 Round 1 General Merit closing ranks as a guide: RVCE CSE closed at rank 307, BMSCE CSE at 2323, and MSRIT CSE at 875. ECE, AIML and AIDS branches closed at looser ranks. 2026 closing ranks will shift with this year's candidate count and paper difficulty — use the 2025 numbers as a reference, not a guarantee.
When does COMEDK 2026 counselling start?
COMEDK 2026 counselling registration is expected to open around 15 June 2026, with Round 1 seat allotment in mid-July. Registration costs 2,000 rupees. The schedule is tentative — final dates are released after the result on 29 May. All counselling stages except final reporting are 100% online on comedk.org.
How do COMEDK marks compare to rank?
Based on 2025 data: 175 marks gave roughly rank 8, 150 marks rank 95, 125 marks rank 225, 100 marks around rank 2,500, and 75 marks around rank 14,500. The relationship is logarithmic at the top — a 5-mark gap near 170 means 20+ rank places, while a 5-mark gap near 80 means thousands of places.
