Yash Singhal says one must focus on clearing the entrance exam like COMEDK with high scores to get admission in their dream without any quota.

COMEDK is one of the most important entrance exams for admission in the colleges in the state of Karnataka. Many students often think about is there is any backdoor to get admission in these colleges. In this article, we will discuss these options or backdoors to get admission in these state-governed affiliated through this exam for other/ preferred students.

The student who fulfils the eligibility criteria could get admission in various colleges of Karnataka through COMEDK. The other thing that students might not know is that they could get admission in the same college through different exams and quotas.

In the admission through the quota, other students would get preference over the deserving candidates and the deserving candidates would be forced to get out of this admission race.

In the COMEDK exam, apart from the reserved classes’ quota, there is an additional reservation for linguistic minorities which is also in the colleges accepting admission through COMEDK. The linguistic minorities are the Tamil, Tulu and Telugu students from the integrated regions of Karnataka -Hyderabad (HK).

It is not considered a problem for open/ general category students, as they are used to deal with such a situation. In the state governed colleges, one could expect to get admission, however, the situation is worse when it comes to the private colleges. In all the private colleges, a certain number of seats is reserved under the management quota and these seats could vary from 10% to 50% of the total seats under this quota. The seats are limited, however, the students appearing for these courses are too high. The price for each management seat is high, therefore, it becomes difficult or impossible for a student from a middle-class background to get admission in their dream college or their desired course.

Also, at the time of counselling for this exam, if the score and other things of two students are the same then the preference is given to the state students only. Hence, students must focus on clearing the entrance exam like COMEDK with high scores to get admission without any quota.
