Overview of COMEDK UGET 2017 Allotment Process

The Criterion Online Medical Entrance Test (COMEDK) University EngineeringTechnology Group Entrance Exam (UGET) 2017 was a pivotal event for many aspiring engineering students across India. The process involved a series of rounds, each bringing its own set of challenges and opportunities.

Understanding the Allotment Process

As an experienced participant in the UGET 2017 process, I can provide a thorough understanding of how the allotment works. The initial application was primarily online, eliminating the need for physical visits as in previous years. This move towards digital application streamlined the process and likely led to a higher overall enrollment due to reduced barriers.

Forced Realizations and Expertise

During the process, I observed that students from Bangalore had a distinct advantage due to the proximity to their preferred colleges. Companies often visit these areas, offering excellent opportunities for internships and placements. My advice to those with lower ranks, such as students with COMEDK ranks below 20,000, is to consider Bangalore-based institutions to maximize these benefits. The strategic location can significantly enhance employment prospects and access to high-quality placements.

College Preferences and Campus Speculations

Based on my preferences and observations, here are some top choices for programs in CSE (Computer Science and Engineering), ISE (Information Science and Engineering), and ECE (Electronics and Communications Engineering) from notable institutions in Bangalore:

Top Choices for ECE

National Institute of Engineering (NIE) PES University RV College of Engineering (RVCE)

Here is a detailed list of preferred institutions and their specific departments:

RVCE - CSE, ISE, ECE BMS - CSE, ISE, ECE MSRIT - CSE, ISE, ECE SJCE - CSE, ISE, ECE Nitte Meenakshi - CSE, ISE, ECE PESIT - CSE, ISE, ECE BMSIT - CSE, ISE, ECE DSCE - CSE, ISE, ECE AIT - CSE, ISE, ECE MVIT - CSE, ISE, ECE RNSIT - CSE, ISE, ECE Nitte Meenakshi - CSE, ISE, ECE NMAMIT Karkala - IT, CSE, ECE

Mock Allotment and Real Allotment Experience

My COMEDK rank stood at 4171 with 111/180 marks. In the first mock allotment on May 21, 2017, I was not allotted any college, a common scenario due to many students not accepting their initial allocations. I then revised my preferences to include the ECE branch, hoping to secure a place.

After the revised mock allotment and the first round of real allotment, I received a placement at the National Institute of Engineering in Mysore for the Information Science and Engineering (ISE) program. This outcome was more favorable than my initial hopes and indicates the value of revising preferences based on mock allotment feedback.

Future Tips and Advice for Aspirants

For future COMEDK UGET aspirants, here are a few pieces of advice:

Stay informed about the latest changes and updates to the application process. Consider the strategic location of your chosen colleges and the associated opportunities. Revise your preferences based on mock allotment results to ensure better chances of securing a good college.

Remember, the key to successful college selection is thorough research, understanding the dynamics of the allotment process, and being flexible with your preferences.

Good luck to all the students who are preparing for the COMEDK UGET in the coming years!
