Warning for COMEDK Aspirants Travelling Long Distance

Many people ignored this post last year and suffered.

Comedk has released dates for Round-3 and Round-4. It is a no-brainer to wait till the last round to get the best seat possible, the cutoffs drop a lot in the last round. Comedk admissions are taken by mostly non-Karnataka students. Most of you will be travelling from far.

This is a very important blunder a lot of people do. I will suggest you all to not to book immediate tickets (especially flight) for reporting. You can lose a lot of money.

Comedk has delayed results for Round-3 (Round-4 this year), more frequently than BMTC buses.

(This is a reference to last year)

If you book a flight ticket for say 2nd September, and the results get delayed by only 3 days. You will have to stay in Bangalore for 3 days extra. One day in Bangalore costs 3-4k (2k hotel + 1k food). So you just lost 12k.

You can neither search for PG nor you can get hostel without the admission letter and college confirmation in that time. If you book immediate return tickets say 2 days after, 4th September? you will have to cancel them too.

Just book the tickets smartly, especially flights. If you are booking train tickets, will recommend you to book an extra ticket one week after the proposed date, like 2nd September and 7th September. Train tickets are cheap to cancel.

I literally talked to a person who lost 30k (2 return tickets) due to the delay.

Anyways upvote if you found this useful.
