COMEDK 2026 exam pattern, timing and scoring
The official pattern lists 60 MCQs each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics — 180 questions total . The marking scheme is +1 for every correct answer and no negative marking . The CBT interface allows section shuffling and a "mark-for-review" option; any saved answer is considered for evaluation.

COMEDK 2026 exam: documents, reporting time and entry rules
You must carry the printed Online Test Admission Ticket (TAT), the original Unique Photo ID that matches your application, and two recent passport-size colour photographs for attendance. Biometric recording and an electronic photo capture are mandatory at registration.
Officials recommend you report to the test centre 90 minutes before the scheduled start to complete verification. Entry is strictly prohibited after the reporting time printed on your TAT under any circumstance, so plan travel with extra buffer for traffic.
What to leave at home
Prohibited items include smartwatches, calculators, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices and any textual material. Centres do not provide secure storage; avoid bringing valuables.
Multi-shift fairness, mock tests and last-minute strategy
Because the exam runs in multiple shifts, the authority applies a normalization process to ensure fairness across varying difficulty levels. Focus on attempting all questions since there is no penalty for wrong answers.
Official mock tests are available on the COMEDK website — use them to familiarise yourself with the "Save & Next", "Mark for Review" and question palette. The CBT supports rapid navigation; practice will reduce time lost on the real day.
Technical contingency and centre protocols
COMEDK has buffer systems and contingency protocols at test centres. If you experience a freeze or hardware issue, notify staff immediately; an alternate system will be provided and the server records any lost time for adjustment. Follow invigilator instructions for smooth resolution.
Officials stress compliance with the printed TAT and original ID at registration. Keep your documents and photos ready the night before and reach the centre early to avoid disqualification for late arrival.
