NOTIFICATION
An
analysis of the result of COMEDK Under Graduate Entrance test held
on
10th of May 2015.
As
against 70,968 candidates who have applied seeking Medical UG seats, 57,885
candidates had written the test; similarly, as against 51,221 candidates
applied for Engineering UG courses, 43,981 candidates wrote the test on 10th May 2015. On the same evening,
Provisional Answer Keys were published and clarifications sought from the
candidates; accordingly, as many as 47 candidates sought certain
clarifications. Taking into consideration the advice of the Expert Committee,
which went into these clarifications, a set of Final Answer Keys was published
on 25th May 2015 and subsequently the scores
of the candidates were published on 30th
May 2015; as announced earlier, COMEDK has today made available the ranks of
the candidates who have secured qualifying marks prescribed by MCI/DCI/AICTE
and as such eligible to participate in the COMEDK Counseling process later. The
candidates can access their Ranks through their ‘Applicant log in’ ID.
2) As has been the practice, an
analysis of COMEDK Ranks has been made and it brings out certain interesting
features which are as under:
Medical/Dental
a) Of those who have taken the test seeking admission to
around 750
MBBS and an equal number of BDS seats
available in 14 Medical and
24
Dental colleges in Karnataka, 27,395 candidates (47%) have become eligible to
participate in the seat selection process of COMEDK. Of these, 7,450 (27%) are
from Karnataka and 2,747 (10%) are from Bangalore city.
b)
Of
the possible maximum of 180 marks, the actual percentage range of qualifying
marks secured by the candidates for Medical / Dental admissions varies from 96%
to 50%, the latter being the minimum required as per MCI/DCI prescriptions. As
many as little less than
1,800
candidates have secured 80% and above in the Medical UGET and similarly another
2,100 candidates have secured percentage range of 75% to 80% in the written
test. In other words, around 3,900 candidates have secured in all more than 75%
of marks in the entrance test and of whom 460 (12%) candidates are from
Karnataka.
c)
14
rank holders out of the first 100 and 115 out of the first 1000 rank holders
are from Karnataka and the rest are from other States.
d)
The
highest marks secured by a candidate are 173 out of 180 and the said candidate
is a resident of Bangalore and as many as 8 Karnataka candidates have secured
165 and above marks in the entrance test.
Engineering
a)
Of
the 43,981 candidates who wrote the Engineering Entrance Test, 21,300
candidates (48%) are from Karnataka. The highest marks secured by a candidate
are 167 out of 180 and the candidate is a resident of Bangalore. Of the first
10 rank holders, 7 are from Karnataka; likewise, of the first 100 ranks 76 and
of the first 1000 ranks 587 are from the State. It is interesting that out of
21,300
Karnataka candidates who have become
eligible to participate in the
Engineering
seat selection process of COMEDK, as many as 9,600 (45%) candidates are from
Bangalore Urban District only.
b)
The
actual percentage range of marks secured by the candidates in the entrance test
varies from little more than 90% to 45%, the latter being the percentage score
required in the plus two examinations.
However,
only 45 candidates have secured more than 80% in the
c)
The
focus of candidates in the scheme of entrance test thus appears to be more
inclined to Medicine rather than Engineering courses.
Similarly, the students hailing from
Karnataka State appear to be more inclined to pursue Engineering education.
