BANGALORE: Following the approval of government medical colleges by the Medical Council of India, the Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K) has decided to modify its rules to enable students to take seats in these colleges.
S. Kumar, executive secretary of the consortium, said that earlier the rules had stated that if a student forfeited his/her seat after the final round of counselling, s/he would lose the entire amount that had been paid.
“But now, after about 800 seats are available with the Karnataka Common Entrance Test Cell, we have decided that if a student gets a seat with the CET in the State, s/he can forfeit her seat with the COMED-K and lose only 10 per cent of the fee,” he said.
Students can forfeit their seats up to July 30.
Similarly, since the number of engineering seats available with the State had gone up, students could surrender their seats allocated by the COMED-K if they get a seat with the Karnataka CET, he said. The last date is September 8, Mr. Kumar said.
