COMEDK UGET 2025: A Big Exam Postponement Due to India-Pakistan Tensions
Wow. Thousands of students are facing a major headache right now. The COMEDK UGET 2025 exam, set for May 10th, has been postponed in 12 cities because of the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Seriously, who saw *that* coming? This is a huge deal for anyone hoping to get into a top engineering college in Karnataka.
What Happened to the COMEDK Exam?
The COMEDK UGET 2025 was supposed to run in three shifts across India – you know, the usual early bird, afternoon, and evening slots. But because of the security concerns – and honestly, it's pretty understandable given the circumstances – the whole thing got postponed in a bunch of cities.
This exam is a huge gatekeeper for engineering colleges in Karnataka, so this postponement is a major disruption for a lot of students. It’s not just a minor inconvenience; it’s messing with people's futures.
The cities affected are:
- Gujarat: Jamnagar
- Haryana: Ambala
- Jammu and Kashmir: Jammu, Srinagar
- Punjab: Ludhiana, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Mohali, Patiala, Amritsar
- Rajasthan: Jodhpur, Bikaner, Sri Ganganagar
That’s a lot of students! We're talking over 3,000 who were all set to take the exam on that day. COMEDK says they'll announce new dates soon on their website (comedk.org) and unigauge.com. Fingers crossed it's soon.
For those who *weren't* in the affected areas, the exam went ahead as planned. The usual format: 180 questions (60 Physics, 60 Chemistry, 60 Math), one point for each correct answer, and no penalty for wrong ones. All in English.
Student Stress and the Official Word
Imagine the anxiety! Many students were understandably freaked out. News reports showed students worried about their safety, how this will affect their already stressful studying, and just the added pressure of the current situation. It’s a lot to handle.
Dr. S Kumar, the COMEDK Secretary, put out a statement trying to reassure everyone. They said they contacted the affected students directly, and they're working hard to reschedule as quickly as possible. They're sticking to their official websites as the only source of truth on the new dates.
It Wasn’t Just the COMEDK Exam
This wasn't the only exam impacted, unfortunately. The India-Pakistan tensions caused ripple effects across several other exams and schools. Things like the ICAI exams, HPTU's HPCET 2025, Panjab University exams, and JKSET/Ladakh SET exams were also affected. Many schools near the border in Punjab, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir were temporarily closed too – totally understandable as a precaution.
What Now?
This whole thing really shows how much geopolitical events can mess with people's lives. It’s a stressful situation, but at least the authorities are working to make things right. For those affected students, keep checking the COMEDK website for updates – that's the most important thing. This just goes to show how unpredictable life can be sometimes, and how important flexibility and understanding are during uncertain times.
Download Your Admit Card (If You Still Need To!)
If your exam *wasn't* postponed, you can still download your COMEDK admit card from comedk.org until May 10th, 2025. For those affected, just hang tight and wait for the official announcement of the rescheduled dates.
