Tips for Maharashtra students
- COMEDK has no state restriction, so it is a common backup for Maharashtra students aiming at Bengaluru colleges.
- The May test date can clash with other entrance exams. Check it against the MHT-CET, BITSAT and JEE (Advanced) schedules once all are announced.
- There is no negative marking, so attempt every question.
