Caution notice from COMED-K
by Kumaran PThe Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) has issued caution note for students registering for Under Graduate entrance test during 2020-21 academic year scheduled to be held on May 10th 2020.
Following complaints from several students about agents and touts approaching students extending assistance to register for the examinations and collecting personal data of students, COMED-K has issued an official caution notice asking students to be careful before sharing their personal details with anybody.
In the note, COMEDK management said, "This is to notify the aspiring candidates and their parents/guardians and general public that recently few websites are operating unauthorisedly using the name of COMEDK, its logo and website contents. They are trying to mislead the public by fictitiously claiming to be official COMEDK websites from where the candidates can apply to COMEDK UGET 2020. It has also come to our notice that these websites, besides collecting the personal data of candidates, are also charging the candidates for offering such help. Such websites are posing as official COMEDK website (and/or its authorised websites).
These websites are collecting the personal data of the aspiring candidates which may be misused by them in future for monetary consideration. We wish to caution the aspiring candidates and their parents/guardians and general public that COMEDK has not authorized any person or agency to offer help for registration and support for COMEDK UGET 2020 on any websites or to use the name, logo and its website contents. It is hereby made clear that COMEDK does not have any agents or touts, liaison, admission offices, representatives or any other office/s other than the office mentioned on its official website."
