How many seats are vacant in COMEDK Round 3 2026?

COMEDK published 19,126 engineering seats as vacant at the start of Round 3, across 151 colleges, in its notification dated 14 August 2026. That is the figure printed in the document's own Total row, and every college and branch figure on this page sums to it.

Are these seats reserved by category?

No. COMEDK prints a single GM (general merit) column in this document and publishes no category split for it, so the numbers here are the whole published pool rather than a per-category entitlement. Anyone claiming a category-wise COMEDK vacancy breakdown for Round 3 is not reading this notification.

Will the vacancy list change during Round 3?

Yes — this is a snapshot dated 14 August 2026, taken when choice filling opened. Seats move as candidates cancel and as colleges revise intake: COMEDK's own note on the document records that E061 ADDED seats in Round 3. Treat it as the pool your choices are ranked against, not a guarantee at allotment.

Is COMEDK Round 3 choice filling still open?

No. Choice filling and editing ran 14 August 2026 3:00 PM to 16 August 2026 2:00 PM and has closed, per COMEDK’s own Round-3 schedule. The allotment result, decision making and fee payment run 18 August 4:00 PM to 21 August 4:00 PM, reporting at the college is by 24 August 12:00 noon, and seat cancellation runs 18 August 4:00 PM to 24 August 3:00 PM.

The Round-3 allotment result is out — where is it?

COMEDK notified two documents on 18 August 2026: “Engineering — Cut-off Ranks after Round 3 Allotment” and “Engineering — Vacant Seats after Round 3 Allotment”. Both are linked from comedk.org’s homepage. The cut-off file is the one that tells you where each branch actually closed in Round 3; the vacancy file is what remained afterwards, and it supersedes the start-of-round pool listed on this page.

Does a large vacancy mean the seat is easy to get?

It means the seat was unfilled after two rounds, which generally loosens closing ranks — but allotment still runs on merit against everyone who lists it. The useful pairing is this list with the round-wise closing ranks: vacancy tells you what exists, the cut-off tells you where it closed.
