COMEDK candidates seek postponement of exam amid India Pak tensions

As tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, a growing number of students set to take the COMEDK UGET 2025 exam have expressed concerns over their safety and focus. The Consortium of Medical, Engineering, and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) is facing mounting pressure as candidates urge them to reconsider the exam schedule. Students argue that the current geopolitical climate hinders their ability to prepare effectively, adding undue stress to an already challenging period. The call for postponement has gained traction on social media, with candidates highlighting the unpredictability of cross-border situations. Many students reside in border areas where tensions are most palpable, raising fears about potential disruptions. They emphasize that a delay would not only enhance their safety but also ensure a level playing field for all aspirants, allowing them to perform to the best of their abilities without external distractions. In response, COMEDK officials have acknowledged the concerns and are reportedly in discussions to assess the situation. While no decision has been made yet, the authorities are keenly monitoring developments and consulting with security experts to prioritize student welfare. The outcome remains uncertain, but students hope for a resolution that balances academic integrity with their safety and peace of mind.
