I honestly wanted to do MBBS course. Many medical colleges also come under COMEDK. I gave an entrance exam called COMEDK in the year 2014 in the city Bengaluru. Then my name was listed for the counselling. I went for the counselling and there were many other colleges too. I wanted to get into some medical college but according to my rank this was not possible. I could only get a dental college as per my rank.
