12 Medical and 20 Dental Colleges who are members of the association admit students for post-graduate programs through PGET-2016. COMEDK has engaged the services of ERA Foundation to conduct PGET-2016. ERA Foundation is a not-for-profit company registered under Section-25 of the Companies Act. It is established with the objective of setting up a common platform for assessment of students for admission to Private/Deemed Universities and Institutions providing higher education in India. ERA Foundation conducts Uni-GAUGE PGMD for admission to post-graduate programs in medical and dental universities.
With the partnership between COMEDK and ERA Foundation, the students seeking admission to post graduate studies in Medical and Dental courses for the academic year 2016-17 can write one examination and either appear for counseling for admission conducted by COMEDK for its member institutions or apply directly to the Private/Deemed Universities that accept Uni-GAUGE scores.
