As if the uncertainty surrounding NEET and the PU chemistry question paper leaks were not enough, students writing the ComedK UGET 2016, the gateway to admission to undergraduate courses in private professional colleges, are now running from pillar to post to get their hall tickets.
Their hall tickets remained elusive until Tuesday evening. The UGET is to be held on May 8, and an estimated 37,000 are slated to write it.
Distraught parents, meanwhile, rushed to the ComedK office in Malleswaram on Tuesday afternoon, and were told to go to the office of the Educational Rating and Assessment (ERA) Foundation on Lavelle Road, which has undertaken online procedures for exams this year.

Manjula Veerappa, parent of Rakshak Gowda, who will be writing the exam in the Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (Engineering) stream, was worried all through Monday, when the ComedK website kept changing the timings for the availability of the hall tickets. "I was trying to download the hall ticket for my son through Monday, but every time I logged on to the website, it asked me to get back later. When I went to the office, they made me go all the way from Malleswaram to Lavelle Road, saying the hall tickets will be available at the technical support office located there. But when I went there, they said due to some glitches, they will be able to upload them only by Tuesday evening or early Wednesday," said Manjula.
Since Saturday, only some students have received their hall tickets, while most haven't. Jayanthi Vijayakumar, mother of twin boys appearing for the PCM stream, was aghast when one of her sons got his hall ticket, but the other didn't because of an application defect. "About 4.30pm Saturday, the link was made available to download hall tickets, but for one of my sons, it showed an error in the application, which I tried to resolve but there was no option of previewing it," Jayanthi said. "After waiting at the ComedK office for over an hour, an official came to us and said there was a technical error because of which we were not able to view it, but it will be sorted out by Wednesday," said Jayanthi.
At the ERA office on Tuesday, while parents began gathering to know if their children's hall tickets would be issued at all, officials were assuring aspirants they would be put up on the website by the end of the day. "We've received 36 complaints regarding errors in hall tickets. Some students were put under the PCB (Medical) stream instead of PCM. Also, some students were able to get hall tickets and some were not. We will resolve all this by the end of the day and regenerate all hall tickets once and for all, irrespective of whether they have received them earlier or not," said an official at ERA Foundation.
"My son does not have a domicile of India because of which he cannot write the CET exam, and ComedK is his only hope to pursue engineering. We came from Gujarat for his hall ticket, and now they are making us run around from one place to another, only to learn we'll have to wait another day or so," said a frustrated parent, requesting anonymity at the office on Lavelle Road.
