KEAM 2026 Revised Final Answer Key Released; Results Expected by May 10
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) Kerala has officially released the revised final answer key for the KEAM 2026 Engineering and Pharmacy entrance examinations. Students who appeared for the exam can now access the updated answer key and their response sheets through the official portal.
The KEAM 2026 result is expected to be announced on or before May 10, 2026, while the rank list is likely to be published by June 20, 2026. KEAM remains one of Kerala’s most important entrance examinations for admission to engineering, pharmacy, architecture, medical, and allied professional courses.
Candidates can check the revised final answer key by visiting the CEE Kerala Official Website and logging in using their application number and password.
The KEAM 2026 examination was conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode across multiple sessions in April 2026. After the provisional answer key was released, candidates were given an opportunity to raise objections and report discrepancies. Following expert review and student feedback, CEE Kerala has now issued the revised final answer key.
According to official updates, answers to six questions across different subjects have been revised after discrepancies were found in the earlier key. Additionally, 28 questions have been completely removed from the evaluation process because of technical issues or ambiguities. These changes have been made to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation process for all candidates.
Students can also view their recorded responses through the candidate login portal. By comparing their answers with the revised final answer key, candidates can estimate their expected scores before the official result declaration.
