KEAM 2025 Engineering Rank List Still Awaited; Fresh Applications Open for B.Arch

The release of the KEAM 2025 Engineering Rank List continues to be delayed, causing anxiety among Engineering Admission Kerala aspirants. Meanwhile, CEE Kerala has opened fresh applications for B.Arch and Medical & Medical Allied courses, with a deadline of June 23, 2025. Candidates are urged to check cee.kerala.gov.in for the latest updates on the Kerala Entrance Exam and subsequent KEAM Counselling.

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has yet to release the highly anticipated KEAM 2025 Engineering Rank List, leading to continued uncertainty for thousands of aspiring engineers. Originally expected by June 10, the publication of the KEAM Engineering Rank List has been held up, primarily due to extensions provided for candidates to submit and verify their Plus Two (Class 12) marks. This delay directly impacts the subsequent KEAM Counselling and Engineering Admission Kerala process.

While engineering aspirants await this crucial list, CEE Kerala has announced the re-opening of fresh applications for admission to Architecture (B.Arch) and Medical & Medical Allied courses (including MBBS & BDS). This move offers a window for new candidates who had not previously applied under KEAM 2025, or for existing applicants who wish to add these courses to their profile. The deadline for these fresh applications and course additions is June 23, 2025. All candidates are advised to keep a close watch on the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, for the earliest updates on the KEAM Engineering Rank List and subsequent counselling schedule.

Understanding the Delay and Its Impact on Engineering Aspirants

The KEAM 2025 Engineering Rank List is meticulously prepared by giving equal 50:50 weightage to the normalized scores obtained in the KEAM Engineering Entrance Examination and the marks secured in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or equivalent subjects) in the Class 12 or equivalent qualifying examination. The delay in the KEAM Engineering Rank List can be attributed to the extended deadlines provided by CEE Kerala for candidates to submit and rectify their Class 12 marks, with the verification process reportedly concluding around June 12.

• Uncertainty for Engineering Admission: The ongoing delay creates anxiety among candidates as they cannot plan their Engineering Admission Kerala options effectively without knowing their ranks. This affects their decisions regarding other entrance exams and admission processes.
• Impact on Counselling Schedule: The Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) for KEAM Counselling can only commence once the KEAM Engineering Rank List is published. Any further delay in the rank list will inevitably push back the counselling and seat allotment dates for Engineering Admission.
• Preparation for Next Steps: Despite the delay, candidates should stay prepared. Once the rank list is out, the KEAM Counselling dates will be announced promptly. This will involve option registration, which is a critical step for securing seats in their preferred engineering colleges across Kerala.

Aspirants are advised to utilize this waiting period to research participating colleges, understand cut-off trends, and prepare their list of preferred courses and institutions for when the KEAM Counselling portal opens.

Fresh Applications for B.Arch and Medical Courses: A New Window

In parallel to the delay in the KEAM Engineering Rank List, CEE Kerala has provided a significant update for those interested in Architecture and Medical & Medical Allied courses.

• Eligibility for B.Arch: Candidates aspiring for B.Arch courses must have qualified in the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) conducted by the Council of Architecture. The KEAM Architecture Rank List will be prepared by giving equal weightage to NATA scores and Class 12 marks.
• Eligibility for Medical & Allied Courses: For Medical and Medical Allied courses, candidates must have qualified in NEET-UG 2025.
• Application Process: Candidates who have not yet submitted an application under KEAM 2025 for these specific courses can now register afresh. Existing applicants for other courses (like Engineering/Pharmacy) also have the facility to add B.Arch, Medical & Medical Allied courses to their current application.
• Crucial Deadline: The last date for submitting these fresh applications or adding courses is June 23, 2025. It is imperative for eligible candidates to act swiftly and complete the application process on cee.kerala.gov.in before this deadline. This window is crucial for expanding their Engineering Admission or medical pursuit opportunities.

This separate application window aims to ensure that all eligible candidates have a fair chance at various professional courses even as the KEAM Engineering Rank List is being finalized.

Looking Ahead: KEAM Counselling and Admission Process

Once the KEAM 2025 Engineering Rank List is finally released, the focus will entirely shift to the Centralised Allotment Process (KEAM CAP Counselling). This multi-stage process is vital for securing Engineering Admission Kerala through the Kerala Entrance Exam.

• Option Registration: Candidates will be required to register their options (colleges and courses) online, based on their ranks and preferences. This step is crucial, as seats are allotted strictly based on rank, options filled, and availability.
• Trial Allotment: CEE typically conducts a trial allotment to give candidates an idea of their probable seat allocation based on their current options, allowing them to make necessary changes before the final option locking.
• Seat Allotment & Fee Payment: After option locking, the provisional and final seat allotment results will be published. Allotted candidates will then need to pay the prescribed fee to confirm their admission.
• Physical Reporting: The final step involves physically reporting to the allotted college for document verification and completion of admission formalities.

It is paramount for all candidates to regularly monitor the official CEE Kerala website, cee.kerala.gov.in, for all announcements related to the rank list and counselling schedule. Missing any deadline in the KEAM Counselling process can lead to forfeiture of admission.
