KEAM Marks vs Ranks 2024: Check Normalisation Process, Know How Rank is Assigned

KEAM 2024 marks v/s ranks data can be checked here. Note that the data available here is based on the previous year trends and observations. Candidates can check the marks v/s ranks data for an idea and overview.

KEAM Marks V/S Ranks 2024

KEAM Marks V/S Ranks 2024: CEE has released the KEAM 2024 scores with the KEAM 2024 result on June 26. Note that initially, CEE has released the KEAM scores with the KEAM result 2024. This year, CEE has released the KEAM percentile scores after normalisation, as the exam was held over multiple shifts and days in CBT mode. Now that the scores are announced, CEE will soon open the KEAM candidate portal for the submission of 10+2 marks. Candidates must note that KEAM 2024 ranks will be allotted based on an equal weightage of 50:50 given to the score obtained in the KEAM 2024 Entrance Examination and the grade/marks obtained in the final year of the qualifying examination for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry put together, after effecting the standardization procedure. Therefore, candidates have to keep in mind that KEAM ranks cannot be based on just the entrance exam scores. We have given below a rough estimate of KEAM ranks based on the past few years' data. Check for an idea and do not consider these as a final prediction.

KEAM Marks V/S Ranks 2024 - Expected

Note that after the effect of the standardization process, the KEAM 2024 marks will be computed out of 600. Check below the KEAM 2024 marks v/s rank:

KEAM 2024 Normalisation Process

KEAM 2024 Engineering and Pharmacy Entrance Examinations 2024 will be conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode; hence it is required to conduct the examinations on multiple days. Each session will have a separate set of questions. To ensure that candidates are neither benefitted nor disadvantaged due to the examinations in multiple sessions, the Normalisation procedure is adopted. The total score of the Entrance Examination out of 600 is normalized. The procedure for Normalization has been approved by the Normalization Committee constituted vide G.O.(Rt)No.235/2024/H.Edn. dated.16.02.2024. The Index Mark after normalization will be 300. 

KEAM 2024 Normalization procedure based on Percentile Interpolated Average Method:

Let there be K sessions and let Ni be the number of students appearing in the ith session

Step 1: Convert raw marks of students to percentile scores for each session separately. 

Let X_ij denote the raw mark of the jth candidate in the i^th session,

i = 1,2,.....,K; j = 1, 2, .....N_i. Then the percentile score of the j^th candidate in the i^th session is calculated using the formula:

The percentile scores will be calculated up to 8 decimal places.

Step 2: Compute the interpolated scores for other sessions

Step 3: Compute the normalized marks for each student

KEAM 2024 Standardization for Calculation of BTech Ranks

The formula for standardization has been approved by the Expert Committee constituted vide G.O.(Rt)No.1758/2011/H.Edn. dated.03.11.2011: The marks secured by a student in the qualifying examination from any Board will be standardized with respect to the statistical parameters such as Global Mean and Global Standard Deviation.

Subject to be considered for KEAM 2024 Engineering Ranking

The subjects of the qualifying examination considered for the computation of marks for ranking shall be Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The marks of the concerned subject out of hundred or an equivalent mark out of hundred, as given in the final year mark list of the Qualifying Examination of any plus two streams shall be considered.

In case, the candidate has not studied Chemistry, the marks obtained in Computer Science shall be considered. In case, the candidate has not studied Chemistry and Computer Science, the marks obtained in Biotechnology shall be considered. In case, the candidate has not studied Chemistry, Computer Science and Biotechnology, the marks obtained in Biology shall be considered.

KEAM 2024 cutoff marks: Qualifying Marks

To be able to appear in the KEAM rank list for admission, candidates must get the following minimum marks in the KEAM exam:

How is the KEAM 2024 Result Prepared?

KEAM 2024 result is compiled in 2 ways:

1. KEAM 2024 scorecard: The scorecard is made available under the respective logins of the candidates on the official website. In the scorecard, candidates can check their marks in the KEAM 2024 exam. The marks are given subject-wise and in total.
2. KEAM 2024 rank list: The KEAM rank list is prepared based on marks of qualifying exam marks and KEAM 2024 marks. The weightage of the qualifying exam marks and KEAM marks varies for rank lists PDF for Engineering, Architecture, BPharm, MBBS/BDS/BHMS/BSMS/BUMS/Agriculture/Forestry/ Veterinary /Co-operation & Banking/ Climate Change & Environmental Science/ B.Tech Biotechnology (under KAU)/ Fisheries and BAMS.

Tie Breaking for KEAM 2024 Rank List

If there are ties in KEAM 2024 rank list, the tie shall be resolved as per the rules mentioned below:

Engineering: In the case of a tie in the total index marks computed after integrating the total normalized score of the entrance examination with the total standardized score for the preparation of the engineering rank, then

• Candidates with a higher pre-normalized score in Mathematics in KEAM will be placed higher in the ranking.
• If the tie still exists, the candidate with a higher pre-normalized score in Physics of the KEAM Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
• If there is still a tie, a candidate with higher standardized marks in Mathematics in the final year of the qualifying examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
• If the tie persists, the candidate with higher standardized marks in Physics in the final year of the qualifying examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
• If the tie is still not resolved, the candidate with a correct higher number of responses in Mathematics will be considered.
• If the tie persists candidate with the correct higher number of responses in Physics will be considered.
• If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be considered, and the older will be placed higher in the ranking.
• In case the tie remains, the decision of CEE will be final. 

BPharm:  In the case of a tie in the total normalised marks computed for the preparation of the BPharm rank list, then

• The candidate with the higher pre-normalized score in Chemistry in the KEAM Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
• The tie is still not resolved, the higher pre-normalized score in Physics in the KEAM Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
• If the tie is still not resolved, the candidate with the correct higher number of responses in Chemistry in the KEAM Entrance Examination will be considered.
• If the tie persists, the candidate with the correct higher number of responses in Physics will be considered.
• If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be considered, and the older will be placed higher in the ranking.
• If the tie remains, the decision of CEE will be final.
