The KEAM Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) is a complete online Single Window System (SWS) to give allotments to the various courses and colleges under the Engineering / Architecture / Pharmacy / Medical streams in the state, based on the options submitted by the candidates. The KEAM CAP is strictly based on the options exercised, the rank obtained and the applicable reservations of the candidate.

Candidates can check the process of KEAM counselling process below:

KEAM Counselling 2025 Option Registration

KEAM 2025 options can be registered only through the website, cee.kerala.gov.in. Candidates will have to register their options in a single stream or multiple streams (based on their eligibility) in the ‘Option Registration Page’ accessible through the KEAM 2025 candidate portal. Candidates have to register their options for courses and colleges in the order of priority. Options submitted to the CEE by Fax, Post, Hand delivery etc., will not be processed or considered on any account for allotment of seats.

KEAM Counselling 2025 Trial Allotments

KEAM trial allotments help the candidates understand whether they can get the college and course of their choice in CAP.  CEE will conduct the trial allotment before the closure of the time fixed for registering options during the 1st Phase of allotment to give an idea about the chances of getting allotment to a course and college based on options and rank of the candidate. The trial Allotment does not guarantee that the candidate will get an allotment in a college or course.

KEAM Counselling 2025 Seat Allotments

After the period earmarked for registering options, KEAM counselling seat allotment for all courses is published on the website, cee.kerala.gov.in, on the date notified by the CEE. The allotment memo, the printout of which can be taken from the website, will show the college to which the candidate is allotted and the fee to be remitted for the course allotted. Necessary notifications in this regard are also issued by CEE.  

KEAM 2025 Counselling Payment of Seat Confirmation Fee

The fee prescribed in the KEAM counselling 2025 seat allotment will have to be remitted by the candidate at the colleges allotted as per the notification issued by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations in this regard. If candidates who are instructed to join a course based on allotment do not remit the fee and join the college/course, they will lose their allotment as well as all the existing options in the stream to which the allotment belongs. The options once lost will not be available in the subsequent phases.

KEAM 2025 Counselling Final Admission

Candidates allotted to courses, and who remit the fee as prescribed, should be admitted to the college allotted as per the schedule prescribed by the CEE. Candidates who do not take admission will lose their KEAM counselling allotment as well as all the existing options in the stream to which the allotment belongs. The options once lost will not be available in the subsequent phases. The candidates are liable to pay the admission fee as prescribed by the University concerned at the time of admission.

Check some important rules for KEAM option registration:

• Candidates can register all the available options if they desire to. However, the candidates don't need to exercise all the options.
• A candidate will not be allotted a seat in a course of a college if they have not opted for the course-college combination during the option registration process of CAP-2025.
• A candidate is bound to accept an allotment as per the priority registered in the Options list and they have to surrender the seat already occupied by them, if they are allotted based on options furnished against arising/future vacancies. Request to retain the existing admission after an allotment is made, based on the option registered, will not be considered under any circumstances.
• Failure to report for admission in the allotted institution, after remitting the required fee within the stipulated time will result in the forfeiture of his/her allotment to that course and cancellation of all the existing options in the stream to which that allotment belongs.
• For each phase of CAP 2025 after the initial phase, confirmation of the higher order options by logging in to the Option Registration Page and clicking the ‘confirm’ button is mandatory to participate in that phase of allotment even if no cancellation/rearrangement of options is desired. Non-confirmation of higher-order options for a particular phase of CAP will lead to the automatic deletion of higher-order options belonging to the course(s) included in that phase, making them unavailable for the subsequent phases.
