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. Â

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
