Why should I take the KEAM mock tests?

While preparing for the KEAM exam, it is imperative to engage in mock tests to gain a better grasp of the exam pattern and enhance speed and accuracy. In addition to mock tests, practising previous years' question papers and sample papers is vital. Analysing previous years' question papers provides valuable insights into the question types expected in the KEAM exam. Through the systematic completion of various sample papers, question papers, and mock tests, students can pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses for targeted improvement.

What is KEAM computer-based test?

KEAM computer-based test (CBT) is an examination administered and taken on a computer or a computerised device. Test questions and answer options are presented on a computer screen, and the candidate responds using input devices such as a mouse or keyboard. The exam is timed, requiring candidates to complete the test within the specified duration. The transition of KEAM exam from traditional pen-and-paper formats to computer-based formats has been accelerated by the widespread adoption of technology and its efficiency, impacting entrance exams and certification processes.

What is the benefit of KEAM CBT test as compared to pen and paper based test?

KEAM CBT is much more efficient as compared to the offline exam. The post-examination process takes less time like answer key release and result declaration. Until last year over three to four weeks were required to scan the OMR sheets. Now, asfter KEAM computer-based, evaluation becomes faster with the scores being made available to the candidates in the shortest time.

What is new in KEAM exam?

In 2024, KEAM transitioned form a pen and paper based test to a computer based test. The exam started to be conducted in phases, as it would not be possible to arrange over 1.2 lakh computer terminals at the same time. Since the exam is now held in shifts, normalisation of scores for engineering and pharmacy exams has been introduced. Alo the syllabus of the KEAM exam has been changed in 2024. The new revised syllabus must be downloaded from the KEAM official website and used for the exam preparation.

What is the new exam pattern of KEAM?

As per the new KEAM exam pattern, applicable from 2024 onwards - KEAM will be held in computer-based test mode and there will be one paper with three sections (maths, Physics, Chemistry) for BTech candidates and two (Physics, Chemistry) for BPharm candidates. The KEAM entrance exam for engineering courses will consist of 150 questions, with Mathematics having 75 questions, Physics having 45 questions and Chemistry having 30 questions. Candidates will have 180 minutes to complete the exam. For candidates appearing for KEAM BPharm ONLY, the entrance exam will have 45 questions in Physics and 30 questions in Chemistry, to be completed within 90 minutes. Each correct answer will fetch candidates four marks, while every incorrect answer will result in a deduction of one mark. Until 2023, KEAM was held in pen and paper based test format. There were 2 papers - paper 1 was Physics and Chemistry and the paper 2 was Maths. Each question carried 4 marks and any wrong attempt led to -1 marking. Each paper has 120 questions and carried 480 marks in total. The time duration for each paper was 150 minutes.

KEAM 2025 Result and Rank List

DeskCalendar Result: 26 Jun '25

KEAM 2025 result are published as rank lists. KEAM rank lists are published by the CEE separately for all courses - Engineering Courses, Architecture Course, Medical and Medical Allied courses (except BAMS), BAMS Course, and BPharm Course.

KEAM 2025 Rank List for Engineering

KEAM Engineering and Pharmacy Entrance Examinations 2025 is 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 300 is normalized. The procedure for Normalisation has been approved by the Normalisation Committee. The Index Mark after Normalisation will be 300.

An equal weightage of 50:50 shall be given to the normalised score obtained in the KEAM Engineering exam 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.
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.
The final year marks of the qualifying examination of each subject Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry/Computer Science/Biotechnology/Biology of the students who have passed the subject, received from the respective Boards, shall be transformed out of 100. The marks of the three subjects shall be computed out of 300 after effecting standardization in each subject.
The normalized score obtained by the candidate in the Engineering Entrance Examination shall be computed out of 300 and added to the total standardized marks of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry/Computer Science/Biotechnology/Biology as the case may be, of the final year of the Qualifying Examination, computed out of 300, both corrected to four places of decimals. The rank list for Engineering Courses shall be prepared based on the total marks obtained out of an Index mark of 600, computed as above.

KEAM 2025 Rank List for BPharm

The rank list for Admission to the BPharm Course will be prepared on the basis of index marks calculated as follows:

The raw score of Chemistry obtained from the Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination will be multiplied by 2.25 and added to the Physics raw score obtained from the Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination.
The sum so obtained will be multiplied by a factor 2/3 to calculate the index mark. The so obtained index score will be normalized (as per the normalization procedure for ranking the candidates for the BPharm course. The maximum index score will be 300.

KEAM Rank List 2025 for Medical & Allied and Ayurveda

To qualify and thereby become eligible to be included in the KEAM 2025 rank list for MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS/BSMS/BUMS courses, it shall be necessary for a candidate to obtain a minimum 50th percentile in NEET (UG) 2025. However, for SC/ST/SEBC, the minimum marks shall be 40th percentile. For candidates in the Persons with Disability category, the minimum marks shall be 45th percentile for the unreserved category and 40th percentile for the SC/ST/SEBC category.

KEAM Rank List for Architecture

The rank list shall be prepared by giving equal weightage to the score obtained in the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) and to the marks/grades obtained in the Qualifying Examination by the candidate (As per guidelines of the Council of Architecture, India).
