KEAM 2025 Result and Rank List
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.Â
- 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.Â
KEAM Rank List 2025 for Medical & Allied and Ayurveda

Q: Â How is the KEAM result announced?
KEAM 2025 Counselling
After the announcement of KEAM results, candidates whose names appear in the rank list released by CEE can participate in the KEAM counselling process. KEAM counselling process is held in three rounds along with one mop-up round. Through KEAM counselling candidates are allotted seats based on their preferences and the availability of seats in a particular college and course. KEAM 2025 counselling is called the centralised admission process.
The counselling process includes:
- KEAM 2025 option registration
- Trial / provisional allotment
- Final KEAM allotment of seats
- Payment of admission fees at the allotted colleges and document verification
The Centralised Allotment Process will be done through the Single Window System (SWS) to give allotments to the various courses and colleges under the State's Engineering/ Architecture/ Pharmacy/Medical streams. This is a system of ‘Allotments through Online Submission of Options’. The options are the willingness of a candidate who qualified with a rank in the rank lists of KEAM-2025 to join a course-college combination prioritised as per his/her aspiration and desire.
Seats in Government/Aided/KAU/KVASU/KUFOS/government cost-sharing/ Private Self Financing/Autonomous Colleges to be allotted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations are included in the CAP. They are done as per the provisions of allotment.
Q: Â How is the KEAM counselling process held?
Q: Â What is the process of registering options in KEAM Option Registration Page?
Candidates can register KEAM option by entering the option number for a course-college combination the candidate can fix their preference numbers for the course-college combinations displayed in the Option Registration Page. Here all the eligible options of the candidate will be displayed coursewise and the candidate is expected to enter their preference number for a particular combination.
Q: Â How to complete the KEAM option registration and how can the registered options be saved/revised?
All eligible options of the candidate will be displayed on the KEAM 2023 Option Registration Page. The candidate may follow the directions given therein to register the options. The data entered may be saved regularly by clicking the ‘Save’ button, so that the data already entered is not lost due to unexpected reasons. The candidate should enter only those options in which they are interested. Candidates should also note that they will be considered for allotment only to those courses and colleges opted by them. So, a candidate who has not opted for a course-college combination will not be considered for allotment for that combination. Existing options, registered by the candidate which is available in the Option Registration Page, can be cancelled by clicking on the corresponding 'Delete' button. Changes (including deletions) made in the option list must be saved (by clicking on the SAVE button) before leaving the option registration page. All the valid options registered by the candidate will be processed. If a candidate gets allotted a particular seat, based on his/her option, he/she is bound to accept it, failing which, they will lose that 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.
Q: Â Can I rearrange options priority in KEAM CAP?
A candidate may change their KEAM option priority any number of times within the time schedule permitted. The priority of options registered and saved at the time of closing of the facility for registering options alone will be considered for processing. No candidate will be allowed to register options afresh to any stream at any stage after the stipulated time as notified by the CEE. The option list once finalized cannot be augmented after the stipulated time for registering options. But the modification of the option list will be allowed only for cancellation/deletion and for re- arrangement of priority of options at the time specified in the notification by the CEE.
KEAM Opening and Closing Ranks
