KLEE Counselling 2025: Options Registration, Seat Allotment, Self-Reporting & Selection Process

The first step after the release of the KLEE 2025 result is to register the options to get admission to colleges accepting KLEE 2025. Option registration is the process by which candidates can provide tier choices for courses and colleges for admission.

The facility for registering options is available only for a specific period. The facility to register options is withdrawn once the time period is over and candidates cannot access this facility after the specified time. A candidate, not registering his/her options as per the time schedule announced, is not considered for allotments against any of the seats available then, irrespective of his/her rank.

How to do KLEE 2025 Option Registrations?

Since the option registration is an online process, candidates must be careful while submitting their choices of course and college. Only those candidates included in the rank list of Kerala state rank list and category list are eligible for option registration.

Steps to register options are as follows:

Step 1: Accessing the website: The candidate can access the website,cee.kerala.gov.in from any computer having an internet facility. The platform can be Windows-based or Linux-based and the browser preferably the latest version of Firefox and Google Chrome. 

Step 2:  Logging on to the Candidate's Home page: The candidate can log on to their home page by entering the details that are the application number and password.

Step 3: Select options: Click on the ‘Option Registration’ tab, the Course - College - Fee combination list is displayed on the Home Page. Here all the eligible options of the candidate are displayed and the candidate should select only those options in which they are interested in the order of preference. 

All options registered by the candidate are processed. If a candidate gets allotted to a particular seat, based on their option, they are bound to accept it, failing which they shall lose that allotment as well as all the existing options. The option once lost is not available in the subsequent phases.

Step 4: Online option Confirmation for participating in subsequent phases of allotment: Candidates who are having valid options and are willing to participate in the second allotment / subsequent allotment have to log in to their Option Registration Page and Confirm their options by clicking the ‘Confirm’ button available in their Option Registration Page. Candidates can delete their unwanted options or alter the priority of existing options only after the online option confirmation.

Step 5: Save: To save the work, the Save menu item is to be clicked. It’s important to save the work frequently. The last saved data only is available in subsequent sessions. All unsaved data is lost on exit, by logging out or other means. So, please make sure that the selected course-college-quota combinations are saved before exit.

Step 6: Printing of the Options List based on the options registered: After saving the selected options (after necessary additions, deletions and rearrangements), a printout of the final list of selected course-college combinations may be taken and kept as a record for your own reference.

After the period of the option registrations are over, all the submitted options are processed. All the allotments made are strictly based on the options exercised, the rank obtained and eligible reservations of the candidate.
