For KEAM NEET counselling, the rank list for Medical Courses (MBBS/BDS/BHMS/BSMS/BUMS Courses), excluding BAMS, will be formulated according to the ranks obtained in NEET-UG 2024, taking into account nativity conditions and meeting qualifying criteria. It's important to note that counselling and admissions for undergraduate medical courses in Kerala will be overseen by the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations (CEE) for both the 85% All India quota and the 15% state quota. The entire process, including counselling, merit list compilation, and admissions, will be solely based on National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) scores. CEE will not administer any separate entrance exams for medical admissions.

Candidates are required to verify or submit their NEET UG Score 2024 through the official website of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations. This submission is crucial for the preparation of the rank list for Medical & Medical Allied Courses & Ayurveda. The deadline for this submission will be specified by the CEE.

About Kerala NEET Counselling 2024
Admission to undergraduate medical seats in Kerala state colleges will be determined by the NEET 2024 score and conducted through KEAM 2024 counselling. The registration for KEAM closed on April 19. The dates for counselling will be announced following the completion of the KEAM 2024 exam for engineering and pharmacy courses, scheduled from June 5 to June 10.

The counselling process encompasses choice registration, option rearrangement if required, the printing of the final option list, trial allotments, final allotments, payment of option confirmation fee, and ultimately, admission confirmation by reporting to the allocated college.
