KEAM Counselling

As of now, CEE Kerala, the conducting body has released the schedule for KEAM Counselling 2023 upto Phase 1 Seat Allotment, which is to be conducted between Jul 20 and Aug 4. The last date for online option registration is Jul 26. Candidates who are qualified for admission to BTech course must register the options through the official website. Further, KEAM Phase 1 Seat Allotment is scheduled to be out on Jul 29. Allotted candidates must pay the fees to the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations for KEAM Phase 1 Seat Allotment between Jul 31 and Aug 4. Going as per the past year trends KEAM Counselling is generally conducted upto three to four rounds or phases of seat allotment. The schedule for further KEAM seat allotments will be notified by the CEE Kerala on the official website at cee.kerala.gov.in. 

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. 

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. 

It is possible to get into a college for Computer Science CS with a rank of 36,000 in KEAM 2023, but it will be difficult. The cutoff rank for CS in government colleges is usually around 10,000, and even the cutoff rank for private colleges is often around 20,000. However, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of getting admission:
* Apply to a variety of colleges, including both government and private colleges. * Consider applying for a scholarship. There are many scholarships available for students who want to study CS. * Make sure your application is strong. This means submitting a good application form, writing a strong personal statement, and submitting good letters of recommendation. * Prepare for the counseling process. The counseling process is how you will be assigned a college. Make sure you understand the process and are prepared to ACT quickly when your turn comes. If you do all of these things, you will increase your chances of getting into a college for CS with a rank of 36,000. However, it is important to remember that there is no guarantee of admission. The competition for CS seats is very high, and even with a strong application, you may not be able to get into your top choice college.
