The KEAM (Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical) 2026 counselling is a centralized, single-window admission process conducted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala. This process is essential for qualified candidates seeking admission into various professional degree courses—including Engineering, Architecture, Pharmacy, and Medical/Medical Allied streams—across the state.
By employing a transparent, merit-based system, the CEE ensures that seat allocation strictly adheres to the candidate's rank, entered preferences (options), and applicable government reservation policies. The counselling is conducted in multiple phases via an online portal, where candidates exercise their choice of colleges and courses. As the 2026 process is currently ongoing, candidates are required to stay updated with official notifications, as failure to adhere to the specified timelines for option registration, fee payment, or physical reporting can lead to the forfeiture of allotted seats.
The following table details the schedule for the ongoing Phase 1 and Phase 2 counselling process.
