KEAM 2027 Counselling

Updated on 18 October 2026 · Compiled from official Commissioner for Entrance Examinations notices

CEE conducts the Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) with technical support from NIC.

Process

1. 1

   Rank list

   Only candidates in the rank lists can register options for the matching stream.

2. 2

   Pay option registration fee

   A fee set by CEE is paid before registering options. It is adjusted to the course fee or refunded if there is no allotment.

3. 3

   Register options

   Enter courses and colleges in priority order on the candidate portal. Only listed combinations can be allotted.

4. 4

   Trial allotment

   Run before the first phase closes, to show likely chances.

5. 5

   Allotment memo

   Published online, with the fee to be paid.

6. 6

   Pay fee and join

   Pay at the allotted college and take admission within the schedule.

7. 7

   Confirm options

   Online option confirmation is mandatory before each later phase.

Key rules

• Options below the allotted one are removed; higher options stay if confirmed.
• If you do not pay or join, you lose the allotment and all options in that stream.
• A better later allotment replaces the earlier one automatically.
• Women's college seats are only for female candidates.
• Liquidated damages or penalties apply for quitting after admission as per the prospectus.

Seats and colleges

CAP covers Government, aided, KAU, KVASU, KUFOS, government cost-sharing, private self-financing and autonomous colleges. Allotment is based on rank, options and eligible reservations.

Documents at admission

• Allotment memo and fee receipt.
• Plus Two mark list and SSLC certificate.
• Nativity, community and income certificates as claimed.
• Transfer certificate and photo ID.
