KEAM Seat Allotment 2025:
All You Need to Know
The KEAM Seat Allotment 2025 is the most important step for students who have taken the Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM) exam and want to get admission into the best engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and medical colleges in Kerala. Organized by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, this process determines the college and course a student will receive based on their rank, choice, and availability of seats.
If you are among the candidates waiting for your KEAM 2025 results and allotment, here is a complete guide so you can have an idea of how it works, what to expect, and how to prepare for every step.
What is KEAM Seat Allotment?
KEAM Seat Allotment refers to the procedure by which deserving candidates are allocated seats in colleges on the basis of their performance in the entrance exam, filled choices during counselling, category reservation, and seat availability. Allotment is done online using the Centralized Allotment Process (CAP).
The procedure typically occurs in several rounds to place maximum students in courses and colleges according to their preference.

Step-by-Step Process of KEAM Seat Allotment
1. Rank List and Result Declaration
Following the announcement of KEAM results, CEE Kerala publishes the rank list. The ranks are drawn on a 50:50 weightage – 50% based on KEAM examination and 50% on Class 12 board marks (for Engineering). Ranks are drawn on the basis of NEET and NATA scores respectively for Medical and Architecture.
2. Online Registration of Options
This is where you put up your preferred course and colleges. You will have to:
Login to the authentic KEAM site using your user ID and password.
Select colleges and courses judiciously.
Prioritize.
Lock options well in advance before the deadline.
Key Tip:
Do adequate background research regarding college, fees, placements, cut-offs before you lock your choice.
3. Trial Allotment
CEE generally does a trial allotment to provide candidates with an approximate idea of where they may be allotted. This assists in refining your choices.
Note: Trial allotment is provisional. It's merely a mock round for you to see how the system will be working.
4. First Round Allotment
Once the trial allotment is over, the first actual allotment comes out. If you are allotted a seat, you can:
Choose to accept the seat by paying the seat confirmation fee.
Opt to attend the subsequent rounds if you're not satisfied with the allotment.
Or, opt out if you don't wish to proceed.
5. Further Rounds
The second and third rounds of allotment are similarly patterned. Every round is subject to the availability of seats, acceptance/rejection of earlier offers by candidates, and your updated preferences (if permitted).
6. Final Allotment and College Reporting
After you are allotted a seat in the last round, you'll have to:
Download your allotment memo.
Pay the entry fee.
Reach the allotted college within the stipulated time with all documents.
Not doing so can result in cancellation of the seat.
