KEAM 2026 Result: The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) will release the KEAM result 2026 at cee.kerala.gov.in. CEE will first release the KEAM 2026 scores of the candidates. Thereafter, CEE will ask the candidates who qualify the exam to submit the plus two marks. The KEAM 2026 engineering rank list will then be published by giving 50:50 weightage to KEAM scores and plus two marks.

CEE is expected to release the KEAM 2026 results in May 2026, tentatively. Since the KEAM 2026 exam is conducted in multiple sessions, the CEE will normalise the scores. The Index Mark after normalisation is set at 300. To qualify in the KEAM 2026 Engineering and BPharm Entrance Examination and be eligible for the respective rank list, candidates must secure a minimum normalised score of 10. The final KEAM 2026 rank list will be released in June 2026, tentatively. For more details on the KEAM 2026 results, including the result preparation process, rank list preparation, score computation using the standardisation process, tie-breaking criteria, etc, please read below.

KEAM 2026 Result: Submission of Plus Two Marks

A few days after the KEAM scores are announced, CEE invites the candidates to submit their plus two marks. Once the KEAM plus two marks submission window open, candidates have to access the KEAM login and entre the class 12 marks. Note that candidates who will not submit their plus two marks will not be considered in KEAM rank list and hence will be eliminated from the KEAM counselling.

The class 12 marks submitted by the candidates will undergo standardisation for the preparation of the KEAM 2026 Engineering Rank list. After successful submission of the class 12 marks, candidates can download the 'Mark Submission Confirmation Report' for future reference. Note that there is no other mode to submit the class 12 marks data other than via the KEAM candidate portal. Hence all candidates must submit their marks until the window is open. CEE will not accept any class 12 marks submission via email or other modes.

KEAM 2026 Rank List

Candidates can check the process below for the preparation of the KEAM 2026 ranklist.

KEAM 2026 Rank List Preparation for Engineering Courses

  • To prepare the KEAM rank list for engineering admission, an equal weightage of 50:50 shall be given to the normalised score obtained in the KEAM 2026 Entrance Examination for Engineering and the grade/marks obtained in the final year of the qualifying examination for Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, put together, after effecting the standardisation procedure.
  • The normalized score obtained by the candidate in the KEAM Engineering Entrance Examination shall be computed out of 300, and added to the total standardized marks of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry/Computer Science/Biotechnology/Biology as the case may be, of the final year of the Qualifying Examination, computed out of 300, both corrected to four places of decimals. The rank list for Engineering Courses shall be prepared based on the total marks obtained out of an Index mark of 600.

Subjects to be considered for KEAM 2026 Engineering Ranking

The subjects of the qualifying examination considered for the computation of marks for ranking shall be Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. 

In case the candidate has not studied Chemistry, the marks obtained in Computer Science shall be considered. In case the candidate has not studied Chemistry and Computer Science, the marks obtained in Biotechnology shall be considered. In case the candidate has not studied Chemistry, Computer Science and Biotechnology, the marks obtained in Biology shall be considered.

Standardisation of 10+2 scores

The final year marks of the qualifying examination of each subject, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry/Computer Science/Biotechnology/and Biology, of the students who have passed the subject, received from the respective Boards, shall be transformed out of 100. The marks of the three subjects shall be computed out of 300 after effecting standardisation in each subject.  The marks secured by a student in the qualifying examination from any Board will be standardised with respect to statistical parameters such as Global Mean and Global Standard Deviation.
