KEAM 2026 marks vs ranks data can be checked here. Note that the data available here is based on the previous year trends and observations. Candidates can check the marks v/s ranks data for an idea and overview.
KEAM Marks V/S Ranks 2026
KEAM Marks vs Ranks 2026: Candidates can check here what their expected KEAM 2026 ranks can be based on their KEAM 2026 marks. CEE releases the KEAM percentile scores after normalisation, as the exam is held over multiple shifts and days in CBT mode. Candidates must note that KEAM 2026 ranks will be allotted based on an equal weightage of 50:50 given to the score obtained in the KEAM 2026 Entrance Examination 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. Therefore, candidates have to keep in mind that KEAM ranks cannot be based on just the entrance exam scores. We have given below a rough estimate of KEAM ranks based on the past few years' data. Check for an idea and do not consider this as a final prediction.

KEAM 2026 Normalisation Process
KEAM 2026 Engineering and Pharmacy Entrance Examinations 2026 were conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode; hence, it is required to conduct the examinations on multiple days. Each session will have a separate set of questions. To ensure that candidates are neither benefited nor disadvantaged due to the examinations in multiple sessions, the Normalisation procedure is adopted for KEAM 2026 result preparation. The total score of the Entrance Examination out of 600 is normalised. The procedure for Normalisation has been approved by the Normalisation Committee constituted vide G.O.(Rt)No.235/2026/H.Edn. dated.16.02.2026. The Index Mark after normalisation will be 300.
KEAM 2026 Normalisation procedure based on Percentile Interpolated Average Method:
Let there be K sessions, and let Ni be the number of students appearing in the ith session
Step 1: Convert the raw marks of students to percentile scores for each session separately.
Let Xij denote the raw mark of the jth candidate in the ith session,
i = 1,2,.....,K; j = 1, 2, .....Ni. Then the percentile score of the jth candidate in the ith session is calculated using the formula:
The percentile scores will be calculated up to 8 decimal places.
Step 2: Compute the interpolated scores for other sessions
Step 3: Compute the normalised marks for each student
KEAM 2026 Standardisation for Calculation of BTech Ranks
The formula for standardisation has been approved by the Expert Committee constituted vide G.O.(Rt)No.1758/2011/H.Edn. dated.03.11.2011: The marks secured by a student in the qualifying examination from any Board will be standardised with respect to the statistical parameters such as Global Mean and Global Standard Deviation. Check below:
KEAM 2026 Standardization for Calculation of BTech Ranks
Subject to be considered for KEAM 2026 Engineering Ranking

Tie Breaking for KEAM 2026 Rank List
If there are ties in KEAM 2026 rank list, the tie shall be resolved as per the rules mentioned below:
Engineering: In the case of a tie in the total index marks computed after integrating the total normalised score of the entrance examination with the total standardised score for the preparation of the engineering rank, then
- Candidates with a higher pre-normalised score in Mathematics in KEAM will be placed higher in the ranking.
- If the tie still exists, the candidate with a higher pre-normalised score in Physics of the KEAM Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
- If there is still a tie, a candidate with higher standardised marks in Mathematics in the final year of the qualifying examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
- If the tie persists, the candidate with higher standardised marks in Physics in the final year of the qualifying examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
- If the tie is still not resolved, the candidate with a higher number of responses in Mathematics will be considered.
- If the tie persists candidate with the correct higher number of responses in Physics will be considered.
- If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be considered, and the older candidate will be placed higher in the ranking.
- In case the tie remains, the decision of CEE will be final.
BPharm: In the case of a tie in the total normalised marks computed for the preparation of the BPharm rank list, then
- The candidate with the higher pre-normalised score in Chemistry in the KEAM Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
- The tie is still not resolved; the higher pre-normalised score in Physics in the KEAM Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking.
- If the tie is still not resolved, the candidate with the correct higher number of responses in Chemistry in the KEAM Entrance Examination will be considered.
- If the tie persists, the candidate with the correct higher number of responses in Physics will be considered.
- If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be considered, and the older candidate will be placed higher in the ranking.

Via CAP, admission will be also provided in medical, agriculture, forestry, veterinary, fisheries, architecture, and pharmacy courses. However, for admission to these courses candidates do not need to appear for KEAM they need NEET / NATA scores as applicable. KEAM engineering rank is prepared by giving an equal weightage of 50:50 to the score obtained in the Entrance Examination conducted by CEE for Engineering and the marks obtained in the final year of the qualifying examination for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry put together, after effecting the standardization procedure.
There is no paper 1 or paper 2 in KEAM anymore. As per the revised KEAM exam pattern, there is only one paper.

Yes, you can get admission to Bedekar College with 66 percentile.
You can get a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 because a 66 percentile is higher than the minimum general cutoff range of 40 to 79.

Yes, in some cases. Many private engineering and arts colleges in Kerala also accept direct admission based on Class 12 marks under management quota. However, top government colleges and NITs strictly need KEAM or JEE scores, so check each college's own admission rule.
