Common Problems in KEAM 2026 Application Form Filling and Solution

When filling the KEAM application form, candidates may face some errors. The common errors that they face are:

  • Issues with uploading documents and images: The most common problem students face while filling out the KEAM 2026 application form is uploading documents and scanned copies of photographs/signatures, Sometimes candidates do not take care of the specification metioned in instructions. In such case candidates can resize the images as per the specification and retry.
