Check below the steps to challenge the KEAM 2026 answer keys:

CEE to Declare KEAM Scores by May 10

CEE will release the KEAM 2026 score on or before May 10. On May 10, CEE will first declare the normalised scores of the candidates in KEAM. Note that only the KEAM scores will not form the basis of admissions. The candidates who will have valid KEAM scores will be asked to submit their class marks. The final scores that will be used for ranking and seat allocation will be out of 600.

The KEAM 2026 scores will be scaled down to 300, and the class 12 marks will also be scaled down to 300. The final KEAM 2026 rank list will be prepared based on the standardised scores of class 12 and scaled KEAM 2026 scores, with a 50:50 weightage given to both scores in the preparation of the KEAM engineering rank list. The final scoring for the KEAM engineering rank list generation will be out of 600. 

Thus, candidates have to submit their Class 12 marks to be included in the KEAM rank list. The final KEAM rank list will be out by June 20.

Minimum Marks Needed to Qualify KEAM 2026

To qualify in the Engineering Entrance Examination and thereby become eligible to figure in the Engineering rank list, a candidate must secure a minimum normalised score of 10 out of 300 in the Engineering Entrance Examination. The candidates who do not secure the minimum stipulated score will not find a place in the rank list.  For SC/ST candidates, there is no requirement for a minimum score in the Engineering Entrance Examination. However, the candidates who fail to answer at least one question will be disqualified. The same criteria is set for the Pharmacy candidates.
