The real reason behind the delay in the KEAM 2025 rank list is suggested changes to the calculation of rank. The changes will be reviewed and a final decision is expected today. Know all details below.

KEAM 2025 Rank List

Here's Why the KEAM 2025 Rank List Is Delayed: Final Decision on New Engineering Rank Formula Today

The wait for students waiting for the KEAM 2025 rank list has been long, as the announcement of the engineering and other course ranks is currently delayed. This delay is due to a review by a group of experts who are suggesting changes to how the KEAM rank calculations are done.

Reason for KEAM 2025 Rank List Delay

Today, a special cabinet meeting is scheduled to discuss these recommendations. Right now, the ranks are determined by combining students' scores from their plus two examinations and their KEAM exam results, giving equal weight to both. However, there have been complaints that this method is unfair to students from the Kerala board, as it appears they are scoring 15 to 20 points lower than those from the CBSE board.

Because of these concerns, the expert committee looked into the situation, which is why the KEAM 2025 rank list has not been released yet. The state education department plans to change the way scores are calculated after hearing the complaints. In March, the expert committee proposed five changes to improve the system.

Students are understandably anxious, especially since the KEAM results still haven't been announced three weeks after the NEET results were released. They are worried about what this means for their future studies. In the meantime, students who took the KEAM 2025 exam have until noon on July 3 to log into their profiles on the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, to make any necessary corrections to their applications.

Q: Β  What is the KEAM marking scheme?
A:

In order to understand the KEAM question paper pattern, it is important to study the marking scheme in the exam. The KEAM exam marking scheme is similar to the JEE Main marking scheme. Candidates will be awarded 4 marks for every correct answer. 1 mark will be deducted for every incorrect answer. No marks will be deducted for not attempting a question.

Q: Β  Is there any negative marking in KEAM?
A:
Yes, one mark will be deducted for each incorrect answer. For every correct response in KEAM candidates will be awarded four marks and for each wrong response, one mark will be deducted from the candidates' total score. The pattern of the exam states that the KEAM question papers will comprise objective type questions (MCQ). For each question asked, five answers will be suggested but, only one of them will be correct. All the questions asked will be from KEAM syllabus listed for Physics Chemistry Mathematics / Biology. Candidates will be awarded 4 marks for every correct answer. 1 mark will be deducted for every incorrect answer. 4 marks will be awarded to candidates for marking every accurate answer. No marks will be deducted for not attempting a question. In case a candidate has marked two answers for a single question in the OMR sheet, negative marking will be applicable regardless of either of the answers being right or wrong.
Q: Β  How is tie-breaking done in KEAM for engineering rank list?
A:
In the case of a tie in the total marks computed for preparation of Engineering rank Then: Candidate with higher marks in Mathematics in the Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking. If the tie still exists, the candidate with higher marks in Physics of the Physics & Chemistry Paper in the Entrance Examination will be placed higher in the ranking. If there is still a tie, the candidate with higher standardized marks in Mathematics in the final year of the qualifying examination will be placed higher in the ranking. If the tie still persists, the candidate with higher standardized marks in Physics in the final year of the qualifying examination will be placed higher in the ranking. If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be taken into account and the older will be placed higher in the ranking.
