How admission works

  • All seats: Through Kerala state counselling, run by Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala. State counselling fills the government quota, management quota and NRI seats in private colleges.
  • Students from other states: NK-II (other-state) candidates are not eligible for govt seats but can get limited state-merit seats in private self-financing colleges (no reservation/fee concession); NRI quota is separate. They must apply through CEE (KEAM registration).
