Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM) is an entrance examination series for admissions to various professional degree courses in the state of Kerala, India. It is conducted by the Office of the Commissioner of Entrance Exams run by the Government of Kerala.

Top Colleges Accepting KEAM Ranking 2024

Model of entrance test

The model of the entrance test is published ahead of the examinations by the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations.[1]

Engineering courses

Students are tested on topics of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics taught in the 11th and 12th grade of Kerala State Education Board and similar boards, and national boards such as Central Board of Secondary Education and Indian Certificate of Secondary Education. The entrance exam consists of two parts; Part I is Mathematics and Part II is Physics and Chemistry.

Medical courses

This is similar to the Medical Entrance Tests conducted by NEET.

Architectural courses

Architectural courses, according to the Office of the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations, Kerala, as in clause 1.4b of the prospectus, are ranked based on National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA), conducted by the National Institute of Advanced Studies in Architecture (NIASA) as per directives of the Council of Architecture, India.

Dissimilarity of KEAM with other entrance tests

KEAM is probably the only entrance test series in India that is conducted by a State Government in India directly. Since 2015 all engineering colleges in the state are affiliated to KTU which is a state run technological university. In 2016, any KEAM disqualified candidates has to write KEE exam organised by private engineering colleges association to be able to apply for seats under management quota.

Engineering and architectural disciplines

The method of ranking has changed since its conception in 2006. In 2009, a new method of ranking students was proposed and put into practice in 2011 where the scores of the students in the entrance test and the scores of students in the 12th standard examinations conducted by ICSE, CBSE, Kerala State board, Other State board examinations was considered. The scores are then normalized to a set standard and then students are given a rank based on both the scores for the 12th grade examinations and common entrance examinations.[3] The colleges under the each universities have their choice to follow the KEAM structure in admitting students, however if a college participates in the KEAM allotment, the colleges should admit the student. KEAM Allotment occurs in the month of August. There are also 73 private colleges that participate in 2011 KEAM Engineering and Architecture Allotment.[4] In 2011 over 55,000 students were admitted to Engineering Colleges by KEAM.[5] In 2011 additional 7 colleges were added[6] to the list making 80 private colleges and 37 Government and Government Aided colleges participating in government allotment. However a majority of colleges run by Christian management conducted separate admission tests and admitted many more students. Overall over 80,000 students is expected to join in Engineering discipline in Kerala alone.

Coaching

Govt of kerala recently started a program for KEAM coaching named as PEECS
