KEAM Counselling & Seat Allotment Process

Aspirants can check out the KEAM counselling and seat allotment process below:

Step 1: KEAM Counselling Registration

The first step of the KEAM counselling process is registration, followed by filling out the option entry on the official website. Candidates should log in with their credentials and check the information before kicking off with choice filling.

Step 2: Check KEAM Seat Matrix

Candidates should first analyse the KEAM seat matrix in detail before filling preferences to know the college-wise and branch-wise seats available. This enables students to develop a list of options that is realistic and strategic.

Step 3: Fill and Lock College Preferences

Candidates are required to choose their respective college and course of their first choice, then their second choice, and so on. At this stage, applicants are advised to think about previous cut-off marks, seat availability, and their own career objectives before finalising their selections.

Step 4: KEAM Seat Allotment

The KEAM seat allotment process is based on ranks, reservation criteria, preferences given by the candidates of the test and availability of the seats. The outcome of allotments is available online for each round.

Step 5: Place the Allotted Seat.

An aspirant is required to accept the allotment within the required time. If the necessary actions are not taken, the assigned seat may be cancelled.

Step 6: Payment of the fee and document verification.

Once candidates accept their allotment, they must pay the prescribed fee for admission and document verification must be completed according to the instructions of the authorities. This step is required to ensure that you get the reserved seat.

Step 7: Report to the Allotted Institute

All the candidates should report to the allotted college within the time schedule after completion of all the formalities. Reporting to the institute is an integral part of the KEAM admission process and an indication that the candidate has been admitted to the institute.

Step 8: Take part in Further Rounds (If applicable)

Students who are not happy with the allotment or haven’t got a seat in the first round of KEAM counselling can attend the later rounds of the counselling, as long as they are eligible and seats are available.
