How is the KEAM 2026 merit list prepared?

For engineering admissions, the KEAM rank list is prepared by giving equal weightage to the entrance examination score and Class 12 marks. As per the admission process, the marks obtained by candidates in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry in the qualifying examination are standardised and combined with the KEAM entrance scores.

The final engineering rank is prepared using a 50:50 formula, where:

• 50 per cent weightage is given to KEAM entrance examination scores
• 50 per cent weightage is given to normalised marks obtained in Class 12 or equivalent examination

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations normalises Plus Two marks from different boards before preparing the final merit list to ensure parity among candidates from various educational boards.

Candidates who qualify in the entrance examination and submit their Plus Two marks within the prescribed timeline will be considered for inclusion in the engineering rank list. Separate rank lists are prepared for different professional courses under the KEAM admission process.
