What is KEAM?

KEAM – Kerala Engineering, Agricultural and Medical Entrance Exam (KEAM) is a highly prestigious examination conducting annually at the state level. The KEAMS examination is conducted by the Commission of Entrance Examination (CEE) to offer admission to the most eligible and interested candidates in BTech courses. The examination offers admission to those candidates who are interested in studying both government and private colleges in Kerala.

The KEAMS examination is a highly competitive exam as the number of candidates attending the examination is increasing yearly. The admission will truly be based on the marks obtained in the 12^th class and the rank list published after the KEAMS exam. As per the norms of the government, some of the seats are reserved for candidates belonging to specific categories. If you are aspiring to crack the examination, the candidates should start the preparation at the earliest.
