KEAM 2026 Rank List Not Today; CEE Kerala Ranks Likely Tomorrow at 1 PM

The much-awaited KEAM 2026 rank list is unlikely to be released today, bringing disappointment to thousands of engineering and pharmacy aspirants across Kerala. According to the latest reports, the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, is now expected to announce the KEAM 2026 engineering and pharmacy rank lists on June 27 at around 1 PM. However, candidates should note that the authority has not yet issued an official confirmation regarding the exact release time on its website.

Students who appeared for the Kerala Engineering, Architecture and Medical (KEAM) examination have been eagerly waiting for the publication of ranks as it will determine their admission prospects in various engineering and pharmacy colleges across the state. Once released, candidates will be able to access their rank cards through the official CEE Kerala portal.

KEAM 2026 Rank List Delayed Again

The KEAM rank list has witnessed multiple delays this year. Initially, the ranks were expected to be announced on June 20. Later, the release was postponed to June 22 and subsequently to June 26.

The latest delay occurred after CEE Kerala decided to extend the deadline for submission and verification of Class 12 marks. The extension was provided to accommodate students who had applied for revaluation of their board examination papers, particularly those from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Since revised marks needed to be included in the preparation of the final merit list, the authority postponed the publication of ranks.

Reports now suggest that the rank list may finally be published on June 27 at approximately 1 PM, although aspirants are advised to regularly check the official website for any fresh notifications.

Why Was the KEAM 2026 Rank List Postponed?

The preparation of the KEAM engineering rank list involves a detailed process. CEE Kerala combines the normalized entrance examination score with candidates’ qualifying examination marks to prepare the final rank.

Since many students updated their Class 12 marks after revaluation results were declared, the authority reopened the marks submission facility. This additional verification process required more time, resulting in the postponement of the rank list announcement.

Officials have emphasized that incorporating revised marks ensures fairness and accuracy in the final merit list, thereby benefiting candidates whose scores improved after revaluation.

How Is KEAM 2026 Rank Prepared?

The KEAM engineering rank list is prepared by giving equal importance to the entrance examination score and Class 12 performance.

The final rank is calculated using the following formula:

• 50% weightage is given to the normalized score obtained in the KEAM entrance examination.
• 50% weightage is given to the standardized marks secured in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in the qualifying examination.

Both components are normalized and combined to prepare the final index score out of 600 marks. Candidates who fail to submit their Plus Two marks within the stipulated period are not included in the engineering rank list.
