KLEE 5-Year LLB 2026 Counselling: Key Details and Process

The online option registration process requires candidates to pay a non-refundable option registration fee to CEE Kerala. This fee, once submitted, cannot be altered. Per CEE Kerala guidelines, candidates who do not receive any seat allotment will be eligible for a refund of this fee. However, those who are allotted a seat but choose not to join, or who withdraw after admission, will forfeit the paid option registration fee.

Following the closure of the option registration window on August 14, 2026, CEE Kerala will proceed to publish the first seat allotment list. Candidates who secure a seat in this allotment must then complete the self-reporting process at their respective allotted colleges. This involves verifying necessary documents and paying the stipulated college admission fee to confirm their acceptance of the seat.

This includes visiting the allotted college for document verification and remitting the necessary admission fees to secure their admission. Further rounds of counselling, if required, will be announced by CEE Kerala based on the availability of seats after the first allotment.
