KLEE LLM 2026 counselling: Round 1 option registration deadline extended to November 2

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has extended the deadline for Round 1 option registration for KLEE LLM 2026 counselling. As of October 27, 2026, eligible candidates now have additional time to select and prioritise their preferred colleges for the first phase of centralised seat allotment.

This extension applies to candidates seeking admission to Master of Laws (LLM) courses through the Kerala Law Entrance Examination (KLEE) counselling process. The decision aims to ensure all eligible candidates have ample opportunity to complete this crucial step in the admission cycle.

Revised Deadline for Option Registration

The notice regarding the extension was issued around October 27, 2026, by CEE Kerala. Candidates can now submit their preferred colleges online until November 2, 2026, at 5 PM. This revised timeline provides an additional five days for candidates to finalise their choices and arrange them in order of priority.

Option registration is a mandatory step for candidates to be considered for seat allotment. The process can be completed through the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, by logging in with their application number and password. Candidates are advised to review their choices carefully before submission and save confirmation details for future reference.

Centralised Seat Allotment Process

Following the closure of the option registration window, CEE Kerala will proceed with the centralised seat allotment process. Seat allotment will be determined based on several factors, including candidates’ ranks in the KLEE LLM examination, their overall eligibility, applicable reservation rules, the availability of seats, and the college preferences submitted by the candidates.

The Centralized Allotment Process (CAP) is the standard method used by CEE Kerala for admissions to various professional courses. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for seat allotment results and further admission instructions once the option registration period concludes.
