KLEE LLM 2026 Round 1 option registration extended to October 8

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, announced today, October 6, 2026, an extension for the KLEE LLM 2026 Round 1 Option Registration deadline. Candidates now have until October 8, 2026, to register and confirm their college and course preferences for the first round of centralised allotment for the two-year LLM programme.

This extension provides three additional days beyond the earlier deadline of October 5, 2026, at 3 PM. The revised schedule applies to admissions into government and government-controlled law colleges across Kerala, allowing eligible candidates more time to finalise their choices through the official portal, cee.kerala.gov.in.

Eligibility and Option Submission Process

Only candidates whose names are included in the KLEE LLM 2026 rank list published by the CEE, Kerala, are eligible to register options. In addition, candidates must have completed the mandatory document upload step through the candidate portal before proceeding with choice registration. Registered options will only be considered if the candidate’s rank is released and their uploaded documents are in order. Any candidate missing from the rank list cannot participate in the Round 1 allotment.

Eligible candidates must log in to their candidate portal on cee.kerala.gov.in and select their preferred colleges and specialisations in order of priority. The order in which options are filed by the candidate will be the sole basis for allotment. Once submitted and confirmed, options cannot be altered after the revised closing time of October 8, 2026.
