What Comes After the Trial Allotment?
The trial round shows a likely seat based on submitted choices. It is not the final allotment. Candidates can still modify their options after seeing the result.
CEE Kerala will then run the final Phase 1 allotment. The KEAM CAP counselling runs across three main phases. A mop-up round follows to fill any leftover vacant seats.
The trial allotment gives candidates a preview of their likely seat. It lets them rework the option order before the real result. Students should treat it as a test run, not a final admission.
Action Plan for Candidates
- Sign in to the KEAM candidate portal on cee.kerala.gov.in.
- Prepare a shortlist of desired colleges and BTech branches.
- Enter all preferred options in strict order of preference.
- Save the final list well before the July 6 deadline.
