Kerala has postponed the KEAM 2026 counselling result due to a CBSE Class 12 On-Screen Marking revaluation clash. CEE has extended mark-data entry to June 14, 2026 and a new rank list date will follow at cee.kerala.gov.in.
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) Kerala has postponed the KEAM 2026 engineering rank list. The notice is available on the official portal at cee.kerala.gov.in. The delay follows a clash with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 On-Screen Marking (OSM) revaluation window. CEE has extended the marks data entry deadline by one week, allowing candidates to submit their Class 12 marks until June 14, 2026.
The engineering rank list was earlier scheduled for publication on or before June 20, 2026. A revised rank list date will be announced through a fresh CEE press release. The postponement affects all KEAM 2026 candidates seeking engineering admission in Kerala.
Why the KEAM 2026 Rank List Has Been Delayed
CBSE recently opened a revaluation window for Class 12 students after introducing the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system this academic year. Many CBSE candidates reported concerns regarding score variations under OSM, and the revaluation process remained active beyond the original CEE deadline.
CEE had initially fixed June 7, 2026 as the last date for marks entry. The deadline has now been extended to June 14, 2026, giving CBSE students additional time to receive and submit their revised mark sheets.

Updated KEAM 2026 Important Dates
| Event | Earlier Schedule | Revised Schedule |
| Class 12 marks data entry deadline | June 7, 2026 | June 14, 2026 |
| Engineering rank list publication | On or before June 20, 2026 | To be announced |
| Counselling and seat allotment | Post rank list | To be announced |
How KEAM Calculates the Engineering Rank
KEAM engineering admissions follow a combined ranking system. The final rank is calculated with equal weightage given to:
- 50% from the KEAM entrance examination score
- 50% from Class 12 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM)
Any revision in CBSE board marks can directly impact a candidate's KEAM rank. A change in OSM revaluation results may move candidates up or down the merit list, which is why CEE has decided to wait for revised scores before publishing the final rank list.

Who Is Affected by This Postponement?
The delay primarily affects CBSE Class 12 students who have applied for KEAM 2026 and are awaiting their OSM revaluation results.
However, the postponement also impacts:
- State Board candidates
- ICSE candidates
- All engineering aspirants participating in KEAM 2026 counselling
Students are advised not to rely on the earlier June 20 publication date while planning for counselling. CEE will release a fresh notification announcing the revised schedule. The existing mark normalisation policy across different boards remains unchanged.
How to Submit Class 12 Marks for KEAM 2026
Candidates must complete the online marks submission process through the CEE Kerala portal before the revised deadline of June 14, 2026. Submission of marks is mandatory for inclusion in the engineering rank list.
Steps to Submit Marks
- Visit cee.kerala.gov.in and open the Candidate Login portal.
- Enter your KEAM 2026 Application Number and Password.
- Click on the Class 12 Marks Data Entry option.
- Enter your Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) marks accurately.
- Save the details and download the confirmation page for future reference.
Important: Candidates who fail to submit their Class 12 marks by June 14, 2026 may not be considered for the KEAM 2026 engineering rank list.
KEAM is one of the few engineering exams that weighs board marks equally with the entrance score. A small swing in CBSE marks can shift a candidate's rank by hundreds of positions.
Action Plan for Candidates
- Visit cee.kerala.gov.in every two days for the new rank list date.
- Complete Class 12 marks data entry before June 14, 2026.
- CBSE candidates should track their OSM revaluation status closely.
- Keep digital copies of admit card and mark sheets ready.
- Watch the CEE press release page for the revised counselling schedule.
The CEE Kerala portal will carry the revised KEAM 2026 engineering rank list date. CBSE candidates should also monitor their OSM revaluation outcomes.
