Questions related to KEAM

Have a question related to KEAM ?

I have not passed the keam entrance exams. I am interested in doing BTech computer science and engineering. How much donation will I have to give to get a management quota seat? How much will be the semester fees for management quota?

hi,

sorry to hear that. If you didn’t pass the KEAM entrance exam but want to do BTech in Computer Science and Engineering, don’t worry. You can explore these options:

Management Quota or NRI Quota Seats: Many private colleges offer admission under management or NRI quota without KEAM rank. However, fees might be higher.
Other State or National Level Exams: Some colleges accept JEE Main scores or other engineering entrance exams. Check if you qualify for admission through those.
Direct Admission in Private Colleges: Some private colleges offer direct admission based on your 12th marks or other criteria.

Make sure to research colleges, their admission criteria, and fees carefully. Also, keep improving your qualifications for better chances next time!

What should be rank for student with 39 percentile in keam 2025

hi,

A 39 percentile in KEAM 2025 roughly translates to a rank above 90,000 or more , depending on the total number of candidates and the difficulty level of the exam that year.

Note: This is just an estimated range. The official rank list considers your normalized scores from both KEAM and board exams (in the case of Engineering).

To get an accurate rank, wait for the official rank list by CEE Kerala after submission of your 12th marks.

If you’re targeting admission in government engineering colleges , a higher percentile is usually needed. However, you can still explore private colleges under management quota or apply for courses with lower cut-offs .

Let me know your stream (Engineering/Pharmacy/etc.) if you need specific advice!

i got 26 percentile score and 20 notmalised score what will be my rank in keam . can i get ece department

HEY THERE!!

With 26 percentile and 20 normalized scores in KEAM 2025, your rank can be expected to be extremely high (low performance)-almost above 60,000 or even more, as per the historical trends.

KEAM Percentile, Marks, and Rank Relationship

Percentile less than 85 and marks less than 100 out of 600 typically reflect a rank higher than 20,000-often much higher.
A normalized mark of 20 is very low, as the majority of candidates who get engineering seats achieve more than 100–200 marks.

ECE Admission Prospects

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is a sought-after branch.
For government and premier private colleges, ECE generally closes at much lower ranks (in top 20,000–40,000).
Based on your percentile and normalized mark, chances of your getting ECE in any government or good private college through KEAM counselling are very remote.
With 26 percentile and 20 normalized score, your position will be too high for ECE admission in KEAM colleges. Opt for management quota or diploma streams, or attempt again next year for a higher score.

I got 129.9 out of 300 percentile score for keam and I got 281 out of 300 for pcm in 12th cbse board. what will be my rank ?

HEY THERE!!

Marks (Out of 600) Expected Rank Range

550 – 600 1 – 5,000

500 – 549 5,001 – 10,000

450 – 499 10,001 – 20,000

400 – 449 20,001 – 30,000

350 – 399 30,001 – 40,000

300 – 349 40,001 – 50,000

250 – 299 50,001 – 60,000

Below 250 60,000+

Your aggregate score of 410.9 puts you in the rank range of 20,000 to 30,000.

Summary

With a KEAM rank score of roughly 411 out of 600, your probable rank will be between 20,000 and 30,000. This is an approximation; actual ranks can differ slightly depending on the competition of the year and normalization.
