    What is Normalised Score in KEAM 2026? Check Calculation Method

    RanjeetaUpdated on 12 May 2026, 11:10 PM IST

    CEE Kerala will follow the normalisation formula with 50:50 weightage for the KEAM 2026 exam. A normalised score in KEAM 2026 is the adjusted score obtained after the normalisation formula is applied. Which means the KEAM raw score of 600 will be used to prepare the final engineering rank. Candidates’ raw scores across the KEAM 2026 exam shifts will be normalised via the percentile‑based statistical method. The normalised score is used to index the 600 marks to the scale of 300, and adds the Class 12 PCM marks to prepare the final marks. The KEAM 2026 result was out on May 12, 2026.
