How can I check my KEAM result?

To check the KEAM result, candidates can follow the following steps:

KEAM 2025 Score Card

The KEAM result 2025 will be released in the form of a scorecard, showing the candidate's performance in the entrance exam.

The KEAM Scorecard will only include the marks scored by a candidate in the KEAM 2025 Exam, not the final rank, It will be announced later after considering the class 12 marks.

The Details Mentioned in the KEAM Scorecard are:

  • Candidate's Name
  • Roll Number & Application Number
  • Category of the candidate
  • Marks Obtained in Paper I (Physics & Chemistry)
  • Marks Obtained in Paper II (Mathematics)
  • Total Marks in KEAM Entrance Exam
  • Qualifying Status
  • Signature and Seal of CEE

KEAM 2025 Answer Key

The CEE Kerala has released the KEAM 2025 Answer key on the official website, before the announcement of the KEAM Result 2025.

The KEAM Provisional answer key can be used by candidates to check their expected marks and score before the announcement of KEAM results.

The objection window remains open until May 3, 2025, during which candidates can raise objections against any errors in the answer key.

How are KEAM marks calculated in 2025?

The KEAM 2025 marks are calculated based on 2 components: the entrance exam score and the normalised marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in the Class 12 board exams.

The 2 scores are added in a 50:50 proportion to make the final rank list, which will be released along with the KEAM Result.

Entrance Exam Score Calculation

  • The KEAM Engineering examination has Paper I (Physics & Chemistry) and Paper II (Mathematics).
  • Each paper has 120 marks, making the total 240 marks.

Scoring Pattern:

  • +4 marks for each correct response
  • -1 mark for each wrong answer
  • 0 marks for unattempted questions

Formula for calculating Exam Score:

KEAM Entrance Score = (No. of Correct Answers × 4) - (No. of Incorrect Answers × 1)

Normalisation of Class 12 Marks

  • Marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are normalised across various boards by a standard formula given by CEE Kerala.
  • Marks in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry alone are taken into account (or Computer Science/Biology in place of Chemistry if applicable).

Formula for Normalising Class 12th Marks:

Normalised Marks = (Board Marks / Total Marks) × 300

Final KEAM 2025 Rank Calculation

Formula: 

Final KEAM Score = [(Entrance Marks / 240) × 300 + Normalized Class 12 Marks] / 2

Component Weightage Maximum Marks
KEAM Entrance Exam 50% 240
Normalised Class 12 PCM Marks 50% 300
Final Score (Scaled to 600) Combined 600

How to check the KEAM Answer Key 2025?

The CEE Kerala has released the KEAM 2025 answer key on the official website, Candidates can download the provisional answer key of Paper I and II to estimate their scores before announcing the KEAM result 2025. If candidates have any objections, they can file them till 3rd May, 2025.

KEAM 2025 Marks Vs Rank

The KEAM 2025 marks vs rank correlation helps candidates in estimating their potential rank before the announcement of the KEAM result 2025. This is different every year based on the difficulty level and the candidate's performance.

  • In KEAM 2024, candidates with scores above 550 got ranks in the top 300, guaranteeing admission to top government engineering colleges such as CET Trivandrum and GEC Thrissur.
  • A range of 450–500 generally puts candidates among the top 5,000, usually securing them positions in sought-after branches such as CSE, ECE in premier private colleges.
  • Their position to rank 55,000 in 2024 allowed them to gain admission to aided and self-financing engineering colleges under the state quota.
  • Based on previous KEAM result trends, a 10–15 mark difference can result in a rank difference of several thousand, especially in the mid-score ranges (300–400).
Final Score (Out of 600) Expected Rank Range
550 – 600 1 – 500
500 – 549 501 – 2,000
450 – 499 2,001 – 5,000
400 – 449 5,001 – 8,000
350 – 399 8,001 – 12,000
300 – 349 12,001 – 17,000
250 – 299 17,001 – 25,000
200 – 249 25,001 – 35,000
150 – 199 35,001 – 45,000
100 – 149 45,001 – 60,000+

Is 17k a good rank in KEAM?

A 17,000 rank in KEAM will help you in getting admission in private or self-financing engineering colleges in Kerala, but it won't generally be enough for top government colleges.

You can still be allotted branches like Mechanical, Civil, or ECE in mid-tier institutions based on your category and seat availability.

KEAM 2025 Expected Cut-off

The KEAM 2025 cutoff is the minimum rank needed to join various engineering colleges in Kerala. The cutoffs are college-wise, branch-wise, and category-wise, and are trend-based from KEAM 2024.

  • CET Trivandrum CSE will likely close below Rank 800 (General), and that will be the most competitive branch in KEAM 2025.
  • GEC Thrissur and TKM Kollam CSE branches are expected to have closing ranks ranging from 1,200 to 2,000.
  • ECE and Mechanical streams in top colleges will have slightly increased closing ranks, typically up to 3,500–4,000 (General).
  • Reserved category students (SC/ST/OBC) can qualify for top branches with ranks between 5,000 and 15,000+, depending on the college.
  • Core disciplines such as Civil and Mechanical are still available up to 5,000–7,000 (General) in Tier-1 colleges because of lesser demand.
