KEAM 2024: Changes Expected

Below is the list of expected changes that can happen, if the exam changes to CBT mode:

• The exam shall be conducted phase by phase, as it would not be possible to arrange over 1.2 lakh computer terminals at the same time. 
• An official mock test link will be available on the official website, two weeks before the exam dates.
• The post-examination process will take less time like answer release and result declaration. In the present method, it takes over three to four weeks to scan the OMR sheet. If the exam is covered in CBT mode, then the evaluation method will be faster and scores will be made available to the candidates in the shortest time. 

The exam is usually conducted in the selected districts of Kerela, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Dubai. CEE has released the online application form on the official website cee.kerala.gov.in. Candidates who have passed or are appearing in the 10+2 examination are eligible to apply for the exam, aiming for admission to various colleges in Kerala approved by Central and State Regulatory Bodies, Universities, and the Government.
