What is KEAM?
An admission exam called the Kerala Engineering, Architecture and Medical admission Exam (KEAM) is given in Kerala, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Dubai. For those seeking admission to engineering programmes at Kerela’s numerous colleges that have received approval from the government, universities, and state and federal regulatory bodies, an offline entrance exam is held.
Candidates who pass the KEAM exam must subsequently show up for CEE’s centralised admission process (CAP). Admission will also be made available for courses in medicine, agriculture, forestry, veterinary medicine, fishery, architecture, and pharmacy through CAP. However, students can enrol in these programmes without taking the KEAM exam if they have the necessary NEET or NATA scores instead. However, they must submit the KEAM application before the deadline.
