KLEE Admission Process (Centralised Allotment Process)

Updated November 2026. The steps below follow the 2026 process. Dates for 2027 will be announced by CEE Kerala.

Step by step

1. Apply for KLEE on cee.kerala.gov.in when the notification comes out. Upload your photo, signature and certificates carefully – mistakes can lead to your result being withheld.
2. Write the exam and check the provisional answer key. You can raise objections within the given window.
3. Check the rank list. Only candidates in the rank list can take part in admission.
4. Register your options. Log in to the candidate portal, pay the option registration fee and list the colleges and courses you want, in order of preference. Your first option should be the seat you want most.
5. Check your allotment. CEE allots seats by rank and your options. Allotment happens in phases (two main phases, then rounds for vacant seats).
6. Pay the fee and report to the college before the deadline, or the allotment is cancelled.
7. Keep higher options (if you want a better seat). If you want to move up in later phases, you must confirm your higher options on the portal. If you do not confirm, they are not considered in later phases.
8. Vacant / stray rounds. Seats left after the main phases are filled through further option registration rounds.

Tips from our faculty

• List every college you are willing to join – leaving out options can leave you without a seat.
• Write down your login details and check the portal daily during allotment; deadlines are short.
• Keep originals and copies of all certificates ready before the allotment starts.
