KEAM 2026 Merit List Preparation & the 50:50 Formula Explained
The KEAM 2026 engineering rank list is prepared using a combined evaluation method. As per official guidelines, equal weightage is given to the entrance exam score and Class 12 marks. This system ensures a balanced assessment of candidates from various educational boards across Kerala.
Authorities apply a 50:50 formula for final ranking:
- 50% weightage is assigned to the KEAM entrance examination performance.
- Remaining 50% is based on normalised Class 12 marks.
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) normalises Plus Two (Class 12) marks from different boards to enable fair comparison among students with diverse academic backgrounds. Marks in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are standardised before the final calculation.
Officials have stated that only candidates who submit their Plus Two marks within the stipulated deadlines will be considered for the rank lists. Separate merit lists will also be prepared for different professional courses under KEAM admission rules.
