Kerala KEAM 2026 Reopens Medical Applications: Fresh Registration & Course Addition Open Until 27 July
Kerala Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) has reopened the KEAM 2026 application facility for candidates seeking admission to Medical and Medical Allied courses. This is an important opportunity for students who either missed the earlier KEAM application window or want to add Medical courses to their existing KEAM application.
The online facility is available from 23 July 2026 and will remain open until 27 July 2026 at 11:00 AM. After this deadline, candidates will not be able to submit fresh applications, add Medical courses, or upload reservation documents.
If you are planning to participate in Kerala MBBS admission through NEET UG 2026, it is important to understand which option applies to you and complete the process before the deadline.
Kerala KEAM 2026 Application Window
The application and course addition facility is available during the following period:
- Opening Date: 23 July 2026
- Last Date: 27 July 2026
- Closing Time: 11:00 AM
Candidates should not wait until the last day, as heavy traffic on the portal may cause delays.

The reopened application window is meant for two different groups of candidates.

Instead, they should:

Submitting multiple applications may result in the cancellation of the candidature as per the KEAM 2026 prospectus.
NEET UG 2026 Qualification is Mandatory
Admission to MBBS and other NEET-based Medical and Medical Allied courses will be considered only for candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Without a valid NEET UG 2026 qualification, candidates will not be considered for admission to these courses.

The reopened portal also allows candidates to add or update reservation claims.
Eligible candidates can now apply under:
- NRI Quota
- Minority Quota
- EWS Reservation
- Community Reservation
- Other applicable reservation categories
The Candidate Portal includes options such as:
- Upload NRI Document

Upload Supporting Documents Before the Deadline
One of the most important points in the notification is the submission of supporting documents.
Candidates claiming any reservation or fee concession must upload the required certificates while this facility is available.
Depending on the reservation category, documents may include:
- Community Certificate

- EWS Certificate (State Education Purpose)

Application Fee
The application fee or additional application fee can only be paid through the online payment facility provided on the official KEAM portal.
The amount payable depends on the type of application and the courses selected.
