The Office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has issued a fresh notification extending two important deadlines for KEAM 2026 candidates applying for Medical/Medical Allied courses (which includes MBBS and BDS). This is a deadline-extension notice, not a new application window — it simply gives candidates more time to finish steps that were already announced in an earlier notification dated 07.08.2026. The last date to submit your NEET score has been pushed to 11 August 2026, 11:00 AM, and the last date to correct any defects flagged in your KEAM profile has been pushed to 13 August 2026, 11:00 AM. Candidates who have not yet completed these steps for the Kerala state-quota medical counselling should act within the new windows. The full requirements and process remain exactly as described in the original 07.08.2026 notification.
If you are applying for MBBS/BDS through KEAM 2026, submit your NEET score by 11 August 2026, 11:00 AM and fix any profile defects by 13 August 2026, 11:00 AM — both deadlines have been extended from the earlier dates.
What exactly changed
CEE Kerala's original notification of 07.08.2026 had set deadlines for two candidate actions related to Medical/Medical Allied course applications under KEAM 2026: submitting your NEET score, and rectifying (correcting) any defects found in your candidate profile. This new notification, dated 10.08.2026, extends both of those deadlines.
Everything else — the process, the documents needed, and the eligibility rules — stays as stated in the 07.08.2026 notification. This notice only changes the dates.
| Task | Previous status | New extended deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Submission of NEET Score | Deadline was set in the 07.08.2026 notification | 11.08.2026, 11:00 AM |
| Profile defect rectification | Deadline was set in the 07.08.2026 notification | 13.08.2026, 11:00 AM |
Who this affects
This extension applies to candidates applying for Medical/Medical Allied courses under KEAM 2026 — which covers MBBS, BDS, and other allied medical programmes admitted through Kerala's state counselling. If you have registered for KEAM 2026 and are seeking a medical or dental seat, you fall under this notice.
If you have already submitted your NEET score and your profile has no flagged defects, you do not need to take any further action under this particular notice — but it is worth logging in to double-check your status before the new deadlines close.
What 'submitting NEET score' and 'defect rectification' mean
'Submission of NEET Score' refers to candidates entering or uploading their NEET-UG 2026 result/score details into their KEAM candidate profile, as required for Kerala's medical counselling process. This is how CEE Kerala links your NEET performance to your KEAM application for medical seat allotment.
'Profile defect rectification' means correcting any errors or missing information in your KEAM application profile that CEE has flagged — for example, mismatched details, incomplete entries, or documents that need re-uploading. The exact list of defects, if any, would have been communicated to you individually through your CEE login or as described in the 07.08.2026 notification.
Because this extension notice does not itself list the specific documents or defect categories, candidates must refer to the original notification dated 07.08.2026 on the CEE Kerala website for the full details of what needs to be submitted or corrected.
Why this matters — don't miss it
Missing the NEET score submission deadline can mean your medical/medical allied application is not considered complete for further processing in KEAM 2026 counselling. Similarly, unresolved profile defects can disqualify your candidature or cause your application to be rejected at a later stage.
Both new deadlines are firm as stated in this notice: 11 August 2026, 11:00 AM for NEET score submission, and 13 August 2026, 11:00 AM for defect rectification. Candidates should not wait until the last hour, since portal traffic tends to spike close to deadlines.
