The Office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has issued a notification for KEAM 2026 asking all candidates who applied for Medical/Medical Allied courses (which includes MBBS and BDS) to log in to their Candidate Portal and check their application profile. If CEE has flagged any problem — with your photo, signature, nativity, or reservation claim — you can see and fix it online until 10 August 2026, 12:00 noon. This is not a new application window; it is a one-time correction opportunity for people who have already applied. Miss this window, and there is no second chance to fix the defect later. This step matters because errors here can directly affect whether you get reservation benefits or a fee concession in Kerala's counselling.
Every KEAM 2026 medical/medical-allied applicant must log in to the Candidate Portal and clear any 'defects' shown in their profile by 10 August 2026, 12:00 noon — after that, no rectification will be allowed.
What CEE is asking candidates to do
If you submitted an online application to CEE for Kerala Medical/Medical Allied courses (MBBS, BDS and related allied courses), you now need to verify your profile on the KEAM website. This is a routine but important step in the admission process — CEE checks every application and flags any issues, then gives candidates a chance to correct them before finalising the merit list and rank.
You do this through the link 'KEAM 2026-Candidate Portal' on www.cee.kerala.gov.in, logging in with your Application Number and Password.
What exactly to check in your profile
Once logged in, go through every section of your profile carefully — not just the parts you think might have a problem. CEE has specifically listed these areas for verification:
- Claim details — whatever category, quota or benefit you claimed while applying
- Personal details — name, date of birth, address, and other basic information
- Photo — the image uploaded with your application
- Signature — your scanned signature
- Nativity — whether you are recorded as 'Keralite' or not
- Reservation — the community/category reservation you have claimed
How to find and fix a 'defect'
If CEE's system has found something wrong or incomplete in your application, it will show up as a 'defect'. To see it, click the 'Memo Details' menu on your Profile page. This will tell you exactly what needs to be corrected.
To fix a defect, you upload the correct or missing document, photo, or signature directly on the portal — there is no manual or offline way to do this. CEE has clearly stated that this is your only chance: there will be no opportunity to rectify defects after 10 August 2026, 12:00 noon.
Important: do not post or courier any printed documents or certificates to the CEE office for any reservation or claim. All corrections must be made online through the portal only. Sending physical papers will not help and is not the accepted process.
The nativity trap — read this carefully if you want reservation benefits
This is the part of the notice every candidate should pay close attention to. As per the KEAM Prospectus, only candidates who are certified as 'Keralite' are eligible for Communal/Special reservation or any fee concession.
If your nativity has not been cleared as 'Keralite' in the system, you will NOT be considered for any reservation at all — regardless of which category you belong to. So if the Memo Details page shows a defect against your Nativity, you must upload a valid document proving Keralite status before the deadline. If you skip this, you could lose your reservation and fee concession benefits permanently for this admission cycle, even if you are genuinely entitled to them.
Key dates and deadline
There is one firm deadline in this notice. Mark it clearly.
| Activity | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Verify profile and rectify defects (photo, signature, nativity, reservation, personal details) | 10.08.2026, 12:00 noon |
Need help? Who to contact
If you face trouble logging in, understanding a defect memo, or uploading a document, CEE has provided a helpline. Use it well before the deadline — do not wait until the last hour, since portal traffic and last-minute technical issues are common near cut-off times.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Is this notice for a new KEAM 2026 application?
No. This is only for candidates who have already submitted their KEAM 2026 application for Medical/Medical Allied courses. It is a chance to verify and correct your existing application, not to apply fresh.
What happens if I don't check my profile before 10 August 2026, 12 noon?
The notice states there will be no opportunity to rectify defects later. If your application has an uncorrected defect, especially in nativity or reservation, it could cost you the benefit you are entitled to.
How do I know if my application has a defect?
Log in to the KEAM 2026-Candidate Portal on www.cee.kerala.gov.in with your Application Number and Password, then click 'Memo Details' on your Profile page. It will list any specific defects CEE has found.
Why is nativity so important in this notice?
Only candidates certified as 'Keralite' are eligible for Communal/Special reservation or fee concession under the KEAM Prospectus. If your nativity is not cleared as Keralite, you lose eligibility for these benefits entirely, so any defect here must be fixed urgently.
Can I send my certificates by post to CEE instead of uploading them?
No. The notice explicitly says not to send printouts of documents or certificates to the CEE office for any reservation or claim. All rectification must be done online through the Candidate Portal.
Does this notice cover MBBS and BDS specifically?
Yes. The notice is titled 'Medical/Medical Allied Courses', which covers MBBS, BDS and related medical allied courses under Kerala's KEAM 2026 counselling.
What if I forgot my Application Number or Password?
The notice does not give a specific recovery process, but you can contact the CEE helpline numbers (0471-2332120, 0471-2338487) or email ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in for assistance.
Do not delay this step — log in to your KEAM 2026 Candidate Portal today, open 'Memo Details', and check every section of your profile, especially Nativity and Reservation claims. If anything is flagged, upload the correct document right away, since 10 August 2026, 12:00 noon is a hard deadline with no second chance.
