The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has issued a notice about the physical (medical board) examination for candidates seeking admission to Kerala's Medical and Medical Allied courses under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities, referred to as 'Bhinnasheshi' in the notice) category. CEE had already conducted medical boards for these candidates at various government medical colleges between 20 and 23 May 2026. Candidates in the PwD category who applied through CEE's website but could not attend that medical board are now being given one final opportunity: a medical board in the first week of August 2026 in Thiruvananthapuram. To be considered for this, they must email CEE by 5 PM on 31 July 2026. This is not a routine reminder — CEE has explicitly stated there will be no further chance after this.

PwD candidates who missed the May 2026 medical board must email CEE at ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in by 5 PM on 31 July 2026 to get a final examination slot in Thiruvananthapuram — after this, no other opportunity will be given.

CEE Kerala — കേരള മെഡിക്കൽ / മെഡിക്കൽ അനുബന്ധ കോഴ്‌സുകളിലേക്കുള്ള പ്രവേശനം – ഭിന്നശേഷി (PwD) വിഭാഗത്തിൽപ്പെട്ട ഉദ്യോഗാർത്ഥികളുടെ ശാരീരിക പരിശോധന സംബന്ധിച്ച്Official PDF notice published by CEE Kerala. Always confirm details against the official document.

What this notice is about

For admission to Kerala's Medical/Medical Allied courses (MBBS, BDS and related programmes filled through KEAM/CEE counselling), candidates who apply under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category are required to undergo a medical board examination. This board assesses and certifies the nature and extent of a candidate's disability so that the correct reservation benefit can be applied.

CEE had already organised these medical boards at various government medical colleges across Kerala from 20 May to 23 May 2026, for all PwD applicants who had registered through the CEE website.

Who this notice applies to

This notice is specifically for PwD-category applicants who applied through the CEE website for the May 2026 medical board but were unable to attend it for any reason.

It does NOT apply to candidates who already attended and completed their medical board examination in May 2026 — no action is needed from them regarding this notice.

The final opportunity: August 2026 medical board in Thiruvananthapuram

CEE will hold one more medical board for PwD candidates in the first week of August 2026, at Thiruvananthapuram. This is being offered only to those who missed the May board and want to be examined.

Candidates who want to attend this board must send an email application to CEE before the deadline given below. CEE has clearly stated that this is the last opportunity for PwD physical/medical examination — there will be no further chance after this round.

How and when to apply

Eligible candidates (those who missed the May 2026 medical board) must send their request by email — not through the CEE portal or in person — to be considered for the August board.

The notice does not specify the exact contents required in the email or the exact August dates; candidates should watch the CEE website and use the helpline for confirmation of the exact venue and date once allotted.

  • Email ID to apply: ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in
  • Deadline: 5:00 PM on 31 July 2026
  • Medical board timing: first week of August 2026
  • Venue: Thiruvananthapuram

Why candidates must not miss this deadline

CEE has explicitly said, in the notice, that there will be no other opportunity for PwD candidates to undergo this physical examination after the August 2026 board. Since the medical board certificate determines whether a candidate is eligible for PwD-category reservation and seat allotment benefits in Kerala Medical/Medical Allied admissions, missing this deadline could mean losing the chance to be considered under the PwD quota altogether.

Given that the notice was issued on 28 July 2026 and the deadline is 31 July 2026, affected candidates have only a very short window to act. Anyone who missed the May board should email CEE immediately rather than waiting.
