The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has published the provisional category list for candidates eligible for Konkani Linguistic Minority quota seats at Dr. Padiar Memorial Homoeopathic Medical College under KEAM 2026. This list includes only those candidates who submitted valid caste/community certificates issued by competent revenue authorities within the stipulated deadline. If you applied for this quota and believe your name should be on the list, or if you spot an error, you have until 16 September 2026 at 4:00 PM to lodge a complaint. This is a critical step in the Kerala medical admission process — missing the complaint deadline means you cannot challenge the list later.
Check the provisional Konkani Linguistic Minority category list on the KEAM-2026 Candidate Portal immediately; if your name is missing or incorrect, email your complaint with your KEAM application number and name to ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in by 16 September 2026, 4:00 PM.
What is this provisional category list?
This is an official list published by Kerala's CEE showing which candidates are eligible for Konkani Linguistic Minority quota seats at Dr. Padiar Memorial Homoeopathic Medical College. The list is 'provisional' — meaning it is not final. It is based on the caste/community certificates that candidates submitted to the CEE within the deadline set by the authority.
The Konkani Linguistic Minority quota is a special set of seats reserved for candidates whose mother tongue is Konkani. This is a state-level quota under Kerala's medical admission system. Only candidates who submitted valid documentation proving their Konkani linguistic minority status are included in this list.
Who is eligible for the Konkani Linguistic Minority quota?
To be eligible for this quota, you must be a Konkani linguistic minority candidate. This means Konkani must be your mother tongue or you must meet the state's definition of a Konkani linguistic minority. The exact eligibility criteria are set by Kerala's government and the CEE.
Critically, you must have submitted a valid caste/community certificate issued by a competent revenue authority (such as a Tahsildar or District Magistrate) to the CEE within the stipulated time. If you did not submit this certificate, or if it was rejected as invalid, you will not appear on this list. The certificate must be issued by the correct authority — a certificate from any other source will not be accepted.
- Mother tongue must be Konkani (as per state definition)
- Valid caste/community certificate from competent revenue authority required
- Certificate must have been submitted to CEE within the deadline
- Certificate must be recognized as valid by the CEE
Where to view the provisional category list
The list is published on the official CEE website at www.cee.kerala.gov.in. You do not need to download anything or wait for a letter — the list is live now and you can access it immediately.
To view your status, log in to the KEAM-2026 Candidate Portal using your application credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the 'Category list' menu. Your name and application number will appear if you are eligible for the Konkani Linguistic Minority quota. If you do not see your name, it means either your certificate was not submitted on time, was found to be invalid, or you do not meet the eligibility criteria.

Important: The complaint deadline — 16 September 2026, 4:00 PM
This is the most critical date in this notice. If you believe there is an error in the provisional list — for example, your name is missing when it should be there, or your name appears with incorrect details — you must file a complaint by 16 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. After this deadline, no complaints will be accepted. This is a hard cutoff; there are no extensions.
Do not assume the list will be corrected automatically or that you can raise the issue later during counselling. The CEE will only consider complaints received by the deadline. If you miss this date, you lose your right to challenge the list, and you may be ineligible for the quota even if you should have been included.
- Deadline: 16 September 2026, 4:00 PM (strict cutoff)
- No extensions or late complaints accepted
- File your complaint immediately if you spot an error
How to file a complaint about the provisional list
If you need to lodge a complaint, send an email to ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in. Your email must include two pieces of information: your KEAM application number and your full name. Do not send complaints through any other channel — phone calls, letters, or visits to the office will not be accepted. Email is the only official method.
In your email, clearly state what the error is. For example: 'My name should appear on the Konkani Linguistic Minority category list but does not' or 'My name appears with incorrect spelling.' Attach a copy of your valid caste/community certificate if you believe it was not received or was incorrectly marked as invalid. Keep a copy of your email for your records, including the timestamp showing it was sent before 4:00 PM on 16 September 2026.
- Email address: ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in
- Must include: KEAM application number and full name
- Clearly describe the error or issue
- Attach supporting documents (e.g., certificate copy) if relevant
- Send before 16 September 2026, 4:00 PM
- Keep proof of submission (email timestamp)
What happens after the complaint deadline?
After 16 September 2026 at 4:00 PM, the CEE will review all complaints received and publish a final (corrected) category list. Candidates whose complaints are upheld will be added to the final list. The final list will be the basis for counselling and seat allocation for the Konkani Linguistic Minority quota.
If your complaint is rejected, you will be notified by the CEE. You will have the opportunity to appeal or seek clarification, but this must happen through the official channels specified by the CEE at that time. Do not assume silence means your complaint was accepted — follow up with the CEE if you do not receive confirmation.
- CEE reviews all complaints received by deadline
- Final category list published after review
- Final list used for counselling and seat allocation
- Rejected complaints will be communicated to candidates
Why your certificate might not be on the list
If your name does not appear on the provisional list, the most common reasons are: (1) you did not submit a caste/community certificate to the CEE at all, (2) you submitted it after the deadline, (3) the certificate was issued by an authority not recognized as 'competent' by the CEE (for example, a Gram Panchayat or a private organization), or (4) the certificate was found to be invalid or incomplete.
A 'competent revenue authority' typically means a Tahsildar, District Magistrate, or other official at the district or taluk level. Certificates from local bodies, schools, or non-government sources are not accepted. If you submitted a certificate but it was rejected, the CEE should have notified you — check your email and the KEAM portal for any communication from the authority.
- Certificate not submitted to CEE
- Certificate submitted after the deadline
- Certificate issued by non-competent authority (e.g., Gram Panchayat, school)
- Certificate found to be invalid or incomplete
- Candidate does not meet eligibility criteria for Konkani Linguistic Minority status

I applied for the Konkani Linguistic Minority quota but my name is not on the provisional list. What should I do?
First, log in to the KEAM-2026 Candidate Portal and check the 'Category list' menu to confirm your name is not there. If it is missing, email ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in immediately with your KEAM application number and full name, explaining that your name should be on the list. You must send this email by 16 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. After this deadline, no complaints are accepted. If you submitted a valid certificate, attach a copy to your email as proof.
What is a 'competent revenue authority' and where do I get a Konkani Linguistic Minority certificate?
A competent revenue authority is typically a Tahsildar, District Magistrate, or other official at the district or taluk level. To obtain a Konkani Linguistic Minority certificate, you must apply to the revenue office in your district with proof of your Konkani linguistic minority status (such as school records, birth certificate, or family documents showing Konkani as your mother tongue). The authority will issue the certificate if you meet the criteria. Certificates from Gram Panchayats, schools, or private organizations are not accepted by the CEE.
I submitted my certificate to the CEE before the deadline, but I am not on the provisional list. Why?
Your certificate may have been found invalid or incomplete by the CEE. Reasons include: the certificate was issued by a non-competent authority, it lacks required information, it does not clearly establish your Konkani linguistic minority status, or there was an administrative error. File a complaint by 16 September 2026 at 4:00 PM with your KEAM application number and name, and attach a copy of your certificate. The CEE will review your complaint and correct the list if warranted.
What happens if I miss the 16 September 2026, 4:00 PM complaint deadline?
If you miss this deadline, you cannot file a complaint about the provisional list. The CEE will publish the final category list based only on complaints received by the deadline. If your name is not on the final list and you did not complain in time, you will not be eligible for the Konkani Linguistic Minority quota, even if you believe you should have been included. This deadline is strict and there are no extensions.
Is this provisional list for MBBS or homoeopathy (BHMS)?
This provisional list is for homoeopathy (Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery, or BHMS) seats at Dr. Padiar Memorial Homoeopathic Medical College. It is not for MBBS seats. If you are seeking an MBBS seat, this quota does not apply to you. Check the KEAM portal for separate category lists for MBBS colleges.

Your email must include: (1) your KEAM application number, (2) your full name, and (3) a clear description of the error (e.g., 'My name should be on the list but is not' or 'My name appears with incorrect spelling'). If relevant, attach a copy of your valid caste/community certificate. Keep a copy of your email and the timestamp showing it was sent before 4:00 PM on 16 September 2026.
When will the final category list be published?

Check the KEAM portal and www.cee.kerala.gov.in regularly for updates. The final list will be used for counselling and seat allocation.
If my complaint is rejected, can I appeal?
The notice does not detail an appeal process. If your complaint is rejected, the CEE will notify you. At that time, you should contact the CEE helpline (0471-2332120 or 0471-2338487) to understand the reason for rejection and ask about any further options.
