Kerala's Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) has published the provisional special stray vacancy allotment for MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026–27 academic year. This allotment fills vacant seats in government and private self-financing medical and dental colleges across Kerala. The list is based on the online options candidates registered until 6 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. If you applied for these remaining seats, you can now check whether you have been allotted a college. However, this is a provisional list — you have until 8 November at 1:00 PM to report any errors or complaints, after which the final allotment will be published.
Check your provisional allotment on the CEE portal immediately; if there is an error, email your complaint by 1 PM on 8 November 2026, or you will lose the chance to correct it.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Special Stray Vacancy Allotment?
The special stray vacancy allotment is a final round of seat allocation in Kerala's MBBS and BDS counselling. It fills seats that remain vacant after all previous counselling rounds. These are the last available seats in government and private self-financing medical and dental colleges in Kerala for the 2026–27 batch.
This round is called 'stray' because it captures leftover seats — seats that candidates did not accept in earlier rounds, or seats that colleges did not fill. If you did not get a seat in the main counselling rounds but registered your preferences for this special round, you are now in contention for these final vacancies.
How to Check Your Provisional Allotment
Your provisional allotment is now live on the CEE Kerala website. To view it, go to www.cee.kerala.gov.in and log into the 'KEAM 2026 – Candidate Portal' using your credentials (registration number and password). Once logged in, click on the menu item 'Allotment List' to see whether you have been allotted a seat and which college and course you have been assigned.
The allotment is based on your merit rank, your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, or other reserved category), and the preferences you registered online. The list shows your provisional seat — but remember, it is not final yet. Errors can occur during data entry or processing, and the CEE is giving you a window to report them.
- Visit www.cee.kerala.gov.in
- Log into 'KEAM 2026 – Candidate Portal'
- Click 'Allotment List'
- Check your name, rank, allotted college, course, and category
Critical Deadline: Report Errors by 1 PM on 8 November 2026
This is the most important deadline in this notice. If you find any error in your provisional allotment — whether it is a wrong name, wrong rank, wrong category, wrong college, or any other mistake — you must report it immediately. The CEE will accept complaints only until 1:00 PM on 8 November 2026. After that time, no complaints will be entertained.
Do not assume the error will be corrected on its own or that you can fix it later. Once the final allotment is published (after 8 November), the provisional list is locked. If you miss this deadline, you will be stuck with an incorrect allotment, and it may cost you your seat or force you into a college you did not choose.
The CEE has made it clear: 'the provisional result is only indicative in nature and subject to change.' This means errors are possible, and it is your responsibility to catch and report them now.

How to Lodge a Complaint About Your Allotment
To report an error, send an email to ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in with the following details: your name, registration number, the error you found, and what the correct information should be. Be specific — for example, if your category is wrong, state what it should be and provide proof (your category certificate number or a screenshot of your application). Keep your email brief and factual.
Send your complaint well before 1:00 PM on 8 November 2026. Do not wait until the last minute — email servers can be slow, and the CEE will not accept complaints received after the deadline, even if you sent them before. If you have multiple errors, list them all in one email.
After the CEE receives and reviews all valid complaints, it will publish the final allotment. Only after the final allotment is published will you know for certain which college and course you have been allotted.
- Email: ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in
- Include: your name, registration number, the error, and the correct information
- Deadline: 1:00 PM on 8 November 2026
- Provide proof or evidence of the error if possible
What Happens After the Final Allotment is Published?
Once the CEE has addressed all valid complaints, it will publish the final allotment. This final list will be the official record of who has been allotted which seat. If your name appears in the final allotment, you are entitled to that seat, and you must join the college as instructed.
The CEE will then publish a joining schedule — a timetable that tells you when and where to report to your allotted college to complete admission formalities (document verification, fee payment, hostel registration, etc.). You must follow this schedule strictly. If you do not join by the deadline, your seat may be cancelled, and it will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
- Final allotment will be published after 8 November 2026
- A joining schedule will be published separately
- You must join your allotted college as per the joining schedule
- Failure to join on time may result in cancellation of your seat
Important: This is a Provisional List — It Can Change
The CEE has explicitly stated that 'the provisional result is only indicative in nature and subject to change.' This means the list you see now is not final. Errors may be corrected, complaints may be upheld, and the final allotment may differ from the provisional one. Do not celebrate or make final plans until the final allotment is published.
However, this does not mean the allotment is unreliable. It means you should check it carefully, report any errors you find, and wait for the final version. The provisional list is a snapshot based on the options you registered and your merit rank — it is a strong indicator of your likely seat, but not a guarantee until it is finalized.
Colleges Covered in This Allotment
The special stray vacancy allotment covers vacant seats in both government and private self-financing medical and dental colleges in Kerala. This includes MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses. The seats are in colleges across the state, and your allotment depends on your merit rank, category, and the preferences you registered.

See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
If you have been allotted a seat, check the college name, location, and course carefully. Make sure it matches your preferences and that you are willing to join. If you have been allotted a college you did not prefer or cannot join, you may have the option to decline during the joining process, but this will forfeit your seat.
Who is Eligible for This Allotment?
You are eligible for the special stray vacancy allotment if you: (1) qualified in NEET UG 2026, (2) registered for KEAM 2026 counselling in Kerala, (3) did not get a seat in the main counselling rounds, and (4) registered your preferences for this special stray vacancy round by the deadline (6 November 2026 at 5:00 PM).
The allotment is open to candidates of all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories — as per Kerala's reservation policy. Your category must be verified and approved by the CEE at the time of counselling registration. If your category certificate is invalid or not recognized, you will be placed in the General category, which may affect your allotment.
- Qualified in NEET UG 2026
- Registered for KEAM 2026 counselling
- Did not get a seat in main counselling rounds
- Registered preferences for special stray vacancy round by 6 November 2026, 5:00 PM
- Category certificate verified and approved by CEE
Common Mistakes That Get Allotments Rejected or Cancelled
One of the most common mistakes is missing the complaint deadline. If you find an error in your provisional allotment but do not report it by 1:00 PM on 8 November 2026, you cannot correct it later. The final allotment will be published with the error, and you will be stuck with an incorrect seat or no seat at all.
Another critical mistake is not joining on time. Once the final allotment is published and a joining schedule is announced, you must report to your allotted college by the deadline. If you are late or do not show up, your seat will be cancelled. The CEE will not hold your seat if you miss the joining date.
A third mistake is providing false or incomplete information during registration. If your name, date of birth, category, or NEET roll number is incorrect in the system, your allotment may be invalid. Always verify your registration details before the counselling round begins.
Finally, do not ignore the allotment list thinking you will not get a seat. Check it immediately. Even if you think you are not eligible or did not register, it is worth checking — data entry errors happen, and you do not want to miss a seat because you assumed you were not allotted one.
- Missing the complaint deadline (1 PM, 8 November 2026)
- Not joining by the joining schedule deadline
- Providing false or incomplete information during registration
- Ignoring the allotment list and not checking your status
- Declining a seat without understanding the consequences
