If you're a Kerala candidate hoping to study MBBS, BDS or an AYUSH course through KEAM 2026, there's a small but important deadline change you need to know about. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has extended the window to submit your NEET UG 2026 score and to correct your KEAM application from August 10 (12 noon) to August 13, 2026. This step is not optional — it's how CEE Kerala builds the state rank list that decides who gets called for medical counselling. Anyone who applied for a KEAM medical seat but skips this submission simply won't appear in that rank list, no matter how good their NEET score is.
KEAM medical applicants in Kerala must log in to cee.kerala.gov.in and submit their NEET UG 2026 score (and make any needed corrections) by August 13, 2026, or they will be left out of the state medical rank list entirely.
What exactly changed
CEE Kerala originally set August 10, 2026, 12 noon as the last moment to submit NEET UG 2026 scores and to correct KEAM application details. That has now been pushed to August 13, 2026, giving candidates three extra days.
The extension covers both facilities together — score submission and application correction — so students don't have to track two separate deadlines. The change was communicated through CEE Kerala's official Notification No. 182.
Who this applies to
This facility is not for every KEAM candidate. It is meant only for those who applied for medical or allied medical seats (MBBS, BDS, AYUSH streams) under KEAM 2026 and who have also qualified NEET UG 2026. Candidates who applied only for engineering or pharmacy seats through KEAM do not need to touch this facility at all — their admission does not depend on NEET marks.
- Applicable courses: MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and other allied medical programmes
- Must have applied for a KEAM 2026 medical seat
- Must hold a valid, qualifying NEET UG 2026 result
- Engineering/pharmacy-only KEAM applicants: not required to submit NEET score
How to submit your score and make corrections
Both processes happen entirely online through the KEAM candidate portal on cee.kerala.gov.in. Keep your NEET UG 2026 scorecard (roll number, marks, All India Rank) at hand before you log in.
For score submission: log in with your application number and password, open the NEET score submission section, enter your roll number, marks and All India Rank, check everything on the preview screen, then submit and download the acknowledgement page — this is your proof, so save it.
For corrections: use the same login, open the correction tab, and edit only the fields the system marks as editable. If a correction needs a document re-upload, do that before saving. Download the updated application copy once you're done.
Why this small step matters so much
It's easy to underestimate a data-entry step like this, but CEE Kerala has been clear that there will be no offline submissions and no late entries accepted after the window shuts. A qualified NEET score means nothing to the Kerala state rank list if it was never formally submitted through the portal.
In practical terms: two students could have identical NEET UG 2026 marks, but only the one who submitted the score on the KEAM portal by the deadline will be ranked and eligible for counselling calls to Kerala's government and private medical, dental and AYUSH colleges. The other would have to fall back entirely on the All India Quota or other state counselling processes, if eligible.

What comes next in Kerala's counselling timeline
Once the submission and correction window closes on August 13, CEE Kerala is expected to release the state rank list for medical seats, which will feed directly into Round 1 counselling and choice filling. Candidates should keep checking cee.kerala.gov.in regularly over the following days rather than waiting for a separate announcement, since state counselling timelines tend to move quickly once the rank list is out.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What is the new deadline for NEET score submission under KEAM 2026?
August 13, 2026. The earlier cut-off of August 10 at 12 noon has been extended by three days for both score submission and application correction.
Who needs to submit their NEET score on the KEAM portal?
Only candidates who applied for a KEAM 2026 medical seat (MBBS, BDS or AYUSH) and who have qualified NEET UG 2026. Pure engineering or pharmacy KEAM applicants don't need to do this.
What happens if I miss the August 13 deadline?
You will not be included in the Kerala state medical rank list, which means no counselling calls for Kerala government or private MBBS, BDS or AYUSH seats through this process. CEE Kerala has said no late or offline submissions will be entertained.
Can I correct my KEAM application details along with submitting my NEET score?
Yes. The correction facility is open in the same window, using the same portal login, but only fields marked editable by the system can be changed.
Where do I submit my NEET UG 2026 score for KEAM?
On the official CEE Kerala portal at cee.kerala.gov.in, through the KEAM candidate login using your application number and password.
Does this affect my All India Quota (AIQ) counselling chances?
No, this is specific to Kerala's state counselling for KEAM medical seats. Your AIQ counselling through MCC is a separate process with its own schedule and registration.
What should I keep as proof after submitting?
Download and save the acknowledgement page generated after submission, and the updated application copy if you made corrections. Keep both for your records in case of any discrepancy later.
If you or someone in your family applied for a KEAM 2026 medical seat in Kerala, don't leave this task for the last hour — log in to cee.kerala.gov.in, submit your NEET UG 2026 score, fix any application errors, and download the acknowledgement well before August 13. Once that's done, watch the portal for the state rank list and Round 1 counselling schedule, which are expected to follow soon after.
