The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) in Kerala has announced the Phase 2 seat allotment results for MBBS and BDS programmes across government, government-aided, private self-financing, and captation-fee institutions in the state. If you have received an allotment, you now have a critical three-day window to complete your joining formalities. Missing this deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat and disqualification from any further counselling rounds in Kerala for this year.
All allotted candidates must report to their assigned college and complete joining by September 19, 2026, or forfeit their seat permanently.
What Happened: Phase 2 Allotment Released
On September 16, 2026, Kerala's CEE released the Phase 2 allotment results for medical and dental admissions. This round covers MBBS and BDS seats across all categories of colleges in the state—government institutions, government-controlled colleges, private self-financing colleges, and those charging captation fees.
Candidates can access their allotment memo by logging into the official CEE Kerala portal at cee.kerala.gov.in using their application number and password. The memo contains essential information: the name of your allotted college, the course (MBBS or BDS), your admission category, and the total fee you must pay at that institution.
The September 19 Joining Deadline: Why It Matters
This is not a soft deadline. Candidates who have been allotted a seat must physically report to their college and complete all joining formalities on or before September 19, 2026. This is a hard cutoff set by the state counselling authority.
If you fail to join within this window, your allotted seat will be cancelled immediately, and you will lose eligibility for any further counselling phases or mop-up rounds in Kerala for the 2026 admission cycle. This means if you miss the deadline, you cannot participate in stray vacancy rounds or any subsequent allotment process in the state.
How to Download and Verify Your Allotment Memo
The process is straightforward but must be done promptly. Visit cee.kerala.gov.in and log into the KEAM 2026 candidate portal using your application number and password. Once logged in, locate the Phase 2 allotment memo link on your dashboard and click it to download.
Before you do anything else, verify every detail on the memo: the college name, the course assigned (MBBS or BDS), your admission category, and the total fee payable. Any discrepancy should be flagged immediately by contacting the CEE helpline, though such corrections are rare at this stage.
- Visit cee.kerala.gov.in and open the KEAM 2026 candidate portal
- Log in using your application number and password
- Click the Phase 2 allotment memo link
- Verify college, course, category, and fee details
- Download and print the memo for your records and college submission
Documents You Must Carry to Your College
When you report to your allotted college on or before September 19, bring all original documents along with two sets of self-attested photocopies. Colleges are strict about document verification, and incomplete submissions can delay or complicate your admission.
The list includes your Phase 2 allotment memo, NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, transfer certificate and conduct certificate from your last school, nativity and community certificates (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), Aadhaar card, and recent passport-size photographs. Organize these in advance so you do not scramble at the last moment.
- KEAM 2026 Phase 2 allotment memo (original and copies)
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
- Transfer certificate and conduct certificate from your school
- Nativity, community, and income certificates (where applicable)
- Aadhaar card
- Recent passport-size photographs (4–6 copies recommended)
Fee Payment for Self-Financing and Captation-Fee Colleges
If you have been allotted a seat in a private self-financing or captation-fee college, you will need to pay the balance fee amount shown in your allotment memo directly to the college at the time of joining. The college will specify the accepted payment mode—this could be online transfer, demand draft, or cash, depending on the institution's policy.
Do not assume all colleges accept the same payment method. Contact your allotted college in advance to confirm the exact mode of payment and any bank details or instructions. This prevents delays on your joining day and ensures your admission is processed smoothly.
What Happens After Phase 2: Stray Vacancy Rounds
Phase 2 is the final centralised allotment round before any stray or mop-up counselling. After September 19, if seats remain unfilled in any college, the CEE may announce a stray vacancy round for candidates who did not secure a seat in Phase 2 or who wish to upgrade their college or course.
If you are not allotted in Phase 2 or if you choose not to join, monitor cee.kerala.gov.in closely for notifications about stray rounds. These rounds typically have shorter registration and joining windows, so staying alert is essential. However, stray rounds are not guaranteed and depend on the number of vacant seats.
Step-by-Step Action Plan for Allotted Candidates
To avoid any last-minute confusion or missed deadlines, follow this structured plan immediately after checking your allotment result. First, log into cee.kerala.gov.in and download your Phase 2 allotment memo. Verify all details on the memo and note the college address and reporting instructions.
Next, gather all original certificates and prepare two sets of self-attested copies. Confirm the fee amount and payment mode with your allotted college by phone or email. Arrange the fee in the accepted mode and plan your travel to the college. Finally, report to the college on or before September 19, 2026, complete all admission formalities, and obtain a receipt or confirmation of admission.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. Do not assume your allotment memo is correct without verifying it—errors in college name, course, or category do happen. Do not delay gathering documents; colleges will not wait, and incomplete submissions can result in rejection. Do not miss the September 19 deadline by even one day; the system is automated and will cancel your seat at midnight on that date.
Do not assume all colleges accept online payment; confirm the mode in advance. Do not travel to the college without confirming the exact reporting location and time, as some colleges have multiple campuses. Finally, do not ignore notifications from the CEE or your college; important updates about fee payment, hostel allotment, or document submission may be communicated via email or SMS.
