If you registered for Kerala's state NEET UG counselling for MBBS, BDS or AYUSH seats, there's a short but important window open right now to fix errors in your application. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has activated a correction facility on its portal, cee.kerala.gov.in, allowing candidates to update specific details the system has flagged on their profile. This matters because small mistakes in nativity status or reservation category claims are a common reason seats get cancelled later in the process, sometimes after a candidate has already been allotted a college. With Round 1 counselling starting on August 13, 2026, this correction period is essentially the last safety net before allotment decisions are made.
Log in to cee.kerala.gov.in, open the Memo Details section, and correct only the fields CEE Kerala has flagged — with the right supporting document — before Round 1 counselling begins on August 13, 2026.
Who this correction window is for
This facility applies to candidates who registered for Kerala's state-level NEET UG counselling, which covers MBBS, BDS and AYUSH (Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Unani, Siddha) seats allotted through CEE Kerala. It is not for candidates dealing only with the central MCC counselling for AIQ (All India Quota) seats — this is specific to Kerala's state quota process.
The correction window does not let you edit anything you want. CEE Kerala reviews applications and flags only certain fields on each candidate's profile page under a section called 'Memo Details'. You can correct only what has been flagged for you specifically.
What can actually be corrected
The fields open for editing are largely identity and eligibility-related, not academic ones like NEET score or rank, which cannot be changed.
- Name, photograph and signature
- Nativity details (proof of being a Kerala native, relevant for state quota eligibility)
- Reservation category claims
- Fee concession claims
Why nativity and category errors are risky
Kerala's state quota seats are largely reserved for candidates who can prove domicile or nativity in the state, and many seats also carry caste, community or economic reservation benefits. If these details are wrong or unsupported by documents, a candidate can be provisionally allotted a seat during counselling rounds and then have that allotment cancelled at the document verification stage — after they may have already turned down other options or stopped preparing alternatives.
This is precisely why CEE Kerala's own advisory frames this window as the last realistic chance to fix such issues before Round 1 seat allotment is finalised.
Key dates to track
The correction window is running against a tight counselling calendar, so candidates should not delay making edits.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Correction window opens | August 4, 2026 |
| Round 1 counselling starts | August 13, 2026 |
| Round 1 counselling ends | August 22, 2026 |
| Last date to join Round 1 seat | August 28, 2026 |
| Document verification deadline | August 29, 2026 |
| Round 2 counselling window | August 31 – September 8, 2026 |
| Last date to join Round 2 seat | September 14, 2026 |
How to make the correction, step by step
The process is entirely online through the candidate login on the CEE Kerala portal. No physical or emailed documents will be accepted for these corrections — everything has to go through the portal upload system.
- Log in at cee.kerala.gov.in using your application number and registered password
- Go to the Memo Details section on your profile page to see exactly which fields have been flagged
- Have scanned copies of the relevant supporting certificates ready before you start (nativity certificate, category certificate, income certificate for fee concession, etc.)
- Enter the corrected information and upload the matching document for each flagged field
- Click Submit to save the correction — do this well ahead of August 13, not on the last day

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Can I change my NEET score or category from scratch using this window?
No. This window only allows edits to fields CEE Kerala has specifically flagged in the Memo Details section — typically name, photo, signature, nativity, reservation category and fee concession details. It is not a general re-application facility, and your NEET UG score/rank cannot be altered.
What happens if I don't correct a flagged error before Round 1?
Unresolved errors, especially in nativity or reservation category, can lead to your seat allotment being cancelled at the document verification stage even after Round 1 results are out. It's safer to fix flagged issues now than to risk losing an allotted seat later.
Can I send my correction documents by post or email instead of uploading them?
No. CEE Kerala has made clear that only uploads through the online candidate portal will be accepted; documents sent by post or email will not be considered.
Does this correction window apply to AIQ (All India Quota) seats as well?
No. This is specific to Kerala's state counselling for MBBS, BDS and AYUSH seats run by CEE Kerala. AIQ seats are handled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), with its own timelines and correction processes.
What is the last date to complete corrections?
CEE Kerala has not published a separate closing date for the correction window in its notice, but candidates are advised to complete edits well before Round 1 counselling starts on August 13, 2026, since flagged issues can affect your allotment.
What if I don't see any fields flagged in my Memo Details section?
If CEE Kerala has not flagged anything on your profile, it means no correction has been requested from you and you can proceed to Round 1 counselling as scheduled.
If you're in Kerala's NEET UG counselling pool, don't wait until the last week of the correction window — log in, check the Memo Details section today, and keep your nativity and category certificates ready to upload. Round 1 counselling starts August 13, 2026, and any unresolved flag on your profile could complicate or delay your seat confirmation.
