If you registered for Kerala's state NEET UG counselling for MBBS and BDS seats, your Round 1 provisional seat allotment is now live on the CEE Kerala portal. This is the stage where you find out which college, course and quota you have been tentatively matched to — but it isn't final yet, and there's a narrow window to flag any errors before it is locked in. Missing that window can mean living with a mistake in your allotment for the rest of the admission cycle. Here's what the dates mean and what you need to do right now.
Kerala NEET UG 2026 candidates have only until August 26 to object to their Round 1 provisional allotment before it becomes final on August 27, so check every detail on your allotment memo immediately.
What has actually happened
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, the body that conducts state-level counselling for MBBS, BDS and other medical courses using NEET UG scores, has published the Round 1 provisional allotment for 2026 on its official portal, cee.kerala.gov.in.
This provisional list shows each candidate's tentative allotted college, course and category/quota based on their NEET UG rank, preferences filled during option registration, and eligibility. It is not the final word — candidates get a short period to point out discrepancies before CEE locks in the final Round 1 result.
Key dates to note
The counselling timeline this round is tight, so mark these dates clearly rather than relying on memory.

How to check your allotment and what to verify
Log in to the KEAM 2026 candidate portal on cee.kerala.gov.in using your application number and password, then open the Round 1 provisional allotment tab. Download the allotment memo and go through it line by line rather than just glancing at the college name.
Pay close attention to the branch (MBBS vs BDS), the quota under which you've been allotted (state merit, reservation category, management, NRI, etc.), and whether your category and nativity status have been correctly recorded. Errors here can affect fee structure, eligibility for further rounds, and even your seat validity.
- Confirm the allotted college and course match your actual preference order
- Check that your category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD, if applicable) is recorded correctly
- Verify your Kerala nativity/domicile status if you claimed a state quota seat
- Cross-check your NEET UG rank and roll number against the allotment memo
If you spot an error: how to object
CEE Kerala accepts objections only by email, and only until August 26, 2026 — there is no provision to raise concerns after the final allotment is published on August 27.
Write a clear, specific email describing the discrepancy, quote your KEAM 2026 application number and roll number, attach supporting documents (such as category certificates or mark sheets) that back your claim, and send it to the official CEE email address (ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in) before the deadline. Keep a copy of your email as proof of having raised the issue on time.
Documents to keep ready before reporting
Once the final Round 1 allotment is out on August 27 and reporting opens on August 28, allotted candidates will need to carry both originals and self-attested photocopies for verification at the institution.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets
- Transfer certificate and conduct certificate from your last school
- Nativity certificate, if claiming a Kerala domicile-based seat
- Category certificate, where reservation is being claimed
- Income certificate, where relevant for reservation benefits
- Two recent passport-size photographs
- Admission fee amount for the allotted college, arranged in advance
