If you applied for a medical seat through KEAM (Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical exam) this year, there's a small but critical step you cannot skip: submitting your NEET UG 2026 score directly on the Kerala CEE (Commissioner for Entrance Examinations) portal. This is separate from your KEAM application and separate from your NEET result itself — it's a data-entry step that tells Kerala's counselling authority to include you in its state rank list. The window is open now at cee.kerala.gov.in, and the deadline is fixed for 12 noon on August 10, 2026. For any NEET-qualified aspirant hoping for an MBBS, BDS or AYUSH seat under Kerala's state quota, this is a non-negotiable checkbox before counselling can even begin.
KEAM medical aspirants who qualified NEET UG 2026 must submit their score on cee.kerala.gov.in by 12 noon on August 10, 2026, or they will be left out of Kerala's state medical rank list entirely.
Why this extra step exists
Many states that run their own state quota counselling for medical seats — Kerala among them — do not automatically pull your NEET UG score into their system. Because NEET UG is a national, centrally conducted exam and KEAM is a separate state-level application process, the two records don't link up on their own.
Kerala's CEE has therefore built a bridge: candidates who registered for KEAM medical courses and separately cleared NEET UG 2026 must manually feed their NEET score details into the CEE portal. Only after this is done can the CEE prepare a Kerala-specific state rank list that determines seat allotment.
Who exactly needs to submit
This window is not for every NEET UG candidate or every KEAM candidate — it applies only where both conditions are true at the same time.
- You must have filed a KEAM 2026 application specifically for medical courses (not KEAM engineering).
- You must have qualified NEET UG 2026 with a valid score/rank.
- If you applied only for KEAM engineering, this submission does not apply to you.
- If you did not clear NEET UG 2026, you cannot use this window regardless of your KEAM application status.

How to complete the submission
The process itself is short, but small errors in entering your roll number, score or rank can cause problems later, so it's worth doing calmly rather than in a last-minute rush on August 10.
- Go to cee.kerala.gov.in and log in with your KEAM 2026 application number and password.
- Find the NEET UG 2026 result submission link on your candidate dashboard.
- Keep your NEET UG 2026 scorecard open separately and enter the roll number, score and rank exactly as printed.
- Double-check every field before hitting final submit — corrections after submission may not be straightforward.
- Download and save the NEET Result Submission Report as proof; you may need it later.
- Do not post a printed copy or upload a scorecard image — only the online data entry is treated as valid.
What happens if you miss the deadline
The consequence of skipping this step is serious and, based on the information released so far, not something CEE has indicated it will relax. Any candidate who fails to submit within the window will simply not appear in the Kerala state medical rank list.
Since this rank list is the single basis on which both government and self-financing medical colleges in Kerala allot state quota seats, being absent from it effectively removes you from state quota counselling altogether — irrespective of how strong your original NEET UG rank was.
What comes next after August 10
Once the submission window closes, CEE will process all the scores it has received and compile the Kerala state medical rank list. This list feeds directly into Round 1 of KEAM medical counselling, so candidates should expect the rank list and the counselling schedule to follow in fairly quick succession after the deadline.
Aspirants should keep checking cee.kerala.gov.in regularly through this period rather than waiting for a separate announcement, since counselling authorities often update schedules with short notice.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Do I need to submit my NEET UG score if I only applied for KEAM engineering?
No. This submission window is only for candidates who applied for KEAM medical courses and separately qualified NEET UG 2026.
What if I qualified NEET UG but never applied for KEAM medical courses?
You cannot use this window either — both conditions (KEAM medical application and NEET UG 2026 qualification) must be met together.
Is uploading my NEET UG scorecard on the portal required?
No. CEE has clarified that only the online data entry of your NEET UG details counts; uploading a scorecard copy or sending a printed report by post is not needed.
What exactly happens if I miss the August 10 noon deadline?
Your name will not be included in Kerala's state medical rank list, which means you will not be considered for MBBS, BDS, AYUSH or allied medical seat allotment under Kerala's state quota counselling.
Where do I log in to submit my score?
At cee.kerala.gov.in, using the same KEAM 2026 application number and password you used to apply for KEAM.
When will the Kerala state medical rank list and counselling schedule be released?
Both are expected after the August 10 submission deadline closes and CEE processes the data, though an exact date has not been separately announced — keep watching the official CEE Kerala website.
If you're a KEAM medical applicant who cleared NEET UG 2026, log in to cee.kerala.gov.in well before the August 10 noon cut-off, enter your score details carefully, and save the confirmation report. Then keep an eye on the same portal for the state rank list and Round 1 counselling schedule that will follow.
