How to Get Admission without KEAM 2025 Rank/ Score?

Admission without KEAM 2025: KEAM (Kerala Engineering, Architecture and Medical) is a state-level entrance examination conducted for granting admission to eligible candidates into the engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy courses in Kerala. Apart from the KEAM 2025 exam, there is no other similar examination in Kerala for granting admission into the Kerala engineering colleges. However, admissions are also granted based on the national-level engineering entrance examination JEE Main.

Every year more than 90,000 candidates appear for the KEAM entrance examination. With such a high level of competition, securing a seat in a top Kerala Engineering College with the desired branch can become a difficult task for the candidates. Many students who are unable to perform well in KEAM end up asking questions such as whether they can pursue their desired course with a low rank in KEAM or not.

Students who are unable to secure admission in the institutes through entrance examinations can opt for direct admission via management quota. Check this article for the details of direct admission to Kerala Engineering Colleges via KEAM 2025 .

How to Get Admission without a KEAM Scorecard or Rank?

Students who are aspiring to get admission to top Engineering colleges in Kerala but do not have a good KEAM scorecard or rank need not worry. They can still apply for admission to engineering courses in a good college of their choice. Various top private engineering colleges in Kerala reserve seats for direct admission. These reserved seats come under the management quota. However, only a few seats are available under management quota and seats are allotted on a First Come First Serve basis. So students who want to get admission under the management quota must apply as early as possible and grab a seat in the college and branch of their choice.
