The revised KEAM exam pattern states that rather than two, from this year there will be a single paper to be conducted in computer-based test mode. A total of 150 questions of 600 marks will be asked where Mathematics comprises 75 questions, Physics will have 45 questions and Chemistry will have 30 questions for the engineering stream. All the questions have to be finished in 180 minutes.
To be eligible for KEAM, candidates must score at least 50% marks in class 10+2 where a relaxation of 5 to 10% is granted to the candidates from reserved categories.
KEAM is an objective exam with questions in Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) based on a and a single response answering method. Each question provides five optional answers, out of which only one is the correct response.
KEAM will be conducted online.
