The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) has announced a crucial update for candidates of the Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical Entrance Examination (KEAM) 2026. In light of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly affecting travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), candidates are now permitted to change their exam centres.
Many candidates who initially selected Sharjah in the UAE as their exam centre are encountering significant challenges in making travel arrangements. Recognizing these difficulties, the CEE has introduced a one-time facility that enables candidates to modify their exam centre selections. This decision aims to alleviate the stress and logistical issues faced by students during these turbulent times.
Admit Card Release Postponed
Due to the implementation of this centre change facility, the release date for the KEAM 2026 admit card has been postponed. Originally set for April 1, the new date for the issuance of hall tickets is now April 8. This delay is intended to ensure that all candidates have ample time to finalize their exam centre choices before the admit cards are distributed.
Final Opportunity for Centre Changes
The CEE has made it clear that this will be the final opportunity for candidates to change their exam centres. No further extensions will be granted, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the deadlines set forth by the examination authority. Candidates are strongly encouraged to complete the modification process promptly to avoid any complications.
Eligibility for Centre Change
To facilitate a smooth transition for those needing to change their exam centres, the CEE has specified certain categories of candidates eligible for this option. It is essential for candidates to review these categories carefully to ensure they qualify for the centre change.
Steps to Update Exam Centre
For candidates looking to update their exam centre, the CEE has outlined a straightforward process. Here’s how candidates can make the necessary changes:
- Visit the official CEE website.
