KEAM Rank List 2025: CEE Kerala Result, Admission Reform

This is a groundbreaking decision of the Kerala government against educational inequality to establish a wholesome mark normalisation system of Kerala engineering, architecture medical (KEAM) entrance examination. The implementation of this revolutionary change will also do away with systematic disadvantage in state syllabus students in engineering admissions.

The approval on Monday by the State Cabinet of the revised system of calculating the marks in the KEAM result 2025 is a big success for thousands of students who studied in the Kerala state board and who had been facing hardship against the unfair mark calculation system. The ruling is directly based on the continuous complaints by students and parents on the ensuing KEAM rank list 2025 preparation.

Educationalists have given a warm welcome to this KEAM 2025 reform as a major step toward the establishment of authentic merit-based admissions. The earlier regime was unwittingly discriminating against students following state syllabus, and it was a level playing field where academic excellence was not rewarded in equal terms among various high school boards, leading to the KEAM result 2025.

The crux of the Kerala engineering entrance system was on the method of combining marks between the various educational boards with the KEAM scores. The students of the state syllabus used to lose 15-20 marks in the normalisation process, especially in important subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

This difference in KEAM mark normalisation implied that otherwise competent students of the Kerala state board were thus subjected to unfair competition vis-a-vis their competitors taking CBSE and ICSE exams. Mathematical bias in the system was depriving deserving candidates of their rights to good institutes of engineering all across the state.Official records of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations indicated that thousands of students were being denied admission or differentiated, every year, because of this systematic bias, and reforms were urgently needed to normalise marking in KEAM.
