(Candidates are eligible only if they have at least 50th percentile. Meanwhile, candidates from Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Other Backward Class communities need only 40th percentile. It is 45th percentile for persons with disabilities).
Those who are included in medical rank list can apply for all courses except Homeopathy, Siddha and Unani (only 20 marks in NEET is required to get eligibility for these courses. However, there is no minimum marks restriction for Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Other Backward Class communities).
Participating institutions
The CEE would conduct the allotment to 15% seats for Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Siddha and Unani graduate courses at self-financed colleges, irrespective of the candidate’s hometown. All Indians are eligible for these seats.
Government, aided, private and self–financing colleges are included in the admission process. Reservation as per guidelines is available.
Fees to be paid
Those who get allotment to government and aided colleges should pay the entire tuition fee in the name of 'The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations' (CEE).
Meanwhile, the candidates who are admitted in self-financing colleges should pay Rs 1 lakh in the CEE's name and the rest of the amount at the college. The amount that is given in the allotment memo could be paid in the CEE's name via online or at the head post offices anywhere in Kerala.
The candidates should join the college only after paying the fee.
There is no tuition fee for candidates of Scheduled Caste/Tribe communities, Other Eligible Categories, wards of fisherfolk and residents of Sree Chitra Poor Home/Nirbhaya Home. However, they should pay Rs 1,000 as token amount in the CEE's name.
Revision of options
The options could be revised, multiple times, until 5 pm on 9 February. The chance in this stream would be lost if the candidate doesn’t join the allotted college within 4 pm on 17 February. However, they can still apply for MBBS and BDS courses. Aspirants whose results have been held back in the rank list too can submit options. They would be considered for allotment if they rectify the mistakes and submit the necessary documents within 5 pm on 8 February.
Tips to note while option submission
The aspirants should be careful while opting for the various courses and colleges in the order of preference, after considering their spot in the rank list and scope for admission. The parents too should be part of this decision. Fee is a significant feature here. It is impossible to move to a lower option after a higher option has been allotted. The candidate could never get such an option even if there are vacant seats. So, it is better to avoid a situation where a higher option with unaffordable fee is chosen and then unable to change it.
The guidelines and regulations should be clearly studied before submitting options.
