The entrance examinations were conducted from April 17 to 22 across 192 examination centres in Kerala. In addition to centres within the state, examinations were also held in Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Gulf countries to facilitate candidates appearing from outside Kerala.

Students can view the results in the official portal of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), where the normalised scores secured by candidates were published in May. The KEAM exams were held from April 17 to 22 for Engineering courses and from April 18 to 20 for pharmacy courses.

The results, which were scheduled to be declared on June 22, were postponed after students and parents approached the higher education minister seeking more time to add marks following the CBSE re-evaluation.

The CBSE had declared the re-evaluation results on Sunday. As the results were released in phases, over 87% of the total applications received were declared on Sunday. Recently, CBSE had come under scrutiny after students found irregularities and mismatches in the On-screen marking system.
