The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has released the admit cards of KEAM 2025 for those appearing in Kerala’s Engineering and Pharmacy entrance examinations. The admit cards are now available on the official website of CEE Kerala by logging into the portal with application number and password. The admit card is an important document and should be produced in printed form at the examination center for verification.

The KEAM 2025 entrance examinations will be conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format. A recent update from CEE Kerala has also brought changes in the examination schedule. The new dates for the CBT now range from April 23 to April 29, 2025. The engineering examination will be administered daily from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with candidates required to arrive at least two hours in advance at the examination centre to undergo all required verification processes.

For pharmacy candidates, the test has been scheduled in more than one session. Session I will take place between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm, and Session II between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm. Nevertheless, on the final day of the test, the pharmacy paper will be organized between 10:00 am and 11:30 am. The detailed timetable enables the candidates to be more prepared and plan their time well for the respective sessions.

Downloading the admit card is simple. Candidates are required to log in to the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, and then click on the candidate login option provided on the homepage. They can log in using the right login credentials — application number and password — to view their profile page. A menu option that reads ‘Admit Card’ will be visible on the profile page. By selecting this option, candidates can download their hall tickets and are requested to save a hard copy for future needs, particularly for verification at the exam centre.

But not all applicants will be able to download their admit cards instantly. The CEE has clarified that admit cards will be made available only to candidates who have successfully applied for either the engineering or pharmacy streams. A number of requirements must be fulfilled for successful release of admit cards. Candidates with an error in the photographs or signatures uploaded on their application, having not submitted Class X certificate, or having paid only half the application fee will not be entitled to receive their admit cards until errors are rectified.

To assist candidates in addressing such problems, a special ‘Memo Details’ section has been provided on the candidate portal. The candidates can refer to this section to verify discrepancies or incomplete documents highlighted by the system. If any discrepancy is found, candidates must re-upload the correct documents and fulfill all pending formalities on or before the last date of April 21, 2025, by 4:00 pm. Not doing so will lead to the candidate not getting their admit card and being disqualified to appear for the KEAM 2025 test.

The KEAM test is an important entry point for students who wish to pursue undergraduate engineering and pharmacy courses in Kerala. Due to the high degree of competition, proper documentation and following guidelines are essential for a hassle-free examination process. With the issuance of the admit cards, candidates are now at the threshold of their academic aspirations. They are requested to carefully go through the instructions given on the admit card and be on the lookout for any more notifications on the official CEE Kerala website.

When the exam countdown begins, candidates are requested to see to it that their documents are complete, know the exam dates and pattern, and concentrate on last-minute revision. The KEAM 2025 is as much a test of preparedness as of knowledge and attention to detail — both beginning with something as basic as holding a valid admit card.
