Government and aided seats, and the government / merit seats in self-financing colleges, are allotted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala through the KEAM centralised allotment (engineering on the KEAM rank; MBBS, BDS and AYUSH on the NEET-UG score, in the KEAM process). Management and NRI seats in self-financing colleges are filled by the college under the government's fee and admission rules. The KEAM last rank shown above is the closing rank of the last candidate allotted in each category — a lower number is a harder seat.
