The KEAM entrance exam, administered by the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, is a state-level test for engineering and pharmacy programs. However, candidates seeking admission to medical, allied medical, or agricultural courses are exempt from taking the KEAM exam. Instead, their selection will be based on their scores in the NEET (UG)-2024 exam, which is a national-level entrance test. This means that Kerala does not conduct a separate state-level entrance exam for medical admissions.
