Choose the right admission route
Read the prospectus for the exact programme: undergraduate AYUSH, PG Ayurveda and PG Homoeopathy may have separate application and option-registration notices.
Central counselling
Use the AACCC ug stream for the institutions and seat categories included in its current bulletin. A state application does not register you with AACCC.
Kerala admission
Check the separate authority notice for the exact course, quota and session. State, institutional and nomination processes must be identified before paying a fee.
The name of a state in this directory does not confirm that a local college, a specific course or an independent counselling round is available there. Establish that from the current official seat matrix.
Dates, rounds and reporting
The current round schedule must come from the official Kerala notice for UG. This guide does not label an old announcement as a live registration window.
| Stage | Record these details |
|---|---|
| Registration and payment | Opening date, separate form/payment closing times and transaction confirmation. |
| Verification and corrections | Online or physical mode, deficiency deadline and revised eligibility list. |
| Choice filling and locking | Available choices, edit window, locking method and saved preference receipt. |
| Allotment | Provisional versus final result, allotted course/college and required acceptance action. |
| Reporting and joining | Location, date, exact time, original documents, fee payment and joining receipt. |
| Next round | Fresh registration eligibility, retained choices, upgrade/exit conditions and vacancy list. |
Read revised notices before acting. Registration, choice locking and reporting can close at different times on the same day.

| NEET Qualification | Must qualify NEET UG 2026 (50% in PCB for General, 40% for SC/ST/OBC). |
Domicile, category and seat eligibility
Before adding a Kerala preference, identify which seat pool you are applying to. A college can have more than one admission route, and the conditions may differ.
- Find the quota and category labels in the official seat matrix.
- Read the matching residence, schooling, institutional or service conditions in the bulletin.
- Check the issuing authority, validity period and format for each claimed certificate.
- Confirm whether an outside-state candidate can apply to that specific seat pool.
Do not assume a fixed reservation percentage or a universal “open state” rule. If a certificate is pending, follow the stated deficiency or correction process rather than assuming it can be submitted after allotment.

Counselling Process (Step-by-Step)
Kerala AYUSH Counselling is primarily conducted via the CEE KEAM portal.
KEAM Online Registration
Register through KEAM 2026 on the CEE Kerala portal. Upload necessary nativity/domicile and category documents and pay the application fee.
Submission of NEET Score
After NTA declares NEET results, candidates must log into the CEE portal to submit their NEET Roll Number, Score, and AIR.
AYUSH Rank List
CEE will publish the Kerala AYUSH State Rank list based on the submitted NEET scores. NK-II candidates are listed under the 15% private quota.
Choice Filling (Option Entry)
Fill choices for preferred colleges and courses through the Centralized Allotment Process (CAP). Save and lock your choices.
Allotment & Admission
Download the allotment memo. Report to the allotted medical college with original documents and pay the requisite fees.
Fees: build a complete admission budget
Source edition: 2026 reference edition. Confirm any revised rules in the official bulletin.
KEAM Registration Fee
Candidates must pay a non-refundable registration fee to participate in the KEAM AYUSH Counselling process.
| Category | Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| General (Kerala origin) | ₹500/- |
| SC/ST (Kerala origin) | ₹200/- |
| Other-State Candidates (NK I & NK II) | ₹500/- |
Compare colleges and courses
Shortlist by the course you want to study, then compare government/private ownership, location, clinical exposure, the total cost and the actual seat category. Do not rank a college only by its name or an unofficial intake total.
Use the current college-wise matrix and relevant permissions. A college appearing in an older list does not confirm that all its seats are available in this round.
For earlier cutoffs, match course, quota, category, round, session and rank type. The NEET qualifying cutoff is different from the last admitted candidate’s closing rank.
Upgrades, exit and security deposit
Read the round-specific rules before you choose to join, upgrade or resign. Do not assume a Round 1 facility remains available in a later round.
- Fresh registration: is a new applicant allowed, and is another payment required?
- Choice retention: are previous choices carried forward or must you fill a new list?
- Upgrade: what happens to the existing seat if a higher preference is allotted?
- Exit or resignation: which mode and deadline are valid, and is an acknowledgement required?
- Forfeiture: which actions affect the deposit or eligibility for later rounds?
- Other counselling: how does joining a central, state or institutional seat affect further participation?
Keep the official notice and a copy of every acceptance, resignation or joining acknowledgement. An informal message to a college may not count as a valid portal action.
Documents to prepare

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Kerala UG counselling questions
Does AACCC registration cover state counselling too?
No. Treat AACCC and the relevant state or institution as separate application routes. Check whether you need separate registration, payment and document verification for the seats you want.
Does this guide confirm that all AYUSH courses are available here?
No. Verify each course and college in the current official matrix. A state page also helps students explore central or nomination routes where a local option is not confirmed.
Can an outside-state candidate apply?
Check the exact quota and category in the Kerala notice. Do not infer eligibility from the college being private or from a general “open state” description.
Are the reference fees and cutoffs current?
Reference notes are dated background material. Use the applicable session’s official fee order and round result. A previous closing rank does not guarantee an allotment.
What should I save after choice locking?
Save the submitted preference order and the portal’s locking acknowledgement. Recheck instructions if a later round requires new choices.
