What is a Good Score in KEAM?

There are various entrance examinations conducted every year for varied courses. Among them, one is Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM). It is conducted by the Commissioner of Entrance Examination (CEE) and is a Kerala state-level examination. Through KEAM, students can secure seats in various private and government colleges for undergraduate engineering and architectural courses.

Candidates must examine the factors that contribute to a good score in KEAM. The foremost factor is students' knowledge and preparation for the exam. Next comes their performance in the KEAM exam; KEAM is conducted for admissions in engineering and architectural courses. Students who qualify for the exam can take courses in B.Tech and B.Pharm.

KEAM is organised into two papers, 1 and 2. Students applying for B.Pharm have to appear for only Paper 1. In contrast, students must appear for papers 1 and 2 while aspiring for B.Tech.
