Counselling Process

NEET 2025 Kerala Counselling Process – Detailed Guide

The Kerala NEET 2025 Counselling is conducted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala through the Centralised Allotment Process (CAP). This ensures fair and transparent admissions to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, BUMS, and other medical courses in Government, Aided, and Private Self-Financing Colleges.

Step-by-Step Counselling Process

1. Online Registration

Candidates must register on www.cee.kerala.gov.in within the given time.
Login using Application Number & Password.
Fill in personal details, upload required documents, and pay the counselling registration fee.
Once registered, candidates can proceed to the choice-filling process.

2. Choice Filling & Option Entry

Candidates select and prioritize courses & colleges based on their NEET rank & preference.
The seat is assigned strictly based on these preferences, so candidates must choose wisely.
Options can be edited, rearranged, or deleted before the deadline.
If a candidate does not select an option, they will NOT be considered for admission.

3. Trial Counselling (Mock Seat Counselling) (Optional Round)

A Trial Counselling is conducted to give candidates an idea of what seat they may get based on their rank & options.
This is not a final seat counselling but helps candidates modify their choices.
Candidates can edit their preferences after this round.

4. First Round of Counselling

Candidates are given seats based on their NEET rank, category, and college preferences.
Candidates must download their counselling memo and pay the prescribed fee at the allotted college.
If a candidate fails to pay the fee or join the college, their seat and remaining options will be cancelled.
If not satisfied, candidates can wait for the second round while keeping their higher options.

5. Second Round of Counselling

Candidates who were not given seats in Round 1 OR want a better seat can participate.
Candidates must confirm their existing options before Round 2 to be considered.
If a candidate gets a new seat, their previous seat is automatically cancelled.
If the candidate fails to pay the fee or report to the college, their seat and all remaining options will be lost.

6. Mop-Up Round (For Vacant Seats)

Conducted if seats remain vacant after Round 2.
Candidates who did not get a seat in previous rounds can participate.

This is the last chance for regular admissions.

No fresh registration is allowed; only previously registered candidates can participate.
Direct admission at the college level based on a merit list prepared by the college.
Candidates must visit the college in person to secure the seat.

Key Points to Remember

Options Once Lost Cannot Be Recovered – If a candidate does not confirm their options for the next round, they will lose all remaining options.
Seat Upgradation Possible – If a candidate is allotted a seat but wants a better one, they can keep their higher preferences for the next round.
Admitted Candidates Must Report & Pay Fees – Failure to do so will lead to cancellation of admission & remaining options.
No Fresh Registration After First Round – Candidates must register before the first round to participate in any later rounds.
Mop-Up & Stray Vacancy Rounds Are Final Rounds – If a candidate does not get a seat here, they must wait for the next academic year.
