Justice D K Singh ruled that the revised method of calculating engineering entrance ranks negatively impacted CBSE syllabus students.
The single bench also instructed a revision of the KEAM rank list.
The Kerala government has appealed against the High Court single bench order that nullified the KEAM rank list. The Division Bench will review the appeal on Thursday. The High Court declared the Kerala Engineering, Architecture, and Medical (KEAM) exam results published by the government invalid. It used a new formula for consolidating marks, reported ANI. The single bench also instructed a revision of the KEAM rank list.
The state government released the KEAM results last week, applying the new formula that addressed longstanding concerns from Kerala syllabus students about mark reductions due to consolidation. Hana Fathima, a student who completed Plus Two under the CBSE syllabus, filed a petition challenging the mark consolidation in the rank list. The Plus Two student approached the High Court, questioning this process, the ANI report added.
The High Court accepted the student’s argument that the prospectus was altered at the final stage of the admission process. The verdict considered that CBSE students lost the weightage they previously had due to the new mark consolidation equation. The government had announced that the rank list was prepared by combining marks from the entrance exam and Plus Two results. There were complaints that the former equation caused Kerala syllabus students to score 15 to 20 marks less than CBSE students.
Justice D K Singh ruled that the revised method of calculating engineering entrance ranks negatively impacted CBSE syllabus students.
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, released the rank list for the Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM) Entrance Exam 2025 on July 1. The entrance exams were held from April 23 to 29. The engineering exams were conducted daily during the afternoon session, from 2 pm to 5 pm. The pharmacy entrance test took place over multiple sessions. On April 24, there were two sessions — one from 11:30 am to 1 pm, and another from 3:30 pm to 5 pm. The final pharmacy session was held on April 29 from 10 am to 11:30 am.
