Option Entry Registration and Fee Payment

 

Candidates must register their option entry for allotment. A registration fee of Rs. 5,000/- must be remitted to the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations. This fee will be adjusted against the tuition fee for those who secure admission. Candidates belonging to SC/ST/OEC categories and certain other groups are required to pay a reduced registration fee of Rs. 500/-. This fee is refundable if the candidate does not receive an allotment, but non-refundable if the candidate fails to join after being allotted a seat.

 

The registration fees can be paid either through online payment or at any Head Post Office in Kerala.

 

Token Fee for Self-Financing Colleges

 

Candidates who receive an allotment to self-financing MBBS and BDS colleges must remit a token fee to the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations. For MBBS courses, the token fee is Rs. 1 lakh for general category students and Rs. 5 lakhs for NRI category students. For BDS courses, the token fee is Rs. 1 lakh for all categories, including the NRI quota.

 

The token fee must be paid promptly to secure the allotted seat. Failure to remit the token fee will result in the loss of the seat, and such candidates will not be considered for future allotments.

1. Option Selection: Candidates should carefully do the option entry for KEAM Kerala 2024 during the registration process.
