The method of ranking has changed since its conception in 2006. In 2009, a new method of ranking students was proposed and put into practice in 2011 where the scores of the students in the entrance test and the scores of students in the 12th standard examinations conducted by ICSE, CBSE, Kerala State board, Other State board examinations was considered. The scores are then normalized to a set standard and then students are given a rank based on both the scores for the 12th grade examinations and common entrance examinations.[3]
The colleges under the each universities have their choice to follow the KEAM structure in admitting students, however if a college participates in the KEAM allotment, the colleges should admit the student. KEAM Allotment occurs in the month of August. There are also 73 private colleges that participate in 2011 KEAM Engineering and Architecture Allotment.[4]
In 2011 over 55000 students were admitted to Engineering Colleges by KEAM.[5] In 2011 additional 7 colleges were added[6] to the list making 80 private colleges and 37 Government and Government Aided colleges participating in government allotment. However a majority of colleges run by Christian management conducted separate admission tests and admitted many more students. Overall over 80000 students is expected to join in Engineering discipline in Kerala alone.
Kerala Govt recently started a programme for KEAM Coaching named as PEECS.
