KEAM 2026 LIVE: Counselling Delayed Due to CBSE Class 12 OSM Row – 12 June

Quick read
KEAM 2026 counselling has been officially delayed due to the ongoing CBSE Class 12 OSM (One Student, Multiple Marks) controversy, according to a statement by the Minister today, 12 June 2026. While the KEAM exam itself has concluded, aspirants awaiting the next step in the Engineering, Architecture, and Medical admission process now face an uncertain timeline as the state government awaits clarity on CBSE marksheets.
What happened today?
Today, Indian Express reported that Kerala's Education Minister confirmed the KEAM 2026 counselling schedule has been pushed back indefinitely due to discrepancies in the CBSE Class 12 results. The OSM (One Student, Multiple Marks) row—where some students allegedly received multiple or corrected scorecards—has forced the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) to halt the counselling process until CBSE provides verified, final marks.
Key developments:
- No revised counselling dates announced yet. The CEE is awaiting official communication from CBSE.
- KEAM exam results remain valid. The delay affects only the counselling and seat allocation phases.
- Aspirants are advised to monitor the official CEE Kerala portal for updates.
Why the delay matters
KEAM counselling determines seat allocation across Kerala's engineering, architecture, pharmacy, and medical colleges. The delay has a cascading effect:
- Students who wrote KEAM cannot finalize college choices until CBSE marks are verified.
- Other state counselling schedules may also shift if CBSE's OSM issue affects multiple boards or states.
- Aspirants preparing for other exams (like JEE Main Session 2 or NEET) now have breathing room, but also prolonged uncertainty.
What to do right now if you're a KEAM 2026 candidate
Even though counselling is on hold, here's how to stay prepared:
- Check your CBSE Class 12 marksheet carefully. If you notice any discrepancies (wrong marks, missing subjects, duplicate entries), report them to your school and CBSE immediately.
- Bookmark the official CEE Kerala website (cee.kerala.gov.in) and enable notifications. The revised counselling schedule will be posted there first.
- Don't panic. Delays are administrative—your KEAM rank and eligibility remain unchanged.
- Hydrate, rest, and avoid doomscrolling. Obsessively refreshing news sites won't speed up CBSE's verification process.
- Keep your documents ready: KEAM admit card, rank card (when released), CBSE marksheet, community certificate (if applicable), and ID proof.
- If you're also appearing for NEET-UG retest (21 June), use this extra time to revise—don't let KEAM counselling uncertainty distract you.
What we know about the CBSE OSM controversy
The scraped sources don't provide granular detail on the OSM issue itself, but the term refers to instances where students received multiple or corrected Class 12 marksheets, raising questions about result integrity. CBSE is reportedly conducting a re-verification, which has delayed dependent processes like KEAM counselling across Kerala.
No official statement from CBSE on a resolution timeline has surfaced in today's coverage.
Expected timeline (aspirant speculation, not official)
Because the sources do not include any counselling date predictions or cutoff discussions, we have no reliable timeline to share. The Minister's statement confirms the delay but provides no new dates. Aspirants on forums and social media are speculating a 1–2 week postponement, but this is purely guesswork.
Monitor official channels daily. The CEE will announce revised dates once CBSE confirms final Class 12 results.
