KEAM Second Allotment: Decision on Friday

A decision on the vexed Second Allotment of Kerala professional courses admission (KEAM-2010) will be taken by tomorrow afternoon.


The Government is toying with the idea of involving the 11 self-financing medical colleges at a later stage of allotment - in the third allotment or later - and Baby gave hints in this direction while speaking to Mathrubhumi Education on Thursday morning. However, even this proposition seems to be a tough one and that is why the consultations in this regard are extending.

Five of these private self-financing medical colleges are yet to get recognition and the Central Council empowered for it is expected to submit its report anytime from now. But the deadline for the same is July 15 and this big time-frame is confusing the colleges, government and students alike. According to the government's agreement with the Kerala Private Self-financing Engineering College Management Association, the fourth allotment has to be completed by July 14. So the government and the CEE are in a bind and have to move ahead with the allotment process and the only option is to leave the 11 self-financing medical colleges behind.
