The Kerala High Court has permitted three CBSE‑affiliated students to upload their revalued marks on the KEAM portal, following a legal challenge over the eligibility criteria for the entrance exam.
The Kerala High Court ruled on Thursday that three students who had taken the CBSE board exams can now upload their revalued marks on the KEAM portal. The decision follows a petition filed by the students, who argued that the current eligibility rules unfairly excluded them. The court directed the Kerala State Education Department to update the portal to accept the revised marks.
The students had previously been denied entry to the KEAM exam due to a discrepancy between their original CBSE scores and the marks required for eligibility. After a revaluation process conducted by CBSE, the students received higher scores, but the KEAM portal had not been updated to reflect these changes. The High Court’s order is expected to allow the students to apply for the exam in the upcoming admission cycle.
The ruling is seen as a significant step toward ensuring that students are not disadvantaged by administrative delays. It also underscores the importance of timely updates to online admission portals to reflect accurate academic records.
