With the KEAM exam
underway, let us look into the details regarding the KEAM, the colleges that accept the scores and the closing ranks for various engineering departments.
Many reputed institutes in Kerala that
offer different professional degrees accept KEAM exam scores for their
admissions. This exam is conducted across all major venues in the state of
Kerala and in cities like Mumbai, New Delhi and Dubai, among others.
In the KEAM exam, engineering aspirants
need to appear for two papers – Paper 1, which comprises Physics &
Chemistry, and Paper 2, which consists of Mathematics. The Paper 1 for the KEAM
exam 2015 was conducted today (20th April) and the Paper 2 of the KEAM exam is
to be held tomorrow (21st April).
Next in the series of articles on
colleges admitting students on the basis of their performance in the KEAM exam,
we take a look at Kelappaji College of Agricultural
Engineering and Technology.
This
institute was established in 1985 and is recognised by Indian Council of
