Scheme of the Examinations:
The Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations (KEAM-2015) will be objective type with Multiple Choice Questions and based on single response. For each question, five suggested answers would be given, of which only one will be the MOST APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. The candidate will have to select and mark the alphabet (A, B, C, D or E) corresponding to the most appropriate response in the OMR Answer Sheet. (A specimen answer sheet is appended as Annexure XXIV)

The question paper for objective type examinations will be given in the form of Question Booklets. Candidates will be permitted to take the question booklet with them at the end of examination.

For Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations, each Paper will have 120 questions to be answered in 150 minutes.

Scoring, negative marks: For each correct response in the Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations, the candidates will be awarded FOUR marks, and for each incorrect response, ONE mark will be deducted from the total score. For all these papers, in the event of failure to answer a question, (that is, no response is indicated against a question in the answer-sheet) no deduction from the total score will be made. More than one answer indicated against a question will be deemed as incorrect response, and will be awarded negative marks. Therefore the candidates are advised not to attempt an answer, if they are not sure of the response, because mere guessing may lead to choice of wrong answers, with the consequent penalty of negative marks. However, the candidates who fail to answer at least one question in each paper will be disqualified.

The standard of the Examination :
The standard of the Entrance Examinations will be that of Higher Secondary or equivalent examinations. The syllabi for all the subjects for the Entrance Examination are given in Annexure I of the Prospectus.

The syllabi published in the Prospectus are only outlines of the topics that will be covered in the examination. Since the examinations are of highly competitive nature and the cream of the competing students has to be found out through a process of elimination, questions of applied nature of higher order on the topics included in the published syllabi can be expected. Questions are not based on NCERT textbooks or any other textbooks exclusively.

Papers/Subjects in the Entrance Examinations:
G.O.(Ms)No.153/99/H.Edn. Dated 22.11.1999 stipulates that the Entrance Examinations for Engineering and Medical & Allied courses will be conducted separately, each test with a relative weightage of 5:3:2 in Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry in Engineering Entrance Examination and in Biology, Chemistry & Physics for Medical Entrance Examination. As per the Guidelines issued by the Council of Architecture, there will be a centralised mechanism of conducting a “National Aptitude Test in Architecture” (NATA), which is mandatory for admission to the 5-year B. Arch. Course in all Architecture institutions in India, which includes NITs and IITs, Government institutions, Government Aided institutions, Universities, Deemed Universities and Private Universities formed by a Central or State Legislature and other Private Self-financing institutions. The CEE will not conduct ‘Aptitude Test’ for B. Arch. course in view of the guidelines issued by the Council of Architecture.

(a) Papers for the Engineering Entrance Examination:
Paper I – Physics & Chemistry
Paper II – Mathematics
Each Paper will be of two and a half hours duration.
(b) Papers for the Medical Entrance Examination:
Paper I – Chemistry & Physics
Paper II – Biology

Each Paper will be of two and a half hours duration.

Candidates desirous of being considered for the entire Medical & Allied courses, will have to write both papers of the Medical Entrance Examination.

Candidates desirous of obtaining admission to the Agricultural courses and Veterinary courses except B.Tech. (Agri. Engg.), B.Tech (Food Engg.) and B.Tech.
