Hello,

Absolutely, I’d be glad to help! Since you're a first-year diploma student and your goal is to join an IIT through JEE , it's important to understand the path clearly.

Here's the reality:

1. IITs & JEE Eligibility for Diploma Holders

Unfortunately, diploma holders are not eligible for admission into IITs via JEE Advanced directly.

• IITs only allow students who have completed Class 12 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics .

• A diploma is not considered equivalent to 12th for JEE Advanced eligibility.

So, you cannot join IIT through the diploma-to-IIT direct route .

But here's what you can do instead :

Option 1: Appear for Class 12 (as a private candidate)

• You can register for Class 12 from a recognized board (like NIOS or state board) with PCM subjects .

• Once you pass 12th with PCM, you become eligible to:

  1. Appear for JEE Main and then JEE Advanced .

  2. Apply for IITs like any other 12th student.

This is the most reliable route for a diploma student aiming for IIT.

Option 2: Lateral Entry into Other Top Colleges (Non-IIT)

If you want to continue with your diploma:

• You can go for LEET exams (Lateral Entry Entrance Tests).

• Through this, you can directly join 2nd year B.Tech in many state universities or NITs , but not in IITs .

Some colleges even have good placements and academics similar to IITs.

If you skip KEAM, B.Tech CSE in private colleges can cost:

• 80K–2.5L per year in Kerala (management quota)

• 2L–4L per year in private universities like VIT, SRM, Manipal, Amrita

So, total cost = 3L to 16L depending on the college.
You can get in via 12th marks or direct admission.

Hello,

KEAM is not necessary for agriculture courses in most states. If you are considering agriculture as your second option, check the admission process of the specific universities or colleges you are interested in.

Some states and universities accept NEET for BSc Agriculture , while others have their own entrance exams. If KEAM is required for agriculture in your state, then you should appear for it.

Hope it helps !

No, you cannot change already uploaded documents for KEAM after submission unless you wait for the designated "correction window" to open, which is a specific period where you can modify details including uploaded documents on your application form before the registration deadline; you cannot make changes outside this window.

Key points to remember:

• Correction window is mandatory:

To change any information on your KEAM application form after initial submission, you must use the correction window provided by the authorities.

• Limited edits allowed:

During the correction window, you can only modify specific details like date of birth, contact number, photograph, signature, and other details as specified by the KEAM authority.

• Check for errors before final submission:

Always double-check all your details and uploaded documents before submitting the application form to avoid needing corrections later.

Yes, you can apply for both Medical and Engineering in KEAM within the same application. If you want to switch from Engineering to Medical after submission, changes may be possible during the correction window, depending on KEAM guidelines

If you made a mistake in your KEAM 2025 application, you can edit it during the correction window, expected in April 2025.

Steps to Correct

1. Visit cee.kerala.gov.in.

2. Log in with your application number and password.

3. Edit allowed details and submit changes.

Check the official website for exact dates and permitted corrections.
