Hello Aspirant,

If you want to apply for entrance to a college in Kerala without attending KEAM, you can look at Management Quota or NRI Quota seats in private engineering or professional colleges, there are colleges that will take you in this way. Here is broadly how this approach will work:

1. Directly to Colleges: Get in touch with the admissions office to see if there are any seats in Management quota. They will be very open with you about the process.
2. Eligibility: Most colleges would only require you to have at least a minimum eligibility threshold as set by the university or state government when applying for Management quota seats.
3. Application and Fees: You will be able to fill a Management quota application and pay whatever is needed. The fees may be bit higher than a normal application.
4. Documents: You will provide academic certificates, identity proofs and any other documents required.
5. Merit and Interview: Some colleges may hold an internal merit & interview and keep the students on hold as they confirm their admission.
