KEAM, the State’s engineering and pharmacy entrance examination, may go online and be held in multiple sessions from next year.
A proposal submitted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) to restructure the annual examination as a single-paper computer-based test (CBT) is being considered by the State government. The comprehensive plan was presented by Higher Education Minister R. Bindu, while replying to a question by P. Ubaidulla (IUML) in the Assembly.
The CEE has mooted combining both papers (Paper 1 – Physics and Chemistry and Paper 2 - Mathematics) similar to the structure of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main. The three-hour-long examination will comprise 30 questions each from the three subjects and carry a total of 300 marks.
