Kerala MBBS Admission 2025 — Fees & Cutoff at a Glance
Kerala runs MBBS admission through KEAM state-quota counselling, managed by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) Kerala. The state has 14 government medical colleges with 1,855 total government-quota seats. Government Medical College Kozhikode was the most competitive in 2025, closing around rank 7,273 (OPEN category); Government Medical College Kottayam was the least competitive government college, closing around rank 37,194.

Kerala's fee sources genuinely conflict — the official KEAM notification cites roughly Rs 23,150–27,580/year as the tuition fee, while several aggregators report a bundled "annual fee" of Rs 99,000–1,35,000/year (likely tuition plus special/PTA charges). Both figures are shown below rather than picking one. For cutoff ranks, a suspicious "675/676" figure that appeared identically across nearly every college on one source was excluded as a likely data error — only genuinely distinct, verified closing ranks are shown, and the rest are marked as not available rather than guessed.
