The Kerala MBBS/BDS Third Phase Provisional Allotment List 2026 has been released by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, under the KEAM 2026 admission process. Candidates who participated in the third phase of Kerala NEET UG counselling can check their provisional allotment status and review the medical or dental college assigned to them.

The provisional allotment list, dated October 8, 2026, includes 6,950 allotments across 59 medical and dental colleges. Of these, 5,262 allotments are for MBBS courses and 1,688 are for BDS courses. The list covers state quota seats in government medical and dental colleges and seats in private self-financing medical and dental colleges in Kerala.

Candidates should carefully examine the allotment details and the remarks associated with their application. The third phase includes seats retained from the previous round, upgraded allotments for candidates who secured a higher preference, and new allotments for candidates receiving a seat in this phase.

However, the published list is provisional. The final allotment is subject to the applicable screening process, valid complaints and the list of candidates deemed ineligible under the national-level counselling process. Candidates should therefore wait for the final allotment and follow the latest instructions issued by CEE Kerala before completing admission formalities.

Kerala MBBS/BDS Third Phase Allotment 2026: Highlights

Kerala NEET UG Round 3 Allotment 2026: Course-Wise Distribution

The third phase allotment list includes a substantial number of MBBS and BDS seats. MBBS accounts for the larger share of allotments, while BDS seats form the remaining portion of the published list.

These figures represent allotments published in the third-phase list. They should not be interpreted as the total sanctioned intake or the number of newly allotted seats, because the list also includes candidates whose previous allotments have been retained or upgraded.

Retained, Upgraded and Newly Allotted Seats

The third-phase allotment list includes three types of allotment outcomes: retained seats, upgraded seats and newly allotted seats.

What Do These Allotment Categories Mean?

1. Previous phase allotment retained

Candidates in this category have retained their previously allotted seats. Their allotment has not changed in the current phase.

2. Allotment upgraded to a higher preference

Candidates in this category have received a higher-preference college or course through the counselling process. They should check the new allotment details carefully and follow the applicable instructions for admission to the upgraded seat.

3. Newly allotted in the third phase

These candidates have received an allotment in this phase. They should review the college, course, seat type and admission requirements before proceeding.

According to the published figures, 5,663 allotments were retained, 678 were upgraded and 609 were newly allotted. This distinction is important because the total number of allotments does not equal the number of candidates receiving seats for the first time in Round 3.

Colleges With High Numbers of Allotments

Several medical colleges recorded comparatively high allotment numbers in the third phase.

The listed figures provide an overview of allotments across selected institutions. Candidates should not use allotment numbers alone to compare colleges. They should also consider the course, fee structure, facilities, location, recognition and other relevant admission conditions.

How to Check the Kerala MBBS/BDS 3rd Phase Allotment List 2026

Candidates can check their allotment status through the official KEAM 2026 portal by following these steps:

1.    Visit the official CEE Kerala website at cee.kerala.gov.in.

2.    Open the KEAM 2026 Candidate Portal.

3.    Navigate to the allotment list section.

4.    Select the Medical (MBBS/BDS) – Third Phase Allotment link.

5.    Open the provisional allotment list or PDF.

6.    Search for your application number or rank.

7.    Verify the allotted college, course, seat type and remarks.

8.    Read the latest official notification for instructions on the final allotment and admission process.

Direct Link to Check the Allotment List

Candidates can access the official CEE Kerala portal and navigate to the KEAM 2026 allotment list section to view the third-phase MBBS/BDS allotment.

Official website: cee.kerala.gov.in

The relevant section is listed under Medical (MBBS/BDS). Candidates should select the third-phase provisional allotment link and verify their details in the published document.

Complaint Window and Final Allotment Status

Candidates who identify a genuine discrepancy in the provisional allotment were instructed to submit complaints to the admission authority by email. The published instructions specified October 9, 2026, up to 12 noon as the complaint deadline for the provisional list.

Candidates should note that the complaint window is now past. Those who submitted complaints should check for updates on how their grievances were addressed and whether the final allotment has been published.

The final allotment process also depends on the applicable screening requirements. In an update dated October 9, CEE Kerala indicated that the final Round 3 allotment would be published only after receipt of the list of ineligible candidates from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

Therefore, the provisional allotment should not be treated as final confirmation of a seat. Candidates should consult the latest official notification for the current status before approaching a college or making admission-related arrangements.

What Should Candidates Do After Checking Their Allotment?

After locating their names or application numbers in the list, candidates should take the following steps.

1. Check the Allotment Remarks

Review the remarks column to determine whether the seat has been retained, upgraded or newly allotted. Candidates who have received an upgraded seat should pay particular attention to the new college and course details.

2. Verify the College and Course

Check the institution name, MBBS or BDS course, seat type and other details displayed in the allotment record. If any discrepancy appears, follow the official procedure for seeking clarification.

3. Wait for the Applicable Final Allotment

Since the list is provisional, candidates should confirm the final status through the official portal. They should not assume that a provisional allotment automatically guarantees admission.

4. Prepare the Required Documents

Candidates should keep their documents ready in accordance with the instructions issued by the authority and the allotted institution. Depending on the candidate's eligibility and admission category, the required documents may include:

• NEET UG 2026 scorecard and rank details

• KEAM 2026 application and allotment details

• Class 10 certificate or proof of date of birth

• Class 12 marksheet and qualifying examination certificate

• Transfer certificate and conduct certificate, where required

• Nativity, category or reservation certificates, where applicable

• Identity proof

• Fee payment receipt and allotment memo

• Any additional documents specified by the college or admission authority

This is a general checklist. Candidates must follow the precise document requirements stated in the official admission instructions.

5. Follow the Official Reporting Schedule

Candidates should check the latest notification for the applicable fee payment, joining and reporting deadlines. The provisional list alone should not be used to determine a reporting date.

6. Keep Checking Official Notifications

Updates may be issued regarding the final allotment, eligibility screening and admission requirements. Candidates should rely on the official portal for the latest information.
