Rank score = degree percentage + Psychology weightage (max 40) + entrance test and interview marks (max 100). Seats are then allotted according to the reservation rules: Open Quota (Merit) first, then each community quota. EWS seats are over and above the intake.

A one-hour written test: 30 objective questions on counselling / human behaviour, 20 on general mental ability and 10 on social awareness (1 mark each), plus descriptive questions for 20 marks. The interview carries 20 marks.

Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD): 5% additional seats for candidates with at least 40% certified permanent disability under the RPwD Act, 2016; upload the permanent disability certificate issued by a District Medical Board or higher authority. PwBD seats are allotted on rank in the inter-se merit list and physical suitability, not on the degree of disability.

SC / ST / OEC: community certificate from the Kerala Revenue Authority. SEBC (ETB / MU / LC / OBX / OBH): community certificate and non-creamy layer certificate. EWS (General category only – candidates eligible for SC, ST, SEBC or OEC reservation cannot claim EWS): AAY / PHH certificate or the Income and Assets certificate from the Village Officer.

SC / ST candidates allotted seats (under reservation or on merit) are exempt from tuition and admission fees. OEC candidates are exempt from payment of fees at the time of allotment on producing proof of community.

No, the form is locked after submission. If there is a mistake, contact the admissions office. If needed, your application can be returned to you for correction while applications are open.

Vacant SC seats go to ST candidates and vacant ST seats to SC candidates. Seats still vacant are re-notified by the University and a special allotment is held; after that, vacant SC / ST seats go to OEC candidates, then SEBC candidates, and then General merit. Unfilled SEBC seats go to General merit.
