KEAM 2026: MBBS Allotment at Kozhikode Medical College – Reporting Schedule Announced

The Kerala Engineering Architecture and Medical (KEAM) entrance examination authorities have released the reporting schedule for candidates allotted MBBS seats at the Government Medical College, Kozhikode. As per an official press release issued on Thursday, August 27, 2026, candidates must report to the lecture theatre complex on the college campus on designated dates, accompanied by a parent or guardian and carrying original documents for verification.

The schedule is based on the candidates' rank in the KEAM merit list. Candidates ranked 1 to 250 are required to report on September 1, 2026. Those ranked 251 to 800 must report on September 2, 2026, while candidates ranked above 800 should report on September 3, 2026. On each of these dates, candidates are expected to be present at the venue between 10 a.m. and noon.

Authorities have emphasised that original documents must be produced at the time of reporting. While the press release does not enumerate the specific list of documents, candidates are generally advised to carry their KEAM admit card, rank card, SSLC and Plus Two mark sheets, transfer certificate, conduct certificate, and any other relevant certificates such as community or income certificates, if applicable. Candidates should also confirm the exact document list from the college's official website or through the contact number provided.

The medical college has directed candidates to visit its official website at https://www.govtmedicalcollegekozhikode.ac.in/news for updates and detailed instructions. For queries, candidates can contact the helpline number 9995199560. The authorities have urged candidates to keep track of any changes to the schedule and to arrive on time, as late reporting may affect their admission.

The KEAM is the state-level entrance examination conducted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations in Kerala for admission to various professional courses, including medicine and engineering. MBBS seat allotment is a critical step in the admission process, and timely reporting is mandatory to confirm the allotted seat. Non-reporting on the specified date is typically treated as a forfeiture of the seat, which may then be offered to candidates on the waiting list.

This year, the allotment at Government Medical College, Kozhikode – one of the oldest and most sought-after medical institutions in Kerala – follows the completion of the centralised allotment process. The reporting procedure is designed to finalise admissions and begin the academic session without delay. Candidates are advised to cooperate with the verification process and maintain discipline at the venue.

For any unforeseen situations or travel issues, candidates may contact the college authorities via the provided contact number. Officials have also reminded candidates that the announcement on the website is the authoritative source of information, and they should rely on it rather than unofficial channels.

As the reporting dates approach, candidates are encouraged to prepare their documents in an organised folder and verify their eligibility details well in advance. The college will likely provide further instructions regarding orientation, fees, and hostel accommodation after the reporting process is completed.

Supreme Court to FSSAI: Why take two more years for warning labels on packaged food?

The Supreme Court has questioned the FSSAI's proposal to take nearly two years to introduce front-of-pack warning labels on packaged foods high in sugar, salt and saturated fat. The regulator told the court it needs four months for consultations and a further year for industry to transition, but the Bench asked why it was restarting an exercise begun in 2022. The court reserved its order and said it would keep the matter pending to monitor compliance.
