New rank holders as KEAM revised rank list is out
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations published the revised rank list for the KEAM 2025 entrance examination on Thursday night. The list was prepared in accordance with the previous normalisation formula, which the High Court reinstated after quashing the original rank list prepared using a new formula.
As anticipated, the number of toppers from the State Board saw a sharp decline. Only 21 students from the State Board made it to the top 100 ranks, down from 43 on the original list published under the now-invalidated formula. The toppers’ list also saw significant reshuffling.
Joshua Jacob Thomas from Thiruvananthapuram emerged the top ranker with a score of 588.5773 out of 600. He had previously held the fifth rank with 587.6773 marks. Hari Kishan Baiju of Ernakulam retained his second position, while Emil Iype Sacharia (Thiruvananthapuram), Adyl Zayaan (Kozhikode), Adhvaith Ayinippilly (Karnataka), and Ananya Rajeev (Karnataka) secured ranks three to six respectively.
John Sinoj of Ernakulam, who topped the original list, slipped to seventh place after his score was revised downward by 0.7812 marks.
In the reserved categories, Hridin S. Biju of Kasaragod and Sabarinath K.S. of Kottayam secured the highest ranks among Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates, respectively.
Of the 86,549 students who appeared for KEAM 2025, 76,230 qualified, and 67,505 were included in the final engineering rank list.
Earlier in the day, Higher Education Minister R. Bindu had the government would accept the Kerala High Court upholding the quashing of this year’s results and would publish a revised rank-list at the earliest.
Upholding a Single Bench’s order, the Division Bench of Justice Anil K. Narendran and Justice Muralee Krishna S. observed that it found no ground to interfere with the Single Bench order which had directed the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations to publish the rank-list in accordance with the prospectus which had been issued in February.
The Division Bench added that the government had acted beyond the recommendations that had been made by its own expert committee, on which basis the earlier prospectus was prepared.
