KLEE 2026 Counselling: Stray Vacancy Round Option Registration Deadline Approaching

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, is set to conclude the registration process for the stray vacancy round of KLEE 2026 counselling tomorrow. Candidates aiming for admission into three-year or five-year LLB programmes across government and self-financing law colleges in the state must finalise their choices through the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, before the stipulated deadline.

The window for submitting fresh options will officially close at 11:00 AM on October 3, 2026. Participation in this process is mandatory for any candidate wishing to be considered for the final seat allotment, which aims to fill 221 remaining vacant seats across various institutions in Kerala.

Important Guidelines and Eligibility Criteria for Stray Round

Before proceeding with the registration, applicants are advised to verify their eligibility status. It is important to note that candidates who have already secured admission in any of the previous rounds of KLEE 2026 counselling are not eligible to participate in this stray vacancy round. This phase is specifically designed to address the remaining vacancies in law colleges throughout the state.

To successfully complete the registration, candidates are required to pay a specified fee. For applicants in the general category, the option registration fee is set at INR 1,000. Meanwhile, candidates belonging to SC, ST, and OEC categories are required to pay a reduced fee of INR 500. Only those who complete the registration and lock their preferences by the 11:00 AM deadline on October 3 will be included in the subsequent seat allotment process.

Final Steps for Law Aspirants

The CEE, Kerala, has emphasised that the submission of fresh choices is a critical step for those seeking to secure a seat in this final round. Students are encouraged to ensure that their preferences are accurately recorded and locked within the portal before the system closes. Following the conclusion of this registration period, the authorities will proceed with the seat allotment based on the choices submitted by the eligible candidates.
