This revised ranking impacts aspiring engineering and medical students across the state,and we’ll break down everything you need to know.
Key Changes in the KEAM 2025 Rank List
The most notable change is the alteration in the first rank.Joshwa Jacob Thomas of Navedaar has secured the top position, replacing John Shinogi who held the first rank in the previous list. Interestingly, the student previously ranked fifth has now moved up to claim the second position – Keema Jacob thomas.
This isn’t just a reshuffling at the top. The new rank list reflects a broader shift in representation from different syllabuses.
Increased Representation of Kerala syllabus Students
A significant progress in the revised list is the increased presence of students from the Kerala State syllabus. A total of 21 students following the Kerala syllabus now feature within the top 100 ranks, a substantial increase from the 43 students who were in the top 100 in the previous ranking.
Conversely,the new list demonstrates a dominance of CBSE syllabus students within the top 100. This shift highlights the impact of the court’s intervention and the subsequent recalculation of ranks.
Government’s Response and Legal Backing
The government’s decision to revise the rank list stemmed from concerns raised regarding its accuracy and fairness. This move was met wiht legal challenges, but the High Court has now upheld the revised ranking.
A bench comprising Justice Bench confirmed there were no grounds to intervene with the single bench verdict. This effectively means the rank list will not be reverted to its original state, even if appealed to the Supreme Court. Higher Education Minister has affirmed the government’s position, indicating they will not pursue further appeals.
