Since the KEAM 2021 exam is taking place amid the pandemic, COVID-19 positive candidates or those with symptoms may also attend the entrance exam. However, the authorities have released guidelines to be followed by candidates, parents and officials.

Students are to report their COVID positive/quarantine details on the CEE Covid helpdesk available on the candidate portal at CEE’s official website if any.
