KEAM 2025 rank list: Supreme Court refuses to stay HC order

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court refused to stay the Kerala High Court order which cancelled the KEAM 2025 result and ordered CEE to prepare the revised KEAM rank list 2025 based on the old marks standardisation formula, as per a Live Law report. The top court was hearing a petition filed by the state board students aggrieved by the changes in the rank list following the HC order.

A bench comprising Justices PS Narasimha and AS Chandurkar posted the hearing after four weeks and asked the state to file its appeal.

A division bench of the HC upheld the single-judge order cancelling the last-minute changes in the KEAM 2025 prospectus wherein the formula for calculating the physics, chemistry, and mathematics (PCM) was changed from 1:1:1 to 5:3:2.
