KEAM 2026 expected marks vs expected rank engineering
KEAM rank depends on KEAM exam marks and Class 12 PCM/PCB scores. The KEAM 2026 expected marks vs expected rank engineering estimates below combine published predictor ranges and category notes to show likely rank bands.
The rank predictor approach gives these headline thresholds: any engineering score above 550/600 typically maps to rank 1–5,000 , while 580+ is usually a top score with rank 1–100 on state merit. For pharmacy, 250/300+ normally maps to rank 1–1,000 .
KEAM 2026 expected marks vs expected rank engineering — Overall
The table below summarises the commonly published estimate ranges for engineering (marks out of 600). Note a discrepancy reported for the 300–349 band: one estimate shows 5,000–8,000 , while a tabular estimate shows 40,001–50,000 . Both figures appear in public predictions.
| Marks (Out of 600) | Expected Rank Range |
|---|---|
| 550 - 600 | 1 - 5,000 |
| 500 - 549 | 5,001 - 10,000 |
| 450 - 499 | 10,001 - 20,000 |
| 400 - 449 | 20,001 - 30,000 |
| 350 - 399 | 30,001 - 40,000 |
| 300 - 349 | (conflicting: 5,000–8,000) or (40,001–50,000) |
| Below 250 | 60,000+ |
Estimated last KEAM rank for 2026 is reported between 72,501 and 79,000 .
KEAM 2026 expected marks vs expected rank engineering — Category-wise notes
Category affects rank expectations for the same marks. Class 12 PCM/PCB scores also carry equal weight in final state merit.
- State merit (General): 580–600 predicts rank 1–100 ; 550–579 predicts 100–1,500 .
- OBC (SEBC): 570+ predicts 1–1,000 .
- SC/ST: 570+ predicts 1–300 ; above 450 often places within top 10,000 for the category.
KEAM 2026 expected marks vs expected rank engineering — Pharmacy (marks out of 300)
| Marks (Out of 300) | Expected Rank Range |
|---|---|
| 250 - 300 | 1 - 1,000 |
| 220 - 249 | 1,001 - 2,500 |
| 190 - 219 | 2,501 - 5,000 |
| 160 - 189 | 5,001 - 10,000 |
| 130 - 159 | 10,001 - 20,000 |
| Below 100 | 20,000+ |
Category splits for pharmacy: General 250+ → 1–1,000 ; OBC 235+ → 1–2,000 ; SC/ST 200+ → 1–4,000 .
Methodology and limits
Published rank predictors use past trends and calculated KEAM scores but do not disclose a definitive formula combining exam marks and Class 12 weightage. The exact normalization, tie-breaks and reservation seat allocations are not detailed in these estimates. Treat the bands as guidance, not official cutoffs.
