KEAM Ranklist: Higher Marks for State Syllabus Students Cited as Drawback

Standardisation formula since 2011 involves comparison with marks scored by students
Amid raging debate over the revised KEAM engineering entrance rank list that was prepared after reverting to the 2011 mark standardisation formula, factors that played spoilsport for state syllabus students have come under the scanner.
Unlike other entrance exams, KEAM engineering entrance considers the overall score attained in the objective type entrance exam and marks scored in mathematics, physics and chemistry in the Plus-Two exam on a 50:50 basis. As students from non-state boards such as CBSE and CISCE also attempt KEAM, Plus-Two marks are subjected to a standardisation process to ensure parity.
