About Kerala Law Entrance Exam (KLEE)
Kerala Law Entrance Exam (KLEE) is the state-level law entrance test conducted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala for admission to undergraduate law programmes in Kerala. It is the main gateway for students seeking admission to the 3-year LL.B. and 5-year integrated law programmes offered by participating colleges and institutions in Kerala. The KLEE official portal is cee.kerala.gov.in, which publishes the notification, the online application form, admit card, answer key, result, counselling updates and seat allotment information.
As of 11 October 2026, the 2026 cycle had already completed its exam and answer-key/result phases, while the 2027 cycle was not yet officially announced on the live portal reviewed. This page preserves the relevant historical context from prior KLEE pages and maps the legacy KLEE URLs to the current exam module without losing the earlier search signals and article history.
