(i) All eligible options of the candidate will be displayed on the Option Registration Page. The
candidate may follow the directions given therein to register the options. The data entered may be saved regularly by clicking the ‘Save’ button, so that the data already entered is not lost due to unexpected reasons. The candidate should enter only those options in which he/she is interested. Candidates should also note that he/she will be considered for allotment only to those courses and colleges opted by him/her.

Existing options, registered by the candidate and available in the Option Registration Page, can be cancelled by entering the number ‘0’ against that particular option to be cancelled and by clicking the ‘Update’ button. All options registered by the candidate will be processed. If a candidate gets allotted to a particular seat, based on his/her option, he/she is bound to accept it, failing which, he/she will lose that allotment as well as all the existing options in the stream to which the allotment belongs. The options once lost will not be available in the subsequent phases.
(ii) Option Worksheet facility: If a candidate experiences any difficulty in entering the data directly, he/she may first take a printout of the worksheet showing all the options he/she is eligible for, by clicking on the ‘OPTION WORKSHEET’ or ‘DETAILED OPTION WORKSHEET’ link on the page. The desired entries may be made on this work sheet and the same may be used for registering the options on the website. The preference numbers may be fixed using this worksheet and the data may be entered in the system subsequently. A candidate has the facility to modify or rearrange his/her earlier options before the last date and time fixed.
KEAM 2019 Viewing and Printing of the Option List based on the options registered: Once the candidate completes the option entry, he/she can view his/her options by clicking on the link provided. An option list will be generated and the candidate can take a printout of the same and keep it for future reference. If the candidate wants to change his/her options already registered, he/she may revise the options as desired and ensure that the option list has come as per his/her preferences.
KEAM 2019 Loging off from the Option Registration Page: Once the candidate is satisfied with the options registered, he/she may ‘Log off’ the system by clicking on “logout” link. The process of ‘Registration of Options’ is complete when the candidate logs off. This action is compulsory for preventing the misuse of his/her Option Registration Page by strangers.
KEAM 2019 Rearranging option priority: A candidate may change his/her option priority any number of times within the time schedule permitted. The priority of options registered at the time of closing of the facility for registering options alone will be considered for processing. No candidate will be allowed to register options afresh to any stream at any stage after the stipulated time as notified by the CEE. The option list once finalized cannot be augmented after the stipulated time for registering options.
