What Is the First Phase Centralised Allotment?
The First Phase Centralised Allotment is the initial round of seat allotment under CEE Kerala's Single Window System (SWS) for the Three-Year LLB programme. It is prepared based on two things:
- The candidate's rank in the official Three-Year LLB rank list published by CEE Kerala.
- The online college/course options registered by the candidate during the option registration window.
Candidates whose results were withheld at the time of allotment, or who did not confirm/register options within the deadline, are not considered for this round. This pattern has been consistent in CEE Kerala's LLB allotment notifications in previous admission cycles as well.
Participating Law Colleges
The Centralised Allotment Process for the Three-Year LLB programme covers:
- 4 Government Law Colleges in Kerala (Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Kozhikode, and Thrissur, based on past admission cycles).
- Government merit seats in private self-financing law colleges across the state - approximately 16 to 20 colleges, depending on the year and subject to fresh Government sanction, university affiliation renewal, and Bar Council of India accreditation for each academic year.

What Happens After the First Phase Allotment?

Candidates who are satisfied with their First Phase allotment and do not wish to be considered further can simply complete admission formalities at the allotted college. The schedule for further phases, if any, will be notified separately on the official website.
