Now, according to the revised criteria, candidates who have qualified class 12 with PCM subjects or have a 10+3 diploma with maths are eligible for admissions. The waive for the minimum score came amid severe lockdowns and the closing of educational institutions due to Covid-19.

The notification for relaxation in minimum score has already been released on the official website of the Council of Architecture. The notification further stated that the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations has recommended changing the eligibility for the KEAM 2020 prospectus.
