Office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has commenced the activities related to the Vacant Seat allotment to fill up the seats that exist/arise after the second phase of centralized allotment for admission to LLM Course in the Government Law Colleges and Private Self- Financing Law Colleges for the year 2024-25.

Those who have figured in the rank list of LLM Course 2024 published by the CEE and satisfy the eligibility criteria as per clause 9 in the Prospectus can register fresh options till 1 pm on 23.12.2024 and participate in this phase of allotment. Allotment and Institution Joining Schedule will be notified later. 

Probable vacancies arising due to the up-gradations to higher options or category conversions will also be filled up in the vacant seat allotment based on the options for the vacant seat allotment. Hence candidates may take into account probable vacancies also in addition to the real vacancies available at the start of the vacant seat allotment process.

Those candidates who wish to register options for the vacant seat allotments will have to pay separate registration fees to the CEE. Details are given in the Notification. Registration fee has to be remitted by way of online payment. 

The registration fee of those candidates who do not get allotment will be refunded. If a candidate gets allotment and does not join within the stipulated time, the option registration fee will be forfeited as penalty and will not be refunded. Option registration fee of those who quit the seats after taking admission will also be forfeited as penalty and will not be refunded. Refund of option registration fee for the eligible candidates will be made only after the completion of allotment process and it will be notified.

Those who get allotment in this phase should join the allotted college with all the original certificates as given in the prospectus clause 19 within the stipulated time to be announced by the CEE and should remit applicable tuition fee, other fees and the deposits (if applicable) to the allotted colleges at the time of admission. 

If no seat is allotted to the candidate in the vacant seat allotment, the existing admission, if any, shall prevail. But if a seat is allotted to the candidate in the vacant seat allotment, the existing admission, if any, will stand cancelled and the candidate will have to accept the new allotment. The seats received through vacant seat allotment cannot be changed further. Hence candidates should register options to only those colleges where they want to study for the course if they get an allotment.

Candidates who are allotted a seat in the vacant seat allotment, irrespective of the admission status, will not be eligible for any subsequent allotments. 

After the Vacant Seat Allotment, if vacancies exist/arise, these vacancies shall be filled through Stray Vacancy Filling Allotments. Stray Vacancy Filling Allotments, if any conducted, will have fresh option registration opportunity. But already admitted candidates will not be considered for stray vacancy filling rounds. Notification regarding the same will be issued later and the decision of CEE will be Final in this regard. 

Allotments shall be subject to the final order/affiliation/approval of the Government/University concerned. 

Those admitted to the course through previous phases of allotment by the CEE can avail free exit from the course up to 12 pm on 23.12.2024. Candidates shall be liable for penalty if they vacate seats or obtain T.C after 12 pm on 23.12.2024.
