KLEE LLM 2026 option registration for the first phase of centralised allotment now closes on 2 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations announced the extension on 27 October 2026. This is the third extension, so treat 2 November as the date to plan for, not a cushion.
Older dates still float around, mainly 5 October, 8 October and 22 October. Ignore them. Only the 27 October notice on cee.kerala.gov.in is current.

The allotment and joining schedule has not been announced. The 1 October notice says it will be notified later, so watch the website after 2 November.
What you need to register options
Only candidates who are on the LLM 2026 rank list can register options. The notices describe no photo or signature upload in this step, so none should be needed unless your portal asks for it.
- Your application number and password, used in the link "LL.M 2026 - Candidate Portal" on cee.kerala.gov.in.
- The menu "Option Registration" after you log in.
- The registration fee, paid online: Rs 2,000, or Rs 500 for SC/ST/OEC candidates eligible under the listed government orders and for candidates from Juvenile Home, Nirbhaya Home or Sreechithra Home.
Allotment follows the rank list, the category list and the options received on time. Options sent by email, fax, post or hand delivery are not processed on any account.
Option registration last date extended again: should I wait?
No. A candidate who does not register options online is not considered for allotment under any circumstances, and extensions are not promised. Register early and confirm the fee shows as paid, rather than leaving it to the last afternoon.
Fee refund, and the one way to lose it
The fee of candidates who get no allotment is refunded, but only after the allotment process ends, and CEE says the refund will be notified separately. If you get an allotment and do not join within the stipulated time, the fee is treated as a penalty. The same applies if you quit a seat after taking admission.
If your result shows a document defect
The 1 October notice says candidates whose rank was withheld because of defects in nationality or nativity proof could still register options, but their options count only if they upload the required documents through the candidate portal and clear the defect. That notice gave 4 October, 5:00 PM for it, so check your home page for the current position. If a defect is flagged, replace the file at once.
The notices do not state a file size. Use the limit the portal shows. If a scan is too large, shrink it with Compress PDF to 200KB, or see why a PDF upload fails on a portal. For a photo file, the photo resizer fits it to a set KB size.
