Overview
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has extended the last date for the KLEE 2026 Stray Vacancy Round 2 admission process. The round is intended to fill seats remaining vacant in participating law colleges after completion of the earlier allotment stages. This is an admission notification rather than a recruitment drive, and the total number of available seats will depend on course-wise and college-wise vacancies displayed on the candidate portal.
Candidates seeking admission to eligible five-year integrated LLB, three-year LLB or LLM programmes, as applicable to the published round, should complete the required online formalities before the revised deadline. Applicants must verify the latest vacancy list, eligibility conditions and reporting instructions before submitting their options.
