REAP 2027: Registration, Eligibility, Counselling & Admission

REAP 2027, or Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process 2027, is held for admission to engineering, architecture, and Planning courses in the state. It is the state-level admission process for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate engineering programmes such as B.E. and B.Tech in Rajasthan. The process is conducted online, and candidates are allotted colleges and branches based on the applicable merit, eligibility, category, choices, and availability of seats.

FOR ADMISSION IN FIRST YEAR OF B.E./B. TECH/B. PLAN & B. ARCH. COURSES (ACADEMIC SESSION: 2027

REAP is not an entrance examination. It is an admission and counselling process through which eligible candidates can compete for seats in participating engineering institutions.

The REAP 2027 notification, registration dates, counselling schedule, fee, and detailed eligibility criteria are yet to be announced. Therefore, candidates should use the 2026 process as a reference and wait for the official 2027 information before making final decisions.

The Rajasthan Department of Technical Education (DTE) publishes engineering admission information through its official admission system. The 2026 REAP portal was operated by the Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG), Jaipur.

What is REAP 2027?

REAP stands for Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process. It is the centralized admission process used for undergraduate engineering admissions in participating institutions in Rajasthan.

Students do not appear for a separate examination called the “REAP exam.” Instead, eligible candidates register for REAP, submit their academic and other details, upload documents, select their preferred colleges and branches, and participate in the seat-allotment process.

The 2026 REAP portal included separate steps for registration, application, document upload, and filling/locking college choices.

Is REAP an entrance exam?

No. REAP is not an entrance examination. This is an important point for students searching for “REAP exam 2027.”

REAP is an engineering admission and counselling process. Candidates seeking admission should therefore prepare for the relevant qualifying route, particularly JEE Main, while also keeping track of REAP registration and counselling.

The exact merit methodology and eligible admission routes for 2027 will be confirmed in the official REAP 2027 booklet.

REAP 2027 Eligibility Criteria

The eligibility criteria for admission to the first year of B.E./B.Tech, B.Arch and B.Plan programmes under REAP are based on the AICTE Approval Process Handbook 2024–25 to 2026–27 and the applicable rules of the concerned regulatory authorities.

B.E./B.Tech Admission Eligibility

Candidates seeking admission to the first year of B.E./B.Tech must fulfil one of the following conditions:

• Pass the 10+2 examination with any of the prescribed subjects, including Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology, Biology, Informatics Practices, Biotechnology, Technical Vocational subjects, Agriculture, Engineering Graphics, Business Studies or Entrepreneurship, as applicable under AICTE guidelines.
• For Agricultural Engineering, candidates may be required to have studied the relevant Agriculture stream.
• Candidates must secure at least 45% marks in the prescribed subjects taken together. For candidates belonging to eligible reserved categories, the minimum requirement is 40% marks.
• Candidates who have passed a D.Voc. programme at NCrF Level 4 in the same or an allied sector are also eligible. Universities may provide bridge courses in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Drawing to help students from diverse academic backgrounds meet the required learning outcomes.

B.Arch Admission Eligibility

For admission to the five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) programme, candidates must meet the following requirements:

1. Pass the 10+2 examination with at least 50% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, along with at least 50% aggregate marks overall; or
2. Pass a 10+3 Diploma examination with Mathematics as a compulsory subject and secure at least 50% aggregate marks.
3. Candidates must also qualify for the prescribed Architecture Aptitude Test conducted by the Council of Architecture (CoA)/NTA, including JEE Main Paper 2A, as applicable.
4. Admission is based on 50% weightage to the aptitude test and 50% weightage to qualifying examination marks, as prescribed by the applicable rules.

B.Plan Admission Eligibility

For admission to the first year of the Bachelor of Planning (B.Plan) programme, candidates must:

• Pass the 10+2 examination with subjects prescribed under the applicable AICTE eligibility criteria.
• Obtain at least 45% marks in the qualifying examination. The minimum requirement is 40% for eligible reserved-category candidates.
• Alternatively, candidates who have passed a D.Voc. programme in the same or an allied sector may also be eligible.

Important Notes

• For REAP, the reserved-category relaxation in minimum academic qualification applies to SC, ST, Non-Creamy Layer OBC, Non-Creamy Layer MBC and PwD candidates, as prescribed under the applicable Rajasthan admission rules.
• The list of Technical Vocational Subjects is aligned with the relevant CBSE and RBSE provisions.
• Applicable relaxation in qualifying marks may also be available to Kashmiri migrants.
• Since the AICTE does not prescribe an age limit for these admissions, no separate age limit is prescribed for admission through REAP, subject to the applicable admission rules.

REAP 2027 Rank & Admission Priority

B.E./B.Tech and B.Plan

The merit/rank list is prepared based on JEE Main 2027 rank or Class 12/Diploma performance, in the following priority order:

1. Sports Quota (Category-A): Priority as per the applicable sports quota policy.
2. JEE Main 2026 Rank: Second priority for candidates with 20 percentile or more in JEE Main.
3. Class 12 Percentile: Third priority for candidates not covered under the JEE Main category.
4. D.Voc Percentage: Fourth priority for candidates with a state-government-approved D.Voc in Engineering & Technology.

B.Arch (5 Years)

B.Arch merit is prepared using the aptitude test score (NATA 2026–27/JEE Main 2027 Paper 2A) and Class 12/Diploma performance:

1. Sports Quota (Category-A): Priority.
2. Class 12 + Aptitude Test: 50% weightage to Class 12 percentile + 50% to the higher aptitude test score.
3. Diploma + Aptitude Test: 50% Diploma percentage + 50% to the higher aptitude-test score.

Important points: For Class 12-based applications, the percentile is calculated comparatively using the number of applicants from the respective board. Additional-subject marks are included when required to determine the subject group. For Diploma candidates, the calculated Diploma percentage determines merit. In case of a tie, the older candidate gets a higher rank, followed by the candidate who applied earlier. Boards other than RBSE and CBSE are treated as equivalent to CBSE for percentile calculation.

REAP 2027 Application fee

REAP 2027 Application Fee & Registration

• The REAP 2026 application-cum-registration process is completely online. Candidates should fill out the form carefully.
• The application fee is ₹885 (₹750 + 18% GST). The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
• The application form becomes active automatically after successful payment of ₹885.

REAP 2027 Online Reporting Process

REAP 2026 introduced online reporting for allotted candidates. Candidates must complete reporting within the prescribed schedule to retain their allotted seat or participate in upward movement. Failure to report may result in cancellation.

First Allotment

1. Log in to the REAP candidate portal and check the allotted college/seat.
2. Download the allotment letter.
3. Click Online Reporting and pay the ₹10,000 Seat Acceptance Fee.
4. Check the payment status and download the receipt.
5. Review/update uploaded documents, if required.
6. Upload the Seat Acceptance Fee receipt, allotment letter, and signed Document Checklist.
7. Submit the online reporting request.
8. The allotted institute will verify the documents and confirm the reporting status.

Reporting Status

• Pending: Verification is still in progress.
• Reported: Documents and fee have been successfully verified with no pending objections.
• Conditionally Reported: Fee has been paid, but some document/query issues remain unresolved.
• Specially Conditionally Reported: A change in category or downward merit revision affects the current allotment, but the candidate remains eligible for subsequent rounds.
• Cancelled: Candidate is found ineligible under REAP rules.

Candidates can raise queries through the online ticket system or communicate with the allotted college through the reporting chat facility.

Upward Movement

Upward movement means getting a seat higher in the candidate’s preference list in a subsequent round. Candidates with Reported/Conditionally Reported status can participate if they apply for upward movement, while Specially Conditionally Reported candidates are automatically eligible.

If a higher-preference seat is allotted, the previous seat is automatically cancelled and cannot be claimed later.

For subsequent rounds, candidates need to complete online reporting again and upload the required allotment letter and documents. However, the ₹10,000 Seat Acceptance Fee is paid only for the first main allotment (separately for TFWS, Out-of-Rajasthan/KM, and main allotment).

REAP 2027 Seat Allocation: Modes and Rounds

REAP 2027 Merit List

REAP is primarily a merit-based admission process. The authority prepares merit according to the rules prescribed for the particular admission year. The 2027 merit criteria should not be assumed until the official booklet is released.

Candidates should therefore check whether their admission category is based on:

• JEE Main performance
• Class 12 marks
• Other eligible qualification
• Category
• Rajasthan eligibility
• Applicable tie-breaking rules

The 2026 REAP portal included a facility for candidates to check their merit/rank online.

REAP 2027 Counselling

REAP counselling is the process through which candidates compete for available engineering seats.

The broad process is expected to involve:

Registration → Application → Document Upload → Choice Filling → Choice Locking → Merit → Seat Allotment → Fee/Seat Acceptance → Reporting

The exact number of rounds and rules for upward movement or vacant seats will be announced for the 2027 session.

REAP 2027 Choice Filling

Choice filling is one of the most important stages.

Candidates should avoid filling choices randomly. Instead, create a preference list based on:

• College reputation
• Branch preference
• Previous closing ranks
• Location
• Fees
• Placement record
• Infrastructure
• Faculty
• Hostel facilities
• Accreditation
• Personal career goals

A candidate should generally include enough realistic choices rather than selecting only one or two highly competitive options.

REAP 2027 Internal Sliding Rules

• Candidates wishing to participate must apply through their allotted college and submit a branch preference form.
• Branches are allotted strictly according to the candidate’s preference order and REAP main merit.
• TFWS candidates are considered first for inter-branch sliding. Vacant TFWS seats are then offered to eligible candidates of the same branch.
• Candidates admitted under KM and Out-of-Rajasthan quotas can participate in internal sliding within their respective quota.
• Vacant KM/Out-of-Rajasthan seats after sliding are treated as General Open seats for Rajasthan candidates.
• Finally, internal sliding is conducted for General, EWS, OBC, MBC, SC, ST, TSP and TFWS categories against corresponding vacant seats.

REAP 2027 Documents Required

The final document list will be mentioned in the 2027 information booklet. Candidates should generally keep the following ready:

• Class 10 marksheet/certificate
• Class 12 marksheet/certificate
• JEE Main scorecard, wherever applicable
• JEE Main admit card, wherever required
• Recent photograph
• Signature
• Aadhaar/identity document
• Rajasthan domicile certificate, if applicable
• Category certificate, if applicable
• EWS certificate, if applicable
• PwD certificate, if applicable
• Income certificate, if applicable
• Transfer certificate
• Migration certificate, where applicable
• Other documents specified by the counselling authority

Candidates should ensure that certificates are valid for the relevant admission year.

REAP vs JEE Main

Many students confuse these two processes.

Feature	JEE Main	REAP
Type	Entrance examination	Admission/counselling process
Conducted for	Engineering admissions across India	Rajasthan engineering admissions
Exam	Yes	No separate REAP exam
Score/rank	JEE Main rank/score	REAP merit/allotment
Purpose	Entrance qualification	College/branch allocation
Application	NTA	Rajasthan admission authority

Therefore, a student planning B.Tech admission in Rajasthan should track both JEE Main 2027 and REAP 2027 where applicable.

REAP 2027 Admission Process: Simple Flow

• JEE Main/qualifying examination
• REAP registration
• Application form
• Document upload
• Merit/rank
• College and branch choice filling
• Choice locking
• Seat allotment
• Fee payment/seat acceptance
• Reporting at college

Make a college preference list early

Prepare three groups:

• Dream colleges: highly preferred and competitive
• Target colleges: realistic options based on expected rank
• Safe colleges: options where admission is more likely

This makes choice filling much easier when counselling starts.

REAP 2027 Cutoff

The REAP 2027 cutoff will be available only after the counselling process begins.

Cutoffs can vary substantially according to:

• College
• Engineering branch
• Category
• Gender/category-specific seats, where applicable
• Rajasthan eligibility
• Round
• Seat availability
• Candidate merit

Students should therefore avoid using a single “REAP cutoff” number for every college. A better approach is to examine college-wise and branch-wise closing ranks.

Final Thought

REAP 2027 is not an engineering entrance examination; it is Rajasthan’s engineering admission process. Students targeting B.E./B.Tech colleges in Rajasthan should therefore plan for the relevant qualifying examination—particularly JEE Main 2027—and then carefully follow the REAP 2027 registration, choice filling, and counselling schedule.

The most important information for candidates will be the official 2027 notification, eligibility rules, merit criteria, college list, seat matrix, and counselling schedule. Until these are released, dates and fees should be treated as tentative.

For the latest 2026 cycle, the REAP portal is also providing registration, application, document upload, choice filling, and allotment facilities.
