REAP in short
REAP (Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process) fills B.E./B.Tech seats in Rajasthan’s government and private engineering colleges. There is no separate entrance exam: merit is based on your JEE Main 2026 rank first (for candidates with at least 20 percentile), then Class 12 percentile, then diploma marks. The 2026 application fee was ₹885.

Choice-filling tips

- Note every fee and refund rule before accepting a seat, and keep payment receipts.
