The **REAP 2026 Cutoff** refers to the minimum rank or percentile required by a candidate to get admission into their desired engineering college and branch in Rajasthan. The cutoff is released after each round of counseling by the Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG).
Admission is primarily based on **JEE Main Rank**, followed by **Class 12th Percentile** and **Diploma Marks**. Candidates with a higher rank or percentage have a better chance of securing seats in top government colleges like MBM University, CTAE Udaipur, and RTU Kota.
The cutoff varies for different categories (General, SC, ST, OBC, MBC, EWS) and for candidates from Outside Rajasthan (OR).

Candidates can follow these steps to check the opening and closing ranks once the counseling begins:
Analyzing previous year trends helps in predicting the college you might get. For example, MBM Jodhpur CSE usually closes within the top 500 state ranks, while colleges like EC Bikaner or EC Ajmer might accept candidates with lower percentiles.
It is advisable to fill maximum choices during the option form filling to increase your chances of securing a seat.
For the CSE branch, the cutoff usually closes around the 90-95 percentile for General category candidates. For other branches, it may vary between 70-85 percentile.
The cutoff is determined based on the number of applicants, difficulty level of JEE Main, Class 12th results, and the total number of available seats in participating colleges.
Yes, 15% of seats are reserved for Outside Rajasthan (OR) candidates. Since they are treated as General category, their cutoff is generally higher than state domicile candidates.
The official cutoff and merit list will be released on the REAP official website (reap2026.in or ceg.rajasthan.gov.in) after each round of counseling.
Yes, the cutoff usually drops in subsequent rounds (Round 2 and Internal Sliding) as seats remain vacant or candidates withdraw.
