Get a better college or branch through REAP's Upward Movement rounds. Understand the complete process — eligibility, schedule, steps, and what happens after the result is declared.
Result declared — check if your seat has been upgraded to a higher preference.
A second chance to secure your dream college or branch — automatically processed by the system.
REAP Upward Movement is a special round conducted by the Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process after the initial seat allotment rounds. During this round, students who have already reported to an allotted college and opted for upgradation can potentially receive a better seat — a higher-ranked college or a more preferred branch — based on vacancies created by candidates who did not report within the deadline.
The system automatically processes upgradation based on your original merit rank and the order of choices you submitted during choice-filling. You do not need to fill choices again. Your original preferences are used as-is to determine if a higher seat is available for you.
No manual application needed. The system evaluates your higher preferences against available vacant seats automatically based on merit.
If no upgrade is available, your current allotted seat remains safe and confirmed. It will not be cancelled under any circumstance.
Your choice list from the original choice-filling round is used. Higher preferences are checked in exact order of your preference number.
If upgraded, reporting to the new college within the given deadline is mandatory. Missing it cancels your entire admission.
Not all candidates are automatically eligible. Verify your status before the round begins.
| Criterion | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Reported to allotted college | Candidate must have physically reported and completed document verification at the initially allotted institute within the reporting window. | Required |
| Opted for upward movement | During reporting, the candidate must have selected the option to participate in upward movement. This is done at the college level and cannot be changed afterwards. | Required |
| Higher preferences exist | The candidate must have at least one higher-preference choice during original choice filling that has not yet been allotted to them. | Conditional |
| Valid merit rank | Your rank must fall within the cutoff for the upgraded seat (college + branch + category) to be considered for upgradation. | Merit-Based |
| Seat not frozen | Candidates who chose to "freeze" their seat during reporting are permanently excluded from all upward movement rounds. | Disqualified |
Follow these steps carefully to make the most of the REAP Upward Movement round.
Complete the physical reporting at your allotted institute within the stipulated deadline. Submit all original documents and pay any required security deposit to secure your seat for the upward movement round.
At the time of reporting, explicitly inform the college authority that you wish to participate in upward movement. The institute will mark your preference on the REAP portal. This step is mandatory and cannot be done later.
REAP processes the upward movement after all reporting closes. Vacant seats (due to non-reporting candidates) are redistributed among eligible upward movement participants based on merit rank and original choice order.
Visit the official REAP portal as soon as the result is declared. Log in with your credentials and navigate to the upward movement allotment section on your dashboard.
If you receive an upgraded seat, your old seat is automatically cancelled. Download the new Provisional Allotment Letter (PAL) and report to the newly allotted college within the deadline with all original documents. Failure means your admission is cancelled entirely.
If your seat is not upgraded, no action is required from your side. Your previously allotted seat remains confirmed and finalized. Simply continue your admission process at the original college.

Answers to the most common questions about REAP Upward Movement 2026.
Your original seat is automatically cancelled once you receive an upgraded allotment through upward movement. The system assigns the vacated seat to the next eligible candidate. You must report to the new (upgraded) college within the deadline to retain your upgraded seat.
No. If you chose to "freeze" your seat at the time of reporting, you are permanently ineligible for any upward movement round. Only candidates who explicitly opted for "upgradation / upward movement" during their initial reporting are considered.
No, you do not need to fill choices again. The system uses your original choice list submitted during the choice-filling phase. It checks if any of your higher preferences (choices ranked above your currently allotted seat) have become available due to vacancies.
If your seat is not upgraded, no action is needed. Your previously allotted seat remains confirmed and finalized. You continue your admission at the same college without any penalty or risk to your existing seat.
Yes. Upward movement in REAP applies to all types of participating institutes — government, government-aided, and private colleges listed under REAP counselling. It covers all branches and all seat categories including General, OBC, SC, ST, and TFWS.
REAP typically conducts 2 to 3 upward movement rounds depending on seat availability and the overall counselling timeline. Each round results in a new allotment letter and a fresh reporting window. Candidates must report after each round if they receive an upgrade.
Fee transfer policies may vary. Generally, the fee paid to the old college is either transferred to the new college or refunded as per REAP guidelines and the respective college’s refund policy. Check the official REAP notification or contact your current college for specific details.
