Read on for a comprehensive guide to the REAP 2026 final expected cutoffs, the complete college list, and strategic choice-filling advice.
Understanding REAP 2026 Counselling Rounds
The REAP admission lifecycle follows a structured sequence. To maximize your chances of getting a premium seat, you need to understand how the final rounds progress:
- Round 1 (TFWS Allotment): Dedicated to students qualifying under the Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS). This round offers significant fee concessions for high-merit students.
- Round 2 (State & All India Merit Allotment): The regular seat allotment round for Rajasthan Domicile (85% seats) and Out of State (15% seats) candidates.
- Round 3 (Upward Movement): If you are not satisfied with your allotted seat in Round 2, you must physically report to the allotted college, pay the admission fee, and opt for Upward Movement. If a vacant seat matching a higher preference on your list opens up, you will be upgraded automatically.
- Spot Round (Direct Admission): Conducted at the end of the regular counselling rounds to fill remaining vacant seats across colleges. It is held at the institute level.
- Internal Sliding: For candidates who have already reported and settled in a college. This process allows sliding to a better branch (e.g., from ECE to CSE) within the same college based on merit.

Expected REAP 2026 Final Cutoffs (CSE Branch)
Admissions in REAP are determined by your REAP Merit Rank rather than your JEE Main All-India Rank (AIR). CEG Rajasthan translates your JEE Main percentile (Priority 1) or Class 12th PCM marks (Priority 2) into a state merit list.
The table below highlights the expected JEE Main percentile cutoff ranges for the highly competitive Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) branch in top-tier colleges:
Top Government & Government-Aided Colleges
| College Name | Expected JEE Main Percentile (Gen) | Expected REAP Merit Rank | Approx. Annual Fee |

Strategic Choice Filling & Admission Tips
Locking your preferences correctly in REAP final counselling can drastically alter your college outcome. Follow this strategy:
- Rank Government Colleges First: Always keep MBM, RTU Kota, and CTAE Udaipur at the top of your list. Even if your JEE Main percentile is slightly below the expected cutoff, vacant seats from early dropouts might clear up for you in the Upward Movement round.
- Don't Ignore TFWS Seats: If your family income is under ₹8 Lakhs per annum, apply for TFWS seats. It waives the entire tuition fee. Ensure you place TFWS options above non-TFWS options for the same branch.
- Physical Reporting is Mandatory: If you get allotted a seat in Round 2, you must report physically to that college, submit your documents, and pay the first-semester fee to keep your candidature alive for Round 3 (Upward Movement). If you do not report, you are kicked out of the regular counselling process.
- Keep Spot Rounds as a Backup: If your merit rank is very low and you missed out on top private colleges during regular rounds, keep an eye on college websites for Spot Round announcements. Many colleges fill vacant seats directly on a first-come, first-served basis during spot rounds.
Confused About the Choice Locking Order? Locking the wrong colleges can get you stuck in a sub-par institute with low placements. At CareerWithMohit, we build custom preference sheets tailored to your domicile status, category, budget, and JEE Main percentile.
