Why Start REAP 2026 Prep in November 2025?

Historical pattern: REAP 2025’s portal saw peak traffic and user-reported slowdowns during the final registration week (June 26-30). Starting early helps you avoid last-minute technical issues and ensures error-free document submission.

Starting now gives you 4-6 weeks to:

Secure domicile certificates (typical processing time in Rajasthan)
Complete medical fitness tests at government hospitals
Shortlist 30+ colleges using published 2025 cutoff data
Prepare scanned documents meeting official specifications

Corrected Facts: What Most Sites Get Wrong

The Critical Error: Domicile Seat Percentage

❌ Wrong (on 90% of sites): “85% seats for Rajasthan domicile”
✅ CORRECT (per official seat matrix):

70% State Quota (Rajasthan domicile)
15% All India Quota (Institute-level)
15% Out-of-Rajasthan Quota

Who Actually Conducts REAP?

Three Admission Channels (Ranked by Priority)

Your rank determines your priority. No exceptions.

Priority	Basis	Minimum Threshold
1st	JEE Main 2026 rank	20 percentile minimum
2nd	Class 12 percentile	45% aggregate (40% for SC/ST/PwD)
3rd	Diploma in Engineering	Rajasthan state-approved only

How the system works: Priority 1 candidates are considered first for all seats. Only if Priority 1 seats remain unfilled (rare) do Priority 2 candidates get considered. This is why JEE Main is strongly recommended.

Choice-Filling Strategy: The 30-College Approach

Based on analysis of 2025 allotment patterns, successful candidates select at least 30 colleges across three risk buckets:

Aspirational (10): Colleges where 2025 cutoff was 10-20% above your expected rank
Realistic (15): Colleges matching your expected rank bracket
Safe (5): Colleges where 2025 cutoff was 20%+ below your rank

Example for JEE Main Rank 1,00,000 (Illustrative only):

Aspirational: MNIT Jaipur (Civil), RTU Kota (Mechanical)
Realistic: Poornima College (CS), JECRC University (ECE)
Safe: Arya Institute (IT), Vivekananda Institute (EE)

Common Mistakes That Killed 2025 Applications

Ignoring annual specification changes – Photo format, size limits change yearly. Check the current FAQ for exact specs.
School email addresses – Use permanent Gmail; you’ll need access till September 2026.
Not locking choices – “Saving” ≠ “Locking.” Unlocked choices are discarded.
Missing upward movement reporting – Got a seat in Round 3? You MUST report to stay eligible for Round 4 upgrades.
