|---|---|---|
| GEC Ajmer — ECE | 1,000 | 5,000 |
| MBM University Jodhpur — ECE | 2,500 | 8,000 |

REAP 2026 Choice Filling Strategy
The order in which you fill choices directly determines your allotment. REAP allots the highest-ranked choice your rank qualifies for — a wrong order can cost you a better college even if your rank was good enough for it.
- Know your REAP rank before opening the portal — compare it with the closing rank tables above to see which government colleges are within reach.
- Add aspirational choices first — colleges where your rank is slightly above last year’s closing rank may still have seats open in later rounds.
- Use the priority pattern: best college CSE > best college ECE > next college CSE > next college ECE — repeat this for every government college you are willing to attend.
- Place safe government seats in the middle of your list — add colleges where your rank falls comfortably within the closing rank to guarantee a government allotment.
- Add private colleges only after exhausting government options — fee savings of ₹60,000–₹1 lakh per year over four years amount to ₹2.5–4 lakh from a government seat.
- Use all 200 choice slots — going unallotted in a round means waiting for the next round and risking seat unavailability as rounds progress.
- Never place a less-preferred option above a more-preferred one — allotment follows your choice order strictly and you cannot reject a seat to move up within the same round.
- Lock choices only after a final review — once the window closes your preference list is frozen for that round.
Category-wise Closing Rank Variation for CSE and ECE
Reserved category students qualify at higher REAP rank numbers than the General category due to Rajasthan state reservation norms. The table shows approximate relaxation multipliers based on 2025 trends.
