REAP 2026 OBC category cutoff is expected to close between REAP rank 800 and 1,300 for CSE at MBM University Jodhpur and between 5,000 and 9,000 at most other Rajasthan government engineering colleges, based on 2025 trends.
REAP (Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process) 2026 is conducted by the Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG), Rajasthan. Merit is computed using JEE Main 2026 score with 60% weight and Class 12 PCM marks with 40% weight. OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) students benefit from 21% seat reservation across all government engineering colleges and receive effective relaxation in closing ranks compared to the General category. The REAP 2026 final merit list was released on July 2, 2026 and choice filling closes on July 6, 2026.
- REAP 2026 admission uses JEE Main score (60%) and Class 12 PCM marks (40%) to compute the merit rank.
- Rajasthan reserves 21% of seats for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) students in all government engineering colleges.
- OBC students at MBM University Jodhpur can expect CSE admission with REAP rank up to 1,300 based on 2025 trends.
- Students with REAP rank up to 13,000 – 14,000 may secure seats at newer government colleges under the OBC quota.
- Three counselling rounds are conducted; students can upgrade to better colleges in subsequent rounds.

What is REAP OBC Cutoff?
The REAP OBC cutoff is the highest REAP merit rank at which a seat is allotted to an OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) student in a given college and branch combination. It is not fixed in advance; it emerges after seat allotment in each round based on how many OBC students fill choices for a college and how many reserved seats are available.
The REAP merit rank for all students including OBC is computed as:
- 60% weight — JEE Main 2026 score (normalized marks out of 300)
- 40% weight — Class 12 PCM aggregate percentage
OBC students can appear for allotment under the OBC (NCL) reserved quota and also compete for General category seats if their rank is competitive enough. The minimum Class 12 eligibility for OBC students is 40% aggregate in PCM, compared to 45% for the General category.

Factors Affecting REAP 2026 OBC Cutoff
The REAP 2026 OBC cutoff for each college and branch depends on several variables:
- JEE Main 2026 score distribution: A higher proportion of students scoring above a given threshold increases competition and tightens closing ranks for every category.
- Total OBC seats per college: With 21% OBC reservation applied to total intake, any change in seat count shifts the closing rank proportionally.
- Choice filling behaviour: Students who skip less-preferred colleges leave seats that close at higher (more relaxed) ranks, giving students with lower ranks a chance at allotment.
- New branches or increased intake: Colleges adding new branches or extra seats in 2026 typically see relaxed first-year cutoffs in those branches.
- Round of allotment: Round 1 closing ranks are generally tighter than Round 2 or the Spot Round, where unfilled seats are allotted to students with comparatively lower ranks.
