What is REAP 2026 SC Category Cutoff?
The REAP 2026 SC category cutoff is the last JEE Main rank at which a Scheduled Caste student from Rajasthan secures a seat in a specific college and branch during counselling. It is also called the closing rank for SC category. The cutoff is declared round-wise after each seat allotment. SC students compete only against other SC applicants for the reserved seats, so the SC closing rank is generally higher in number than the general category closing rank for the same college and branch.
To claim SC reservation in REAP 2026, you must hold an SC caste certificate issued by the Rajasthan state government. An SC certificate from another state does not qualify for reservation under REAP state-quota admissions.

Factors Affecting REAP 2026 SC Category Cutoff
The REAP 2026 SC closing rank can shift from 2025 based on the following factors:
- JEE Main 2026 difficulty level: A harder paper spreads the rank distribution which can raise SC closing ranks across all colleges.
- SC applicant pool size in Rajasthan: More SC students registering for REAP counselling increases competition and tightens closing ranks.
- Total SC intake: Any increase in reserved seats for SC category can relax the closing rank.
- Round of allotment: SC closing ranks rise in later rounds as high-demand seats are filled. Students who miss round 1 may secure a seat in rounds 2 or 3 at the same college.
- Branch preference trends: Rising demand for CSE and IT among SC students has tightened closing ranks for these branches year on year.
