REAP 2026 Merit List - Key Schedule at a Glance

The REAP Merit List 2026 is a key document that determines which candidates get to participate in the Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP) counselling for B.E./B.Tech seats across engineering colleges in Rajasthan. Conducted under the authority of CEG, Rajasthan, the merit list will be made available on the official portal, reaprajasthan.co.in. Candidates will need their application number and password to access the list online.

Both a provisional merit list and a final merit list will be published for REAP 2026. The provisional list gives candidates an opportunity to raise objections before the final rankings are confirmed. Only those whose names appear in the merit list will be eligible to proceed with the REAP 2026 counselling and seat allotment process.

REAP 2026 Merit List - Key Schedule at a Glance

This section outlines the important event-wise schedule for the REAP 2026 merit list and related processes. Keeping track of these milestones helps candidates stay prepared for each stage of the admission process.

How Is the REAP Merit List 2026 Prepared?

The REAP 2026 merit list is not based on a separate entrance exam. Instead, it is compiled by CEG, Rajasthan using a combination of existing scores and academic marks. Understanding how the ranking is done helps candidates gauge where they stand and whether their profile is competitive.

The merit list is prepared based on three primary factors:

• JEE Main 2026 Paper 1 rank (minimum 20 percentile required)
• Class 12th marks/percentile in Physics and Mathematics
• Engineering Diploma marks/percentage (for diploma holders)

REAP 2026 - Priority of Admission for B.E./B.Tech

The admission authority follows a clearly defined priority order when compiling the REAP merit list. Candidates are ranked based on which category of score applies to them. Higher-priority categories are considered first, and candidates in lower-priority categories are ranked only if no higher-priority qualification is available.

This structured priority system ensures that candidates with stronger national-level examination performance are given preference in the REAP seat allotment process.

The provisional (tentative) merit list is published first and candidates are given a window to raise objections if they find any discrepancy in their rank or data. After all objections are reviewed and resolved, the final merit list is published. Only the final merit list is used to determine eligibility for REAP counselling and seat allotment.

REAP Merit List 2026 - Tie-Breaking Rules

When two or more candidates have identical scores, the REAP authority applies a defined tie-breaking system to ensure fairness. This section explains the rules followed separately for Class 12th candidates and Engineering Diploma candidates.

Tie-Breaking for Class 12th Candidates

If two or more candidates share the same Class 12th marks or percentile, the following sequence is applied:

• The candidate with higher marks in Mathematics in Class 12th gets a better rank.
• If the tie continues, the candidate with higher marks in Physics in Class 12th gets preference.
• If the tie persists, age is considered the older candidate (higher date of birth) is ranked higher.
• If all the above are still equal, randomization is used to assign final ranks.

Tie-Breaking for Engineering Diploma Candidates

For candidates ranked on the basis of Engineering Diploma marks, the tie-breaking process is:

• The candidate with higher marks in Mathematics in the Diploma gets a better rank.
• If still tied, the older candidate (by date of birth) is ranked higher.
• If the tie continues even then, randomization is applied to determine final ranks.

REAP Counselling 2026 - What Happens After the Merit List?
