The Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP) follows the reservation policy strictly laid out by the Government of Rajasthan. A specific percentage of seats in government, government-aided, and private un-aided engineering colleges are reserved for candidates belonging to various categories.
Note: Category-based reservations are primarily applicable to candidates holding a valid Rajasthan Domicile certificate. Out-of-state candidates are generally treated as Unreserved/General category unless specific central quotas apply.
Below is the detailed percentage breakdown of seats reserved for different categories in REAP 2026:
| Category | Reservation Quota (%) |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 16% |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 12% |
| Other Backward Classes (OBC - Non Creamy Layer) | 21% |
| More Backward Classes (MBC - Non Creamy Layer) | 5% |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 10% |
In addition to the vertical reservations mentioned above, REAP also applies horizontal reservations within these categories:
The TFWS is designed to assist economically backward students. Key highlights include:
One seat in each branch of all engineering institutions is reserved for candidates belonging to the Kashmiri Migrants category. Candidates must possess a valid certificate issued by the competent authority to claim this quota.
Ensure your category certificates (OBC-NCL, MBC-NCL, EWS) are recently issued and valid for the current financial year as per Rajasthan Government rules!
