The left half features a muted olive-green background with the "CAREER PLAN B" logo—a green bird inside a yellow circle—at the upper left. Centered prominently is bold text reading: “REAP 2026 Rajasthan Engineering Admission Notification.” Below that, against a beige banner, is the subtitle: “Dates, Eligibility, and Admission Process.” The right half has a torn paper effect revealing a light tan layer beneath, with the word “admission” in large, bold black letters. The overall design provides essential details about the REAP 2026 engineering admission process in Rajasthan, including key dates, eligibility, and procedures.

Introduction

For students aspiring to pursue a B.Tech degree in Rajasthan, the Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP) serves as the centralized counselling platform to secure admission. Conducted by the Rajasthan Technical University (RTU), Kota, this process opens the gateway to hundreds of government and private engineering colleges across the state. Moreover, the Directorate of Technical Education, Rajasthan oversees the entire procedure, and students can access official updates on hte.rajasthan.gov.in.

Unlike other states, Rajasthan does not conduct a separate entrance exam for REAP. Instead, the authorities consider either your JEE (Main) score or your Class 12th marks for admission. Therefore, understanding the complete process, important dates, and eligibility criteria becomes crucial for every aspirant. By reviewing the REAP 2026 schedule based on previous years, you can plan your preparation early and approach the admission cycle with confidence.
