RPET 2026 Cut Offs

RPET 2026 Cut Offs

RPET 2026 cut offs determine eligibility for counselling through the Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP), varying by category, branch, college, and round based on factors like exam difficulty, applicant numbers, and seat availability. Qualifying cut offs ensure minimum scores for merit list inclusion, while college-specific closing ranks guide seat allotment for B.Tech programs in government and private institutes. Rajasthan domiciles benefit from 85% state quota with lower thresholds compared to all-India seats.

Expected qualifying marks hover around 70-80 out of 120 for general category, reflecting moderate competition and no negative marking. Reserved categories see 10-20% relaxations, aligning with state policies (SC 16%, ST 12%, OBC-NCL 21%). Cut offs release post-results on official portals, influencing choice filling strategies during REAP rounds.

Factors Influencing RPET 2026 Cut Offs

  • Several elements shape RPET 2026 cut offs annually.
  • Exam difficulty and normalization if multi-shift.
  • Total qualified candidates versus 50,000+ seats across branches.
  • Branch popularity: CSE/AI lowest ranks (highest cut offs), Civil higher ranks.
  • Category reservations and domicile status prioritizing Rajasthan residents.

Previous REAP trends show closing ranks dropping in later rounds, offering opportunities for borderline scorers.
