The Rajasthan Technical University Centralized Admission for Merit (RTU CAM) 2026 counselling process is a structured and sequential method to allocate seats in M.Tech and M.Arch courses across RTU Kota and its affiliated colleges. This merit-based counselling follows declaration of eligibility through GATE scores or qualifying degree merit and ensures transparent, fair admission to eligible candidates.
The counselling begins with online registration on the official CAM portal at rtu.ac.in. Prospective candidates log in using their application credentials and pay the counselling fee (generally INR 3000 for general category and INR 1500 for reserved). This fee confirms participation eligibility and must be paid within specified deadlines, failing which candidature is cancelled.
After fee confirmation, candidates fill choices for their preferred M.Tech/M.Arch specializations and institutes available under RTU. Candidates should strategically prioritize based on interest, college reputation, and their merit rank. Choice locking before the deadline is mandatory; the system auto-locks afterwards, disallowing further changes.
RTU prepares merit lists considering GATE scores or academic merit for non-GATE candidates. Based on rank, category, and locked preferences, computer algorithms allot seats centrally. Allotment results publish on the CAM website, and candidates can download allotment letters for admission.
Post-allotment, candidates must report to their allotted institutes within specified timelines for document verification. Original certificates (degree marksheets, GATE scorecard, category and domicile proofs) are verified. Fee payment to the institute confirms the admission seat. Failure to report or provide documents results in forfeiture.
Multiple counselling rounds allow candidates to upgrade seats or fill vacancies. Candidates who miss initial rounds or seek lateral entries can benefit from spot rounds conducted by respective colleges, where direct admissions may be possible.
