Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology Management & Gramothan | Cut-Off Details | Vidyavision

Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology Management & Gramothan (SKIT) in Jaipur, Rajasthan, uses a comprehensive merit-based admission system primarily managed through state-level and national-level entry metrics. Affiliated with Rajasthan Technical University (RTU), Kota, and consistently ranked at the top of technical education rankings in the state, the institution’s cut-offs vary significantly depending on the branch popularity, candidate domicile, and specific entrance examination outcomes.

While basic minimum academic eligibility is mandated by university affiliation boards, seat allocation is determined via centralized allotment rounds where the state merit ranks serve as the ultimate benchmark for closing rounds.

Admission Criteria

Admissions to SKIT’s flagship Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) program are systematically processed through the Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP), conducted by the Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG), Rajasthan.

The seat allocation framework operates under a distinct priority structure during REAP counseling rounds:

• Priority 1 (Rajasthan Domicile): Domiciled students of Rajasthan who hold a valid JEE Main score or percentile.
• Priority 2 (Rajasthan Domicile Academic): Domiciled candidates evaluated on the basis of their aggregate Class 12 board percentage (applicable for leftover seats or non-JEE applicants).
• Priority 3 (Non-Domicile / Out-of-State): Candidates from outside Rajasthan, whose selection relies directly on their national JEE Main ranks.

Eligibility Framework

To clear the initial hurdle for counseling, candidates must have passed their 10+2 examination from a recognized board with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, alongside an optional technical subject (Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, or Biology). The minimum score requirement is an aggregate of 45% marks for General/Open category candidates, with a relaxed baseline of 40% marks for reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/MBC) belonging to Rajasthan.

Seat Matrix Distribution

The total intake is distributed into specific entry pathways:

• 70% State Quota: Reserved exclusively for candidates holding a valid Rajasthan domicile.
• 15% Out-of-State Quota: Open to applicants hailing from other Indian states.
• 15% Institutional/Management Quota: Filled directly at the institutional level based on pure academic merit and matching background criteria.
• Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS): Supernumerary seats are allocated to high-merit students whose annual parental income falls under Rs. 00 Lakhs, providing full tuition exemptions.

Previous Year Cut-Off Trends

Because SKIT Jaipur operates under the dynamic choice-filling system of REAP counseling, fixed closing marks are not statically frozen; instead, they shift across subsequent allotment, upward movement, and internal sliding rounds.

Historically, core software branches—such as Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Information Technology (IT)—command highly competitive entry thresholds. Candidates aiming for flagship technical specializations typically need to secure a JEE Main percentile ranging between 65% to 85% or higher to lock an assured seat in the early allotment lists.

Estimated REAP State Merit & Percentile Trends

The table below maps out the estimated opening and closing trends observed during recent counseling cycles for the General/Open category versus relaxed/reserved configurations across diverse technical paths:

For postgraduate tracks like the Master of Business Administration (MBA), the institute considers valid scores from national tests like CAT, CMAT, MAT, or XAT. The baseline score trend hovers around the 50 percentile or above mark for general seat considerations, backed by a mandatory 50% graduation score requirement.

Exam-Wise and Category-Wise Trends

Exam-Wise Variables

The admission landscape demonstrates that relying solely on Class 12 board marks pushes a candidate to the secondary priority tier behind JEE Main rank-holders. Consequently, an applicant applying via the non-JEE route typically requires a highly competitive board profile—often touching 85% to 92% aggregate—to successfully land a seat in the computer science domain during later counseling phases.For M.Tech paths, a qualified GATE score grants direct entry, while non-GATE applicants are subject to localized RTU-CAM university entrance metrics based on leftover availability.

Category-Wise Deviations

• General / Open Category: Faces the most intense competition, with popular software streams closing quickly during the first three rounds of REAP state counseling.
• SC / ST / OBC (Non-Creamy Layer): Benefits from structured score relaxations within state quotas. Their closing cut-offs routinely dip by 10% to 15% in percentile requirements compared to open category thresholds.
• Economically Weaker Sections (EWS): Operates on specialized category rank pathways. Trends indicate EWS state merit ranks provide steady cushions, allowing entry into core tracks even if the raw overall general rank slips slightly behind.
• Management Quota & Spot Rounds: Seats allocated via the direct institutional channel do not adhere to rigid cut-off brackets. Instead, they are filled on a rolling basis post-centralized counseling, relying entirely on academic backgrounds and seat structural vacancies.

Prospective students must regularly monitor the official REAP portal (reaprajasthan.com) and SKIT's admissions desk following the announcement of national entrance results to lock down timely choice-filling strategies.
