From JEE Main Result to Final Physical Reporting — The Full REAP Sequence
REAP's calendar begins downstream of JEE Main's national result schedule and typically spans from May registration through August physical reporting. Unlike single-round systems, REAP has historically run a relatively larger number of rounds (including main rounds plus internal sliding/upgradation sub-rounds) compared to some other state systems, reflecting the scale and seat-category complexity of Rajasthan's engineering admission pool.
| Stage | Typical Window | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Online Registration Opens | Mid-to-late May | Candidates register using JEE Main or board-marks credentials |
| Document Upload & Verification | Late May – June | Category, domicile, and academic certificates uploaded and verified |
| Choice Filling | June | Candidates rank-order college-branch preferences |
| Merit List Publication | Early July | Priority 1 (JEE Main) and Priority 2 (board marks) merit lists finalized |
| Round 1 Seat Allotment | Early-to-mid July | First allotment, often covering out-of-state and TFWS pools alongside general allotment |
| Round 2 Seat Allotment | Mid-to-late July | Upgradation across Rajasthan-domicile and other candidate pools |
| Further Rounds / Main State Allotment | Late July | Additional rounds as seats continue to be allocated |
| Internal Sliding | Early August | Branch-upgrade-only movement within an already-allotted college |
| Physical Reporting | Mid-to-late August | Final document verification and admission confirmation at allotted colleges |
REAP has, in several recent cycles, structured its process into as many as eight to ten distinct rounds (including sub-rounds for specific candidate pools like TFWS or out-of-state categories) plus a separate internal sliding round — more granular than many comparable state systems. This reflects Rajasthan's effort to maximize seat utilization across its large, diverse pool of over 100 colleges by giving candidates multiple structured opportunities to improve their allotment before the admission cycle closes.
A notable feature of REAP's calendar is the dedicated Internal Sliding round, which allows a candidate already allotted a seat at a specific college to move to a different, preferred branch within that same college — without risking their seat at that institution entirely, as a full float/upgrade across colleges would. This is distinct from the main upgrade rounds and runs as its own scheduled sub-process, typically in early August.
Because Round 1 allotment depends on the JEE Main Common Merit List, any delay in the national JEE Main Session 2 result declaration pushes the entire REAP calendar back correspondingly. The broad May-to-August window has remained fairly consistent across recent years, though the exact number and sequencing of rounds has varied somewhat cycle to cycle based on seat-matrix complexity and vacancy levels.
Typically in mid-to-late May, with the exact date depending on the JEE Main Session 2 result timeline.
REAP has run as many as eight to ten rounds in recent cycles (including sub-rounds for specific pools), plus a separate internal sliding round for branch upgrades within the same college.
A dedicated round allowing a candidate already allotted a seat at a college to move to a different branch within that same college, without a full cross-college float/upgrade.
Typically in mid-to-late August, within a defined window after a candidate's final confirmed allotment.
