Welcome to Ekosh Online. The Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP) Final Merit List 2025 was released on July 11, 2025, by the Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG), Jaipur, marking a significant milestone for thousands of candidates seeking admission to B.E./B.Tech and B.Arch courses in Rajasthan’s engineering colleges. Available on the official website reap2025.com, the merit list determines eligibility for counseling and seat allotment across government-aided and private unaided technical institutes in the state.
With 85% seats reserved for Rajasthan-domiciled candidates and 15% for out-of-state candidates, the merit list is a crucial step in securing one of the approximately 40,000 B.Tech seats available through REAP 2025. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the REAP Final Merit List 2025, how to check it, key details, required documents, and the next steps for successful candidates.
Overview of REAP 2025
The Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process (REAP) 2025, conducted by CEG on behalf of the Rajasthan Technical University (RTU), is a centralized, merit-based admission process for B.E./B.Tech and B.Arch programs. Unlike other entrance exams, REAP does not conduct a separate test; admissions are based on JEE Main 2025 ranks, Class 12 percentile, or state-approved Diploma in Engineering & Technology marks. The application process began on May 28, 2025, and concluded on July 2, 2025, with a correction window until July 7, 2025. Over 50,000 candidates registered for REAP 2025, competing for seats in prestigious institutes like Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur, College of Technology and Engineering (Udaipur), and other top private colleges such as Arya College of Engineering and Technology, Jaipur.
The provisional merit list was released on July 4, 2025, allowing candidates to raise objections until July 7, 2025. After addressing discrepancies, the final merit list was published on July 11, 2025, paving the way for the counseling and seat allotment process.
