Four distinct exam systems operate for Rajasthan engineering admissions. The appropriate route depends entirely on which institution a student is targeting.
| Exam | Who Applies | Colleges in Rajasthan Covered |
|---|---|---|
| JEE Advanced + JoSAA | All-India; 75%+ Class 12 + JEE Main qualified; top ~2.5 lakh JEE Main qualifiers | IIT Jodhpur only (BTech, BTech+MTech dual degree) |
| JEE Main + JoSAA / CSAB | All-India; 75%+ Class 12 (65% SC/ST); valid JEE Main rank | MNIT Jaipur + IIIT Kota (all seats via JoSAA; no direct admission) |
| BITSAT (BITS Admission Test) | All-India; 75%+ Class 12 + PCM minimum 60% each subject; only exam accepted by BITS | BITS Pilani (Pilani, Rajasthan) — not available through any other exam |
| REAP 2026 (Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process) | All-India (15% seats); Rajasthan domicile preferred (85%); 45%+ PCM (40% reserved); JEE Main score OR Class 12 marks | All RTU-affiliated govt + private colleges + MNIT Jaipur Architecture seats (partial); ~25,000+ seats across Rajasthan |
| MET + Private University Direct | All-India; 50%+ PCM; no domicile restriction | Manipal University Jaipur (MET); Amity University Jaipur (Amity JEE / CUET); others (direct JEE Main / Class 12 merit) |
IIT Jodhpur, MNIT Jaipur, and IIIT Kota have no direct admission and no management quota. BITS Pilani accepts only BITSAT — not JEE Main. For private RTU-affiliated colleges, REAP allows admission based on Class 12 marks alone for candidates who have not appeared for JEE Main (subject to seat availability after JEE Main rounds).
| College | Eligibility | Process |
|---|---|---|
| IIT Jodhpur | JEE Advanced mandatory | No management quota. 100% JEE Advanced + JoSAA. No REAP. |
| MNIT Jaipur | JEE Main mandatory; 75%+ Class 12 | No management quota. Any agent claiming MNIT direct admission for a fee is running a scam. |
| BITS Pilani | BITSAT mandatory; 75%+ Class 12; PCM min 60% each | No JEE Main. No management quota. Only BITSAT. No REAP. |
| MUJ (Manipal University Jaipur) | 50%+ PCM; MET or JEE Main preferred | After MET counselling, remaining seats filled by institutional counselling (Class 12 merit). Apply at jaipur.manipal.edu. |
| LNMIIT Jaipur | 50%+ PCM; JEE Main score preferred | Apply directly to LNMIIT; JEE Main score or Class 12 merit accepted for BTech. |
| JECRC, Poornima, SKIT, Arya, JECRC Foundation (RTU private) | 45%+ PCM Class 12; no JEE Main needed for REAP Class 12 merit seats | Register for REAP 2026 (reap2026.in). In later REAP rounds (after JEE Main quota filled), Class 12 marks alone are accepted. Direct admission also available through college management quota (25% seats) after REAP rounds. |
