Rajasthan LEEP 2027: Application Expected June, Eligibility, Counselling and College List

Rajasthan LEEP 2027 (Lateral Entry in Engineering Program) is a state-level, merit-based admission process that allows diploma holders and B.Sc. graduates with Mathematics to seek direct admission to the 2^nd year (3^rd semester) of B.E./B.Tech programs at AICTE-approved engineering colleges across Rajasthan. The Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG), Jaipur, manages the centralized online portal, while Rajasthan Technical University (RTU), Kota, provides academic oversight. The 2027 cycle notification is expected around June–July 2027, following the 2026 cycle pattern when the portal went live on July 8, 2026 and applications closed within 16 days on July 24, 2026.

• Application Window: Rajasthan LEEP 2027 registration is expected to open around June–July 2027. In 2026, the portal opened on July 8 and closed on July 24 — a window of just 16 days — so candidates should monitor the official portal from May 2027 onwards.
• Merit List: The Rajasthan LEEP 2027 merit list is expected in August 2027, roughly 10–15 days after the application deadline. There is no written entrance test — your merit rank is based solely on your diploma or B.Sc. aggregate percentage.
• Counselling Round 1: Rajasthan LEEP 2027 counselling is expected to begin in August–September 2027, running in 3–4 online rounds across 139+ participating engineering colleges in Rajasthan.
• Application Fee: The 2027 application fee is expected around ₹885–₹1,000 based on recent cycle trends (₹885 in 2026; ₹1,180 in 2025). The exact fee will be confirmed with the official 2027 notification.

What is Rajasthan LEEP 2027?

Rajasthan LEEP stands for Rajasthan Lateral Entry in Engineering Program. It is a centralized online admission process for lateral entry into the 2^nd year (3^rd semester) of four-year B.E./B.Tech programs at AICTE-approved engineering colleges in Rajasthan. The most important distinction: LEEP does not conduct any written entrance examination. Admission is purely merit-based, determined by your aggregate percentage in your qualifying diploma or B.Sc. examination.

LEEP is designed for candidates who have already completed a 3-year engineering diploma from the Board of Technical Education Rajasthan (BTER) or another recognized board, or a B.Sc. degree with Mathematics. Through LEEP, these candidates skip the first year of B.Tech entirely and join directly from the second year — saving one full academic year compared to a fresh B.Tech candidate.

More than 139 engineering colleges across Rajasthan participate in the LEEP process, covering cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer, and Bikaner. Government colleges like MBM University, Jodhpur, fill all their lateral entry seats exclusively through LEEP — there is no management quota for lateral entry at such institutions. This makes LEEP the single most important admission route for diploma engineers in Rajasthan who want a B.Tech degree.

The Rajasthan LEEP 2027 cycle is expected to follow the same structure as previous cycles. The 2026 cycle was managed through the official portal at leeprajasthan.co.in, with CEG Jaipur as the convenor. The 2027 portal URL may be year-specific (e.g., leep2027.com) — always navigate from cegrajasthan.in to reach the verified current-year LEEP portal.

One critical pattern you should know: the Rajasthan LEEP application window has shifted between years. In 2025, the portal opened as late as August 11. In 2026, it opened in early July. This unpredictability means you should not wait for news from coaching centres — check the official CEG portal directly and regularly starting from May 2027.

Rajasthan LEEP 2027 Eligibility Criteria

Rajasthan LEEP 2027 eligibility is based entirely on your qualifying examination percentage. There is no age bar and no requirement to clear a written test. You must fall into one of two categories — diploma holders or B.Sc. graduates — and meet the minimum percentage criteria for your reservation category.

Category A: Engineering Diploma Holders

This is the primary eligibility route for Rajasthan LEEP 2027. You must have passed a minimum 3-year engineering diploma (2-year in some applicable cases) from an AICTE-approved institution or a State Board of Technical Education. The specific conditions are:

• Minimum marks (General/EWS): 45% aggregate in the diploma
• Minimum marks (Reserved): 40% for SC, ST, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), MBC, and SBC candidates of Rajasthan
• Mathematics: Must be a compulsory subject in your diploma program
• Backlogs: No active backlogs at the time of admission confirmation
• BTER advantage: Candidates with a BTER (Board of Technical Education, Rajasthan) diploma hold Priority 1 status in the domicile category system — the strongest priority group

Category B: B.Sc. Graduates

B.Sc. graduates from UGC-recognized universities can also apply for Rajasthan LEEP 2027. The conditions are:

• Minimum marks (General/EWS): 45% in B.Sc. degree
• Minimum marks (Reserved): 40% for eligible reserved categories
• Mathematics at 12th level: You must have studied Mathematics as a subject in Class 12 (10+2)
• University recognition: B.Sc. degree must be from a UGC-recognized university

Domicile Priority Categories

Rajasthan LEEP uses a domicile-based priority system during seat allotment. Candidates with a higher priority number get preference when merit ranks are equal. The five priority levels are:

Physical Fitness (Branch-Specific)

Most B.Tech branches via LEEP have no physical fitness requirement. However, some government college branches — particularly Mining Engineering — require a basic medical check:

• Height: Minimum 1.5 m (males), 1.4 m (females)
• Weight: Minimum 41 kg (males), 37 kg (females)
• Vision and hearing: Normal; no color blindness for Mining branch

For CSE, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, ECE, and IT branches, there is generally no physical fitness condition. Always verify branch-specific requirements in the official 2027 LEEP information booklet.

How to Apply for Rajasthan LEEP 2027

The Rajasthan LEEP 2027 application process is entirely online. You must apply through the official LEEP portal managed by CEG Jaipur. The window is short — typically 15–20 days — so you should keep all documents scanned and ready before the portal opens. Here is the complete step-by-step process:

• Step 1 – Online Registration: Visit the official LEEP portal (leeprajasthan.co.in) and create your account using your name, mobile number, and email address. You will receive login credentials via SMS and email.
• Step 2 – Fill the Application Form: Log in and fill in your personal details (name, date of birth, address), academic details (diploma or B.Sc. percentage, branch, institution name, year of passing), and domicile/reservation category information.
• Step 3 – Upload Documents: Upload scanned copies of all required documents. Your photo must be in JPG format (max 100 KB) and your signature in JPG format (max 50 KB). Other documents are also submitted in scanned form.
• Step 4 – Pay the Application Fee: Pay the registration fee online via net banking, debit/credit card, UPI, or through an e-Mitra kiosk. Keep the payment receipt. The fee is non-refundable once paid.
• Step 5 – Submit and Print Confirmation: Review all entered details carefully. After final submission, download and print the application confirmation slip for your records.
• Step 6 – Choice Filling (during Counselling): After the merit list is published, log in again during the counselling window to fill and lock your preferred colleges and branches in order of priority.

You cannot edit your application after submission. Double-check your diploma percentage and branch details before hitting submit — errors in percentage can affect your merit rank and seat allotment.

In the 2026 cycle, CEG Rajasthan provided a helpline at 7597772292 (Monday–Friday, 9:30 AM–6:00 PM) and WhatsApp support for technical issues. Similar support is expected for the 2027 cycle — the contact details will be published with the official notification.

Rajasthan LEEP 2027 Application Fee

The Rajasthan LEEP 2027 application fee is expected to be around ₹885–₹1,000, based on what candidates paid in recent cycles. The fee has varied each year and the exact amount for 2027 will be confirmed with the official notification. Here is the fee trend from previous cycles:

The application fee is non-refundable once paid. You should pay it only after confirming your eligibility. Payment options include net banking, debit/credit card, UPI, and e-Mitra kiosk — all online modes are accepted.

There is also a separate institution registration fee (paid by colleges, not applicants) — in 2026, this was ₹17,700. An advance seat acceptance fee of approximately ₹10,000 may also be collected when you provisionally accept a seat during counselling. This amount is typically adjusted against the tuition fee or refunded if you do not confirm admission. Check the 2027 information booklet for the exact refund policy.

Documents Required for Rajasthan LEEP 2027

You must keep all documents ready before the Rajasthan LEEP 2027 portal opens, since the application window is very short. Missing even one document can delay your application or lead to cancellation of your seat during verification at the allotted college.

For the Online Application (Scanned Copies)

• Passport-size photograph (JPG, max 100 KB)
• Signature (JPG, max 50 KB)
• Class 10 certificate and marksheet
• Class 12 certificate and marksheet

Carry original documents and two sets of self-attested photocopies to the document verification at your allotted college. Failure to produce even one required document on the day of verification can result in cancellation of your allotted seat.

Rajasthan LEEP 2027 Seat Allotment

Seat allotment for Rajasthan LEEP 2027 is done through a computerized process on the official portal. The system considers your merit rank, locked college and branch preferences, domicile priority category, and the reservation policy of the Rajasthan government.

Key things you should know about seat allotment for Rajasthan LEEP 2027:

• The higher your diploma or B.Sc. percentage, the better your chances of getting your first-choice branch and college.
• Government colleges like MBM University, Jodhpur, have no management quota for lateral entry. All their LEEP seats are filled only through the official computerized allotment — giving LEEP candidates a fair shot purely on merit.
• Private colleges may have some management-quota lateral entry seats outside LEEP. But the majority of lateral entry seats at private engineering colleges in Rajasthan are filled via LEEP.
• After each round’s allotment is published, you must report to the allotted college within the given deadline. If you do not confirm (via document verification and fee payment), your seat is cancelled and returned to the pool.
• The seat matrix — showing the number of available LEEP seats per branch per college — is published on the official portal before counselling begins. Use it to identify colleges with more vacant seats in your preferred branch, which improves your chances.

You should fill preferences strategically: list your most preferred college and branch first, followed by progressively more accessible options. The system picks your highest achievable preference based on your rank — so a longer, well-thought-out preference list always works in your favor.

Top Colleges Accepting Rajasthan LEEP 2027

More than 139 engineering colleges across Rajasthan participate in LEEP 2027. These include government colleges, autonomous universities, and private institutions affiliated with RTU Kota. Below are some of the well-known colleges you can target through Rajasthan LEEP 2027, based on participation in recent LEEP cycles.

The complete, verified list of participating colleges for 2027 — including the seat matrix showing how many LEEP seats each college offers per branch — will be published on the official portal with the 2027 notification. College participation can change from cycle to cycle, so always use the official 2027 seat matrix and not third-party listings for your choice filling.

Government colleges are generally the most preferred because of significantly lower tuition fees and historically strong placement records. However, private colleges participating in LEEP tend to have more seats per branch, making them more accessible if your merit rank is moderate. Many top private colleges in Jaipur also offer strong industry partnerships and campus placements that compare well with government institutions for certain branches.

Branch-wise Eligibility for Rajasthan LEEP 2027

Your diploma branch determines which B.Tech branches you can apply for through Rajasthan LEEP 2027. The branch mapping follows AICTE lateral entry guidelines and the official LEEP information booklet released each cycle. Below is a general guide — always verify with the official 2027 booklet as the mapping can be updated.

If you hold a diploma in a branch not listed above, check the official LEEP 2027 information booklet for the exact eligibility mapping. Some colleges also allow cross-branch admission for certain combinations — for example, an Electronics diploma candidate applying for Electrical Engineering. The official booklet is the final authority on which branch combinations are permitted in a given cycle.

B.Sc. graduates are eligible for Rajasthan LEEP but are placed in domicile Priority 4 or 5 — lower than all diploma categories. This means B.Sc. candidates compete in a separate pool where they generally find seats more easily at private colleges than at highly competitive government institutions. If you are a B.Sc. graduate, you should apply to a wider range of colleges during choice filling to improve your chances.

Previous Year Rajasthan LEEP: Cycle Comparison

Looking at the last three LEEP cycles helps you understand what to expect for 2027. The key variables — when the portal opens, the application fee, and the number of participating colleges — have all shifted across years. Here is a comparison of confirmed data from 2024, 2025, and 2026.

One pattern stands out clearly: the LEEP application window has been short across all three cycles — never more than 20 days. In 2026, it was just 16 days from opening to deadline. For 2027, candidates who miss the first announcement risk missing the entire cycle.

The application fee has also fluctuated significantly — from ₹700 in 2024 to ₹1,180 in 2025, then back down to ₹885 in 2026. This variation means you should not budget rigidly for a specific fee; keep ₹1,200 ready as a safe upper estimate for 2027. The exact fee will be confirmed in the official 2027 notification.

The number of participating colleges has remained stable at around 139 colleges across three cycles. This consistency means the overall seat landscape across Rajasthan is relatively predictable year to year, though individual colleges can join or exit the program each cycle.

Tips to Strengthen Your Rajasthan LEEP 2027 Application

Since Rajasthan LEEP 2027 is merit-based and requires no written test, the tips here focus on how to navigate the process strategically to maximize your chances of getting your preferred branch and college.

• Start monitoring the portal from May 2027: The LEEP application window is short — often 15–20 days. If you miss the announcement, you wait a full year. Check leeprajasthan.co.in and cegrajasthan.in from May 2027 onwards.
• Verify your diploma percentage before applying: Your merit rank is calculated from the aggregate percentage you enter. An error — even a small one — affects your rank and seat allotment. Cross-check against every semester marksheet before filling the form.
• Scan all documents before the portal opens: The upload step takes time. Keep your diploma marksheets, Class 10 and 12 certificates, domicile proof, and caste certificate (if applicable) scanned and in the correct format (JPG, under 100 KB for photo and 50 KB for signature) before the portal goes live.
• Understand your domicile priority: If you hold a BTER Rajasthan diploma, you are in Priority 1 — the strongest category. If you have a diploma from another state board or a B.Sc. degree, know your priority level and plan your college choices accordingly.
• Fill a comprehensive preference list during choice filling: Start with your dream college and branch at the top. Then add progressively more accessible choices. The more options you add, the better your chances of securing at least one seat in the first round.
• Participate in all counselling rounds: If Round 1 allots you a lower preference, do not withdraw — stay in the process for Round 2 and Round 3 where upward movement is possible as candidates vacate seats from higher-preference allotments.
• Use the official seat matrix: Before filling preferences, download the official seat matrix from the portal and identify colleges with more available seats in your preferred branch. A college with 30 LEEP seats in CSE is more accessible than one with only 5.

Rajasthan LEEP rewards candidates who are prepared before the portal opens — not those who scramble after. Because the window is so short, early preparation is the single biggest advantage you can give yourself.
