Rajasthan (DLN): Rajasthan Pre Engineering Test (RPET) 2011 results have been announced today on 16th June, 2011. Students are also see their results here. Candidates can check RPET 2011 results online here at Board of Technical Education Rajasthan (BTER) website.
Shefali Garg of Alwar topped the examination. Some 67,990 candidates had appeared in the exam to get admission in various government and private engineering institutes of Rajasthan.
While there are 47,847 seats on offer for engineering aspirants in 150-odd private and government colleges affiliated to the Rajasthan Technical University, a large chunk of seats – 3882 seats – are offered by just nine state-run colleges.
This year, too, the examination was conducted by Board of Technical Education for admission to engineering colleges affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University. However, the results were declared by department of technical education. Meanwhile, there are no cut-off marks announced by the department unlike other engineering competitive entrance tests.
"There is no provision for declaring cut-offs for the RPET candidates, but we come out with merit order. That will be followed by students' preference in option forms for counselling," said SK Singh, director, Board of Technical Education.
He says that the students will be allotted merit order that will be considered during their counselling. Similarly, the counselling will be processed after the counselling of AIEEE and IIT JEE is over so that students would have clear picture about their line of preference.
However, the colleges would be trying hard this year too to fill their seats to the maximum possible limit as more than 15,000 seats were left vacant last year. Similarly, the AICTE's provision that revised the eligibility criteria to 50 per cent marks in class 12 board exams may also be the deterrent to engineering colleges.
