The process is run online by the admission authority appointed by the Government of Rajasthan under the state's engineering admission process, working with the state technical university and its affiliated colleges. Candidates register on the admission portal, pay the processing fee, enter their diploma or degree marks, upload documents for verification, and fill in preferences of college and branch. A merit list is drawn up, after which seats are allotted in successive rounds, with reporting, fee payment and internal sliding, and vacant seats are filled in later or mop up rounds. Seats are offered against the supernumerary lateral entry intake in each participating institute. Because this is a counselling process, the important dates to watch are registration, choice filling and reporting deadlines rather than a test date.

The route is meant for candidates who hold a three year diploma in engineering or technology in a relevant branch from a recognised state board of technical education, and in most years also for candidates with a bachelor of science degree, in which case they are usually expected to have studied mathematics at class 12 or degree level and may be required to take bridge subjects during the programme. Domicile, category and reservation rules apply because these are state seats. The minimum marks needed in the qualifying diploma or degree, category relaxations, branch mapping rules and any age condition are stated only in the official Rajasthan engineering admission notification for that year, which candidates should read before registering.
