Dear Readers,

This year, admissions to engineering courses in various universities of Gujarat would be done on the basis of candidates’ performance in the JEE Main 2015. Till last year, these admissions were done on the basis of performance in the GUJCET. In this series of article, we take a look at last years’ cutoffs (maximum ranks) for admissions to these courses. Do note that these cutoffs are on the basis of the GUJCET. These articles would give you a fair idea of the likely selection requirements for these courses this year.

Overview of the GUJCET:

The Gujarat Common Entrance Test, which is popularly known as GUJCET, was conducted for entry to various professional degree courses in the state of Gujarat. Several universities of Gujarat used to give admission to students in courses related to medicine, engineering, dentistry and pharmacy on the basis of their performance in this exam. The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, Gandhinagar conducted the GUJCET every year.

Engineering aspirants taking the GUJCET needed to answer a total of 120 questions on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The question paper was available in English, Hindi and Gujarati. The 180-minute examination consisted of multiple-choice questions only. Each correct answer was worth one mark and there was no negative marking.

Atmiya Institute Of Technology and Science: The institute was established in 2000 and is located in Rajkot. The college is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to Gujarat Technological University.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication engineering, Computer engineering, Instrumentation & Control and Electrical engineering. Some of the branches of engineering have separate shifts for students.

The departments of Information Technology and Instrumentation & Control admit 60 students per year while rest of the departments of engineering have an approved intake of 120 students every year.

Last year, the maximum ranks (closing ranks) for various courses at this college were as follows:

Course                                        Open            SC           ST         SEBC

Mechanical engineering           26789         44073       ——       53880

Mechanical engineering-2       51249          61729         ——      61905

Computer engineering              32631          59707       ——       57126

Civil engineering                       37920        58461       51593     60477

Civil engineering-2                   57032         62085         ——      60159

Information Technology           48930            ——         ——       62174

Electrical engineering               50526         62196      56055    62403

*SEBC – Socially and Educationally Backward Classes

This list of ranks is expected to be indicative of the likely cutoffs for admissions to the various courses at this college this year.
