Dear Readers,

We continue to bring you articles on reputed engineering colleges in the state of Gujarat. All your queries regarding various colleges, the different branches of engineering that they offer and the closing ranks for the branches of your choice, etc. will be answered in this series.

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.

A.D. Patel Institute Of Technology: The institute was established in 2000 and is located in  Anand.The college is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to Gujarat Technological University.The institute is spread across 40 acres sprawling campus.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Food Processing Technology, Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, Electronics & Communication engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology,  Automobile engineering and Electrical engineering.

While the department of Mechanical engineering has an approved intake of 120 students every year, rest of the departments of engineering have an approved intake of 60 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                9904      33301      62423    20647

Computer engineering                  12823     61797      60438    31009

Civil engineering                            16417     46476      61996    30800

Electrical engineering                    16885     41810      59262    32745
