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.

Chandubhai S Patel Institute of Technology: The institute was established in 2009.The college is approved by AICTE and is under the Charotar University of Science and Technology ( CHARUSAT). The institute is located in 100 acres sprawling campus in Changa in the Anand district of Gujarat.

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

All 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                6319     23279     61713     13783

Computer engineering                  8846      41363     40418   25001

Civil engineering                           11306     38438     59861   34584

Information Technology               15222     59992      ——      41112

Electrical engineering                   16759    44469    59863   42026

*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.
