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.

Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information & Communication Technology: The institute was established in 2001 and is located in a 60 acres sprawling campus. This institute is run by the Dhirubhai Ambani Foundation.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Information and Communication Technology and Computer Science.

The department of Information and Communication Technology have an approved intake of 240 students per year.

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

Course                                                    Open     SC         ST        SEBC

B.Tech(ICT)                                              110       7615      42710      378

Information & Communication Tech      440     12475   60908     1485

* 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.
