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.

Government College of Engineering, Bhavnagar: The institute was established in 2004. The college is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to Gujarat Technological University.

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

The departments of Civil engineering, Information Technology and Computer engineering 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               5756      16238      48226       10580

Computer engineering                 9674      34921      55173        20566

Electronics & Communication     31319       50681     62693       43838

Information Tech                          14045      42718     61859        25267

Production engineering               20543     40674    62319        34585

Civil engineering                           8282      19496    32860         11001

*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.
