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.
