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, Gandhinagar: The institute was established in 2004 and is under the Commiserate of Technical Education, Gandhinagar. The college is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to Gujarat Technological University.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Bio Medical engineering, Computer engineering, Instrumentation & Control, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication engineering and Metallurgy engineering.

The departments of Information Technology and Metallurgy 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

Computer engineering                                     5293      20817     51949    12988

Information Technology                                   6578      20839     61680    13188

Instrumentation & Control                               13129      32567      61439   24450

Electronics & Communication engineering    17518      32963     60795   42867

Metallurgy engineering                                    20888     45238    62642   35873

Bio-Medical engineering                                  23166     36855     62011    40661

*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.
