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
Engineering College, Rajkot: The
institute was established in 2004 and is the first ever Government engineering
college in Rajkot. The institute is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to Gujarat
Technological University.

This college offers undergraduate
programs in Automobile engineering, Civil engineering, Computer engineering,
Electronics & Communication engineering, Instrumentation & Control and
Mechanical engineering.

While the department of Computer engineering,
Electronics & Communication engineering and Instrumentation & Control
admit 120 students per year, rest of the departments of engineering have an
approved intake of 60 students every year.

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

Course                                                      Open Category    SC          ST           SEBC

Automobile Engineering                                11719            25951      55116        16764

Instrumentation & Control                             22719          53798     62569      37628

Electronics & Communication Engineering 27983          58036     62671        5542

* 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.
