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, Valsad: The
institute was established in 2004.The institute is approved by AICTE and is
affiliated to Gujarat Technological University and Veer Narmad South
Gujarat University, Surat.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Civil engineering,
Chemical engineering, Electrical engineering, Environmental engineering and
Mechanical engineering.

While the Chemical engineering and Mechanical engineering
departments 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          SC             ST         SEBC

Mechanical engineering        10747       27429       34507     17301

Civil engineering                    11833        29184        29264    19346

Chemical engineering            12552      31921         44252    21524

Electrical engineering            15367       38530       25948    23301

Environment engineering      19608      50381        45016     32377

* 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.
