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.

Sarvajanik College of Engineering & Technology: The institute was established in 1995 and is located in Surat. The college is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to Gujarat Technological University and Veer Narmad South Gujarat University.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Automobile engineering,Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, Chemical engineering,Computer engineering, Civil engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication engineering, Instrumentation & Control and Textile Technology.

While the department of Textile Technology admits 30 students per year, rest of the departments of engineering have an approved intake of 60 students every year.Some of the departments of engineering have 2 different shifts for the students.

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

Course                                                Open          SC         ST      SEBC

Computer engineering                      5139       33364     58418   12105

Electrical engineering -2                  15075      46560    60526  26596

Textile Technology                          24958        ——         ——    61264

Instrumentation & Control               25949      59719        ——   53854

Electronics & Communication        29976     53425      57926   59476

* 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.
