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.
