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.
LDRP Institute of Technology & Research: The institute was established in 2005 and is located in Gandhinagar. The college is approved by AICTE and is affiliated to KSV University.
This college offers undergraduate programs in Automobile engineering, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering,Computer engineering, Civil engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication engineering.
The department of Computer engineering has an approved intake of 120 students while rest of the departments of engineering admit 60 students per year. Some of the departments of engineering have 2 separate 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
Mechanical engineering 4506 11077 60758 9333
Mechanical engineering- 2 7619 16532 —— 13795
Civil engineering 9159 22397 52957 23088
Computer engineering 9437 40496 62644 29250
Information Tech 12649 31556 56873 38408
Electrical engineering 12809 20332 61814 30701
Computer engineering -2 14163 49487 —— 42877
Electrical engineering-2 17801 34086 —— 47702
Automobile engineering 24620 35435 61803 42260
Electronics & Communication VAC —— —— ——
* VAC- Vacant
* 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.
