GUJCET 2025 - Gujarat Common Entrance Test
The Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET) is a state-level entrance examination conducted by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) for admission to undergraduate engineering, pharmacy, and other medical courses in colleges across Gujarat. The exam is primarily designed for students aspiring to pursue a career in engineering, medical, or pharmacy fields within the state.
GUJCET serves as a gateway to numerous government and private colleges offering courses in various disciplines, including B.Tech, B.E., B.Pharm, and Pharm.D. The test is conducted annually, typically in April, and provides a fair and transparent selection process for candidates based on their academic capabilities.
The exam consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (for engineering) or Biology (for medical and pharmacy courses). The examination duration is approximately three hours, and the questions are based on the Class 12 syllabus of the Gujarat Board.
GUJCET is essential for candidates seeking admission to institutes that accept the state-level entrance test scores, and it helps in streamlining the admission process by offering a uniform evaluation system. Students are selected based on their marks in GUJCET combined with their Class 12 scores.
