Candidates generally need a minimum cutoff score of 195 to secure admission for the CSE course, while transfer students require a minimum of 190, and lateral entry students need at least 96.5. There are no entrance exams for admission, and the process can be completed in a single day through the Anna University’s online application system.

A high percentile, typically above 90, is recommended due to the college’s reputation. The institution follows a strict merit-based admission policy, ensuring no illegal entries. GCT is known for its affordable fee structure among government engineering colleges in India. Special quota entries are available, although the process may be more complex compared to direct admissions. Students from diverse geographical backgrounds should note that campus life may vary, particularly for those unfamiliar with Tamil culture or language.

A detailed review on GCT Coimbatore - Most affordable college of Asia.

In the admission process i applied only for government colleges like anna university chennai, gct coimbatore, gce salem, thiagaraja college madurai like that. Because i cant afford private college, among these government colleges gct coimbatore remains my first choice and got the admission in there. The main reason of choosing this college is affordable fee structure and good placement statistics. The admission process for government colleges are purely through Counselling process, there is no management quota. Based on our 12 th mark, a cutoff for 200 marks will be calculated. In this 100 marks from maths and 50 from physics and 50 from chemistry will be accounted. Then a rank list will be released based on this cutoff mark incl all applicants, it is called general rank list. There will be other rank list like community rank list where the rank will be grouped by community such as BC, MBC, SC/ST. Every college will release a seat matrix based upon their vacancy. Student have to fill a choice list based on their interest. And based on the rank, the software will check the vacancy for seats in the choice order and finally college is alloted. There will be three rounds of admission, After every round they will release the vacant seat matrix. There will be a gap of 1 week between rounds.

Academic, campus life & beyond

Since I'm north indian i didn't know much about the college. Now while I'm studying in it. It's very boring for me because there is no campus life maybe there is for Tamil people or who knows Tamil language but for me it's very boring. The college i applied for are better than this in terms of infrastructure mess food & maybe in campus life. I came here through special quota so for me admission process was a little hectic but if you directly took admission that's is very simple process

My Pov of GCT

Only people with a high percentile (above 90) could get into this college as this college is one of the most reputed colleges in the whole of Tamilnadu. The admission process is simple and can be done in a single day. The frequency of exams is average and tolerable.

GCT review

For bachelor course you must have 12th pass and then you have to clear the state exam to get the admission. And reservation is also there for Backward class students and other caste. Regarding the difficulty of the exam it's some time difficult and some time moderate.
