What Happens After the GUJCET Result?
After the GUJCET 2027 result, GSEB sends the data to ACPC. ACPC prepares the combined merit list using 60% weightage from Class 12 board marks and 40% weightage from GUJCET percentile. This ACPC merit rank determines your position in counselling and seat allotment rounds at engineering and pharmacy colleges in Gujarat. The ACPC merit list is separate from the GUJCET result and is released a few weeks later on the ACPC counselling portal at gujacpc.admissions.nic.in.
GUJCET Marks vs Percentile 2027
In GUJCET, your final ACPC merit rank depends on both your board marks and your GUJCET score. GUJCET alone gives you a percentile, but your actual college rank is decided after combining 60% Class 12 board marks with 40% GUJCET percentile. So a student who scores moderately in GUJCET but very well in boards can still secure a better rank than someone with high GUJCET marks but lower board scores.
ACPC Merit Rank Formula
- GSEB Class 12 Board Marks Weightage: 60%
- GUJCET Percentile Weightage: 40%
- ACPC ranks all eligible candidates using this combined score in descending order.
GUJCET Marks vs Percentile: Reference Data (Based on 2025–2026 Trends)
| GUJCET Marks (out of 120) | Approximate GUJCET Percentile | Indicative ACPC Rank Range* |
|---|---|---|
| 115–120 | 99.5–100 | Top 100 |
| 110–114 | 99.0–99.5 | 100–400 |
| 100–109 | 96–99 | 400–1,500 |
| 90–99 | 90–96 | 1,500–4,000 |
| 80–89 | 82–90 | 4,000–8,000 |
| 70–79 | 72–82 | 8,000–14,000 |
| 60–69 | 60–72 | 14,000–22,000 |
| 50–59 | 45–60 | 22,000–35,000 |
*The ACPC rank ranges above are indicative estimates based on 2025–2026 trends. Final ranks also depend on Class 12 board marks, total number of candidates, and paper difficulty. The official ACPC merit list is released by ACPC after the GUJCET result is declared.
GUJCET Registration: Year-wise Trend
| Year | Approximate Registered Candidates |
|---|---|
| 2024 | Around 1.5 lakh |
| 2025 | Around 1.5–1.6 lakh |
| 2026 | Around 1.5–1.6 lakh (reference) |
| 2027 | To be announced after registration opens |
GUJCET 2027 Cutoff
The GUJCET 2027 cutoff will be released by ACPC after all counselling rounds are complete — expected around July–August 2027. ACPC releases round-wise opening and closing ranks for each institute and branch, separately for each category. The 2027 cutoff data is not available yet. Below is reference data from GUJCET 2025 to help you gauge the competition level.
GUJCET 2025 Cutoff: Top Colleges — General Category (Approximate, Round 3 Closing Rank)

Factors That Affect GUJCET Cutoff Every Year
- Total seats available in a college and specific branch
- Number of applicants and their ACPC merit rank distribution
- Exam difficulty level — a tougher paper generally shifts cutoffs slightly lower
- Category-wise reservation — General, SEBC, SC, ST, and EWS have separate closing ranks
- New seats added or new colleges joining ACPC counselling
Category-wise Cutoff Pattern
ACPC releases separate cutoffs for each category. SC and ST candidates typically get admission at higher (relaxed) closing ranks compared to the General category. Even for SC/ST students, premium colleges like LDCE CSE and DA-IICT attract high competition, with closing ranks often staying below 5,000 from all categories combined.
GUJCET 2027 Counselling Process (ACPC)
ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses) conducts centralized counselling for all GUJCET-qualifying students. It is ACPC — not GSEB — that decides which college and branch you get, based on your ACPC merit rank and the choices you fill during counselling. GUJCET 2027 ACPC counselling is expected to start from June 2027.
ACPC Merit List: How Your Rank Is Decided
- 60% weightage from your Class 12 board exam marks (theory subjects in the PCM or PCB group)
- 40% weightage from your GUJCET percentile
- All eligible candidates are ranked in descending order of combined score. A student with rank 1 gets first priority in college and branch selection.
Step-by-Step GUJCET 2027 Counselling Process
- Step 1 – ACPC Registration: Register on the ACPC portal (gujacpc.admissions.nic.in) using your GUJCET seat number and Class 12 board details. Pay the ACPC registration fee.
- Step 2 – Document Verification: Upload all required documents — board mark sheet, category certificate, domicile certificate, and others. Verification may be done online or at designated help centres.
- Step 3 – Choice Filling: Log in to the ACPC portal and fill your preferred colleges and branches in order of priority. You can fill as many options as you want. Choices once locked may not be changed, so think carefully.
- Step 4 – Merit List and Seat Allotment: ACPC releases a provisional merit list. Seat allotment results are announced round-wise based on your merit rank and choices.
- Step 5 – Seat Acceptance and College Reporting: If allotted a seat, pay the seat acceptance fee online to secure it. Then report to the allotted college with original documents within the deadline given.
ACPC Counselling Rounds for GUJCET 2027
ACPC typically runs three main counselling rounds. After Round 1 allotment, students who are not happy with their assigned college can choose to upgrade in Round 2. Round 3 is the final round, and a Mop-Up round may be held to fill any remaining vacant seats.
- Round 1: Initial seat allotment based on ACPC merit rank and choices filled
- Round 2: Upgrade round — better seats open up as Round 1 students withdraw or move
- Round 3: Final allotment round
- Mop-Up Round: Filling leftover vacant seats across participating colleges (if applicable)
Courses Covered Under ACPC GUJCET Counselling
- B.E. / B.Tech — 4-year engineering degree
- B.Pharm — 4-year pharmacy degree
- Diploma Engineering — 3-year diploma pathway (for eligible groups)
GSEB releases the qualifying score and percentile through the GUJCET result. The actual admission cutoffs — opening and closing ranks per branch per college — are released separately by ACPC on its counselling portal, not by GSEB.

GUJCET 2027 Preparation Tips
GUJCET 2027 is expected in late March 2027, giving you around 5–6 months from October 2026 to prepare. The exam tests Class 11 and 12 GSEB/NCERT content in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology. Here are practical tips to score well and improve your ACPC rank.
1. Understand the Exam Pattern First
- GUJCET has 40 questions each from Physics, Chemistry, and Math/Biology — each worth 1 mark, with −0.25 for wrong answers.
- Do not randomly guess answers. If you are not confident about a question, leave it blank — you lose nothing for skipping.
- Class 12 topics generally carry more questions than Class 11. Give extra time to Class 12 chapters.
2. Board Marks Are as Important as GUJCET
- Your ACPC rank uses 60% weightage from board marks and only 40% from GUJCET percentile.
- Even if you score 110 out of 120 in GUJCET, poor board marks will hurt your final ACPC rank badly.
- For GSEB students, the board syllabus and GUJCET syllabus overlap significantly — board preparation directly helps GUJCET preparation too.
3. Best Books for GUJCET 2027 Preparation
| Subject | Recommended Books |
|---|---|
| Physics | GSEB Textbook (Class 11 and 12), HC Verma – Concepts of Physics, NCERT Physics |
| Chemistry | GSEB Textbook, OP Tandon (Organic Chemistry), NCERT Chemistry, RC Mukherjee (Physical Chemistry) |
| Mathematics | GSEB Textbook, RS Agarwal, Amit Rastogi – Handbook of Mathematics |
| Biology | GSEB Textbook (Class 11 and 12), NCERT Biology |
| Practice | GUJCET 15 Practice Sets, GUJCET Previous Year Papers by Umesh Gurjar, MTG GUJCET Explorer |
4. Solve at Least 5–7 Years of Previous Year Papers
- GUJCET questions are mostly direct and concept-based. Solving past papers helps you understand the question style and difficulty level.
- Unlike JEE Main, GUJCET does not focus heavily on tricky application-based problems. Most questions are straightforward if you know your concepts well.
- After each paper, note your weak topics and revise them before the next attempt.
5. Time Management During the Exam
- For Physics + Chemistry (120 minutes, 80 questions): aim to spend around 40–45 minutes on each subject. Use any leftover time to revisit skipped questions.
- For Mathematics (60 minutes, 40 questions): try to solve each question in about 1–1.5 minutes. Move on if a question is taking too long, and come back to it later.
- Mark your OMR sheet carefully. OMR errors cannot be corrected after the sheet is collected.
6. Take Regular Mock Tests from November 2026
- Start with one full-length mock test per week from November 2026. Increase to two per week by January–February 2027.
- Analyze your score after each test. Track which topics cause the most errors and work on fixing them before the next mock.
- Many coaching institutes offer GUJCET-specific test series in both English and Gujarati medium.
7. Make Formula Sheets and Revise Daily
- Write down all important formulas, chemical equations, and reactions in a separate notebook and revise it every day.
- For Chemistry in particular — organic reactions, periodic trends, and electrochemistry formulas need daily revision to stay fresh in memory.

Board marks matter a lot — even average GUJCET marks can lead to a good ACPC rank if your board percentage is high.
Ques. When does GUJCET 2027 registration start?
Ans. GUJCET 2027 registration is expected to start in December 2026 based on the previous cycle. In 2026, registration opened on December 16, 2025. The registration fee in 2026 was Rs 350 without late fee. Check gujcet.gseb.org from December 2026 for the official notification and registration link.
Ques. Is GUJCET available in Gujarati medium?
Ans. Yes. GUJCET is available in both English and Gujarati medium. You choose your preferred language while filling the application form. The question paper is provided in your chosen medium on exam day. Most GSEB students prefer Gujarati medium as the terminology matches their Class 11 and 12 textbooks.
Ques. What are the top colleges accepting GUJCET 2027 scores?
Ans. Some of the top colleges accepting GUJCET scores include DA-IICT Gandhinagar, L.D. College of Engineering (LDCE) Ahmedabad, Nirma University Ahmedabad, PDEU Gandhinagar, BVM Engineering College Anand, and Government Engineering Colleges across Gujarat. All admissions are through ACPC centralized counselling using your GUJCET percentile and Class 12 marks combined.
Ques. What is a good score in GUJCET for top colleges?
Ans. To target DA-IICT and LDCE Computer Science Engineering, you generally need 110+ out of 120 in GUJCET (about 99+ percentile) along with strong board marks. For other good colleges like BVM, GEC Rajkot, and Nirma, a score of 85–100 combined with good board marks can give you an ACPC rank in the 1,000–5,000 range. Remember, board marks carry 60% weightage in your final ACPC rank.
Ques. Can students from CBSE boards appear for GUJCET 2027?
Ans. Yes. Students from CBSE, CISCE, and other recognized state boards can apply for GUJCET 2027. You need Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology in Class 12 with the required minimum percentage. For ACPC counselling, your Class 12 marks are factored into the merit rank at 60% weightage — so CBSE students’ marks are accepted in this formula too.
Ques. What is the GUJCET 2027 application fee?
Ans. Based on the 2026 cycle, the expected GUJCET 2027 application fee is Rs 350 for regular registration. If you apply during the late fee window, the total becomes Rs 1,350 (Rs 350 base fee plus Rs 1,000 late fee). The exact fee for 2027 will be confirmed in the official GSEB notification. The fee is non-refundable once paid.
Ques. How many counselling rounds does ACPC conduct for GUJCET admissions?
Ans. ACPC typically conducts three main counselling rounds for GUJCET seat allotment, followed by a possible Mop-Up round to fill remaining seats. In each round, students can accept their allotted seat or choose to upgrade in the next round for a better option. Final seat acceptance requires paying the acceptance fee online and reporting to the allotted college with original documents within the given deadline.
