What is GUJCET 2027?
GUJCET stands for Gujarat Common Entrance Test. GSEB (Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board) conducts this exam every year for admission to engineering (B.E./B.Tech) and pharmacy (B.Pharm) programmes in government and private colleges across Gujarat. It is the main state-level entrance test for Science stream students in Gujarat who want to join professional degree courses after Class 12.
GUJCET 2027 will be held for students from Science stream Group A (Mathematics), Group B (Biology), and Group AB (Mathematics and Biology both). Engineering aspirants must belong to Group A or AB, while pharmacy aspirants need Group B or AB. The exam is conducted in offline (pen-and-paper, OMR-based) mode in both English and Gujarati, so students can answer in their preferred language.
After the GUJCET 2027 result, the admission process for engineering and pharmacy colleges is managed by ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses), which operates under the Gujarat government. ACPC prepares a combined merit list using 60% weightage for Class 12 board marks and 40% for GUJCET score. This means your board exam performance matters just as much as your GUJCET score for getting admission in top colleges.
You do not need to qualify JEE Main to get admission through GUJCET. GUJCET alone is sufficient for state-level seats in Gujarat engineering and pharmacy colleges. In 2026, more than 1.29 lakh candidates appeared for GUJCET, competing for 78,000+ seats in over 400 colleges affiliated with Gujarat Technological University (GTU) and other universities in the state.

How to Check GUJCET 2027 Result
- Visit gsebeservice.com or gseb.org after the result is declared
- Click on the GUJCET 2027 Result link
- Enter your 6-digit seat number and date of birth
- Your scorecard will appear on screen — check subject-wise marks and total score
- Download and print the scorecard — you will need it for ACPC counselling
GUJCET 2027 Scorecard Details
The GUJCET 2027 scorecard will include your subject-wise marks, total marks out of 120, percentile score, and qualifying status (Pass/Fail based on category-wise minimum qualifying marks). The scorecard is mandatory for ACPC counselling registration.
ACPC Merit List — How It Is Calculated
After the GUJCET 2027 result, ACPC prepares a combined merit list for admission. The merit rank is not based only on your GUJCET score — it uses the following formula:
- 60% weightage goes to your Class 12 board percentile in PCM (for engineering) or PCB (for pharmacy)
- 40% weightage goes to your GUJCET percentile
This means a student who scores well in board exams but average in GUJCET can still get a strong merit rank. Both board preparation and GUJCET preparation are equally important for a good ACPC rank. Separate merit lists are prepared for engineering (PCM group) and pharmacy (PCB group). ACPC releases the provisional merit list first — you can raise objections if any data is wrong before the final list is published.
GUJCET 2027 Marks vs Rank
The GUJCET marks vs rank analysis helps you understand what rank you can expect based on your GUJCET score alone. Keep in mind that your final ACPC merit rank also depends on Class 12 board marks (60% weightage). The table below is based on GUJCET 2026 trends with 1.29 lakh candidates and is for reference only.
Expected GUJCET 2027 Marks vs Rank (Based on 2026 Trends)
| GUJCET Marks (out of 120) | Expected Percentile | Expected Rank Range |
|---|---|---|
| 111 – 120 | 99+ | 1 – 500 |
| 101 – 110 | 95 – 99 | 500 – 3,000 |
| 91 – 100 | 88 – 95 | 3,000 – 10,000 |
| 81 – 90 | 78 – 88 | 10,000 – 25,000 |
| 71 – 80 | 65 – 78 | 25,000 – 50,000 |
| 61 – 70 | 50 – 65 | 50,000 – 75,000 |
| 51 – 60 | 35 – 50 | 75,000 – 1,00,000 |
These are estimates based on 2026 trends. The actual marks-to-rank relationship changes every year based on paper difficulty and the number of candidates. Your ACPC merit rank also incorporates Class 12 board marks (60% weightage), so high board scores can significantly improve your combined rank.
What is a Good Score in GUJCET 2027?
A score of 100 or above out of 120 (about 83%) is considered very good in GUJCET. With this score, you can expect a GUJCET rank in the top 3,000. Combined with strong Class 12 board marks (above 85%), this can put you in a competitive position for Computer Science or IT in good government engineering colleges. For top institutions like LDCE Ahmedabad, a combined ACPC merit rank under 1,500 is typically needed for Computer Engineering. For other branches and private colleges, ranks up to 30,000–50,000 can also secure quality admissions.
GUJCET 2027 Cutoff
The GUJCET 2027 cutoff is the closing rank for each college, branch, and category after every round of ACPC seat allotment. ACPC publishes the official opening and closing ranks on its portal after all counselling rounds finish — expected around July-August 2027. The data below uses 2025 ACPC reference trends to give you an indicative picture.
GUJCET 2027 Qualifying Cutoff (Minimum Marks for Counselling Eligibility)
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks (out of 120) | Percentage Required |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 54 | 45% |
| SC / ST / SEBC (OBC-NCL) | 48 | 40% |
GUJCET ACPC Closing Rank Reference for Top Colleges (Based on 2025 Trends)
The table below shows approximate ACPC closing ranks for Computer Science/Computer Engineering in top Gujarat colleges, based on 2025 round data. These are indicative only — actual 2027 cutoffs will differ based on seats, registrations, and exam difficulty that year.
| College Name | Branch | General Category Approx. Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|
| DAIICT, Gandhinagar | B.Tech ICT | ~350 |
| PDEU, Gandhinagar | Computer Science and Engineering | ~450 |
| Nirma University, Ahmedabad | Computer Science and Engineering | ~300–500 |

These are indicative figures based on 2025 ACPC round data. Official GUJCET 2027 cutoffs will be published by ACPC at acpc.gujarat.gov.in after all counselling rounds are complete in July-August 2027.
GUJCET 2027 Counselling Process (ACPC)
After the GUJCET 2027 result, admission to engineering and pharmacy colleges in Gujarat happens through ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses), an authority under the Gujarat government. ACPC runs a centralised online counselling process for government, grant-in-aid, and self-financed institutes in Gujarat. The GUJCET 2027 counselling is expected to start in May-June 2027.
ACPC Merit Calculation — Why Your Board Marks Matter
ACPC does not use your raw GUJCET score directly for ranking. It combines board and GUJCET performance in this way:
- 60% from your Class 12 board percentile in PCM (for engineering) or PCB (for pharmacy)
- 40% from your GUJCET percentile
This 60:40 weightage means students with strong board marks and even a moderate GUJCET score can compete well in ACPC counselling. For this reason, you should not ignore board exam preparation even if you are focusing heavily on GUJCET entrance test practice.
ACPC Counselling 2027 — Step-by-Step Process
- Step 1 – Register on ACPC Portal: Visit gujacpc.admissions.nic.in and register with your GUJCET 2027 scorecard details and Class 12 marks. This is a separate registration from GUJCET exam registration.
- Step 2 – Upload Documents: Upload all required documents including Class 12 marksheet, GUJCET scorecard, category certificate (if applicable), and domicile certificate.
- Step 3 – Mock Round (Optional): ACPC usually holds a mock round where you can practise filling college and branch preferences. No actual seat is allotted in this round — it is only for practice and to help you understand the interface.
- Step 4 – Choice Filling: Fill your preferences for college and branch in priority order. You can list as many choices as you want from all eligible institutions in Gujarat.
- Step 5 – Provisional Merit List: ACPC releases the provisional merit list. Check your combined rank and raise any objections about errors in data before the list is finalised.
- Step 6 – Round 1 Seat Allotment: ACPC releases Round 1 results based on your merit rank and preference order. If you are satisfied with the allotted seat, confirm and pay the admission fee within the given deadline.
- Step 7 – Round 2 Seat Allotment: Candidates who want a better seat or did not get one in Round 1 can participate in Round 2. You must re-fill or continue with existing preferences.
- Step 8 – Mop-up Round: This final round fills remaining vacant seats. Not all colleges and branches participate in the mop-up round, but it is a good option if you missed earlier rounds or want to change seats.
Types of Seats in ACPC Gujarat 2027
- Government Engineering Colleges (GECs): State quota seats with the lowest fees — Gujarat domicile typically required
- Grant-in-aid Private Institutes: Subsidised private colleges — moderate fees, domicile preferred for state quota
- Self-Financed Private Institutes: Open to all candidates including non-Gujarat domicile in many cases
- NRI Quota / Management Quota: Separate quota in select private institutes — not part of ACPC centralised counselling process
In 2026, ACPC managed over 78,000 engineering and pharmacy seats across 400+ institutes in Gujarat. A similar number of seats is expected for the 2027 cycle.

GUJCET 2027 Preparation Tips
GUJCET is entirely based on the GSEB Class 11 and 12 syllabus. This is a significant advantage — your board exam preparation directly helps for GUJCET too. The key difference is speed and accuracy: GUJCET requires you to solve 120 questions in about 3 hours, so strong basics and regular practice are essential.
Subject-wise Preparation Strategy for GUJCET 2027
- Mathematics (Group A — Engineering): Mathematics carries 40 marks and is the most scoring section for engineering students. Focus heavily on Calculus (Derivatives, Integrals), Vectors, Matrices and Determinants, and Probability. Practise at least 30–40 problems from each chapter to build speed and accuracy for the exam.
- Physics: Physics questions in GUJCET require concept clarity more than formula memorisation. Practise numericals from Optics, Electrostatics, Electromagnetic Induction, and Modern Physics regularly. NCERT-level conceptual understanding combined with GSEB textbooks is usually sufficient for most questions.
- Chemistry: Organic Chemistry has the most direct, formula-based questions in GUJCET. Memorise named reactions and basic mechanisms. For Physical Chemistry, practise numericals on Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, and Solutions. For Inorganic, revise GSEB Class 12 notes carefully — many questions come from p-block and d-block element properties.
- Biology (Group B — Pharmacy): Biology in GUJCET is mostly fact-based and direct. Focus on Human Physiology (Class 12), Reproduction, Genetics, and Biotechnology. Read GSEB textbooks carefully — most questions come directly from textbook lines and labelled diagrams.
General Tips for GUJCET 2027 Preparation
- Start preparation from Class 11 itself — do not push everything to the last few months of Class 12
- Solve GUJCET previous year question papers from the last 5 years — question patterns and high-weightage topics repeat frequently
- Take full-length mock tests under timed conditions to build speed and time management for the real exam
- GSEB textbooks (Class 11 and 12) are your primary resource — cover them fully before using any extra books
- Since there is no negative marking, attempt all 120 questions — never leave any blank
- Give equal importance to your board exams and GUJCET — Class 12 marks carry 60% weight in the ACPC merit rank that decides your college admission
- Identify your weak topics early and revise them regularly — do not only practise topics you already know well
- In the final month before the exam, shift to revision mode — solve 2–3 previous year papers each week and carefully review every mistake

Ans. GSEB has not released the official GUJCET 2027 exam date yet as of October 2026. Based on the 2026 cycle, GUJCET 2027 is expected in the last week of March 2027. GUJCET 2026 was held on March 29, 2026. The official schedule will be announced on gseb.org once the notification is released in November-December 2026.
Ques. Who conducts GUJCET 2027?
Ans. GUJCET is conducted by GSEB — the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board. GSEB manages the entire exam process including registration, admit card release, exam conduct, and result declaration. After the result, ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses), a Gujarat government authority, manages the counselling and seat allotment for engineering and pharmacy colleges in Gujarat.
Ques. Is there negative marking in GUJCET 2027?
Ans. No, there is no negative marking in GUJCET. Each correct answer gives +1 mark, and a wrong or unanswered question gives 0 marks. Since there is no penalty for wrong answers, you should attempt all 120 questions in the exam. Even a guessed answer has a 25% chance of being correct, so never leave any question blank.
Ques. What is the GUJCET 2027 eligibility criteria?
Ans. To be eligible for GUJCET 2027, you must have passed or be appearing in Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (for engineering/Group A) or Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (for pharmacy/Group B). There is no upper age limit. Gujarat domicile is required for state quota seats in government colleges. Candidates from other state boards can also apply but may fall in a different category for state quota.
Ques. How many questions are in GUJCET and what is the total marks?
Ans. GUJCET has 120 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in total — 40 questions each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (Group A) or Biology (Group B). The total marks are 120, with 1 mark for each correct answer. The exam is offline (OMR-based), conducted in two sessions (morning and afternoon) on the same day.
Ques. What is the GUJCET weightage formula in ACPC admission?
Ans. ACPC uses a 60:40 formula to prepare the merit list. Your Class 12 board marks percentile carries 60% weightage, and your GUJCET percentile carries 40% weightage. This combined merit rank determines your position in counselling. Students with 85%+ in board exams and even a moderate GUJCET score can still compete well for top colleges in Gujarat.
Ques. What is a good score in GUJCET 2027?
Ans. A score of 100 or above out of 120 (about 83%) is considered very good in GUJCET. Based on 2026 trends, scoring 100+ marks typically places you in the top 5,000 GUJCET ranks. For top government colleges like LDCE Ahmedabad (Computer Engineering), you need a combined ACPC merit rank under 1,500. For good private colleges, ranks up to 20,000–40,000 can also secure quality admissions depending on the branch.
Ques. Can I apply for GUJCET 2027 without appearing in JEE Main?
Ans. Yes, absolutely. GUJCET is a completely independent state-level exam conducted by GSEB. You do not need to appear in or qualify JEE Main to apply for GUJCET. JEE Main is required only for NITs, IITs, CFTIs, and other centrally funded institutes. For engineering and pharmacy seats in Gujarat state colleges through ACPC, GUJCET alone is sufficient.
Ques. What is the GUJCET syllabus 2027 based on?
Ans. The GUJCET 2027 syllabus is based entirely on the GSEB Class 11 and Class 12 curriculum. Physics and Chemistry are compulsory for all groups. Group A (engineering) also covers Mathematics, while Group B (pharmacy) covers Biology. No separate coaching books are needed — thorough preparation from GSEB textbooks is the primary requirement. GSEB releases the official subject-wise syllabus on gseb.org.
Ques. How many students appear for GUJCET every year?
Ans. More than 1.29 lakh candidates registered for GUJCET 2026. Participation has grown steadily over the years as more Gujarat students prefer state-level admission through ACPC. GUJCET 2027 is expected to see similar or slightly higher registration numbers. With 78,000+ seats across 400+ colleges, the competition is significant but manageable with focused preparation from Class 11 onwards.
Ques. When does ACPC counselling start after the GUJCET 2027 result?
Ans. ACPC counselling for GUJCET typically starts about 3–4 weeks after the result. In 2026, the result came on May 4 and ACPC counselling registration was open till May 31. Round 1 allotment was on June 25, Round 2 on July 15, and the mop-up round on July 25, 2026. For GUJCET 2027, counselling is expected to follow a similar timeline starting from May-June 2027.
