GUJCET 2026 Cut Offs

GUJCET 2026 Cut Offs

GUJCET 2026 cutoffs indicate the minimum marks or ranks required for seat allotment in B.E./B.Tech and B.Pharm programs across Gujarat's government, aided, and private colleges, released by the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) after each counselling round. These thresholds, derived from 40% GUJCET score + 60% Class 12 marks composite merit, vary by institute, branch (CSE/IT highest at 110-125 marks for general), category, and round, influenced by 2 lakh+ applicants chasing 1.2 lakh seats. Expected 2026 general cutoffs hover at 100-120 marks for top LDCE/Nirma CSE, relaxing to 75-110 for reserved, mirroring 2025 trends amid steady competition.

Cutoff Release Schedule

  • ACPC publishes opening/closing ranks post-Round 1 (late June 2026), updating for Rounds 2-3 and institute-level fills by August on gujacpc.admissions.nic.in.
  • Provisional lists integrate JEE Main toppers (top 20,000 get 100% weightage), with finals reflecting vacancies.
  • Pharmacy cut-offs trend 10-15 marks lower than engineering.
  • Trends show Round 3 relaxes 10-20 marks; 2025 LDCE CSE closed at 115 (gen Round 1), 95 (Round 3).

Determining Factors

  • Applicant surge (5-10% yearly), exam difficulty (easier papers drop cutoffs 5-10 marks), seat matrix expansions, and reservations (52% merit, 27% SEBC, 15% ST, 7% SC, 10% EWS, 5% TFWS) shape outcomes.
  • High-demand urban branches like IT at DAIICT/Nirma command 20-30 marks above Civil/Mechanical; rural colleges ease by 15-25.
  • JEE integration tightens top ends; poor performance inflates reserved relaxations.

Expected Marks vs Rank Analysis

  • General: 110-125 marks (99-100 percentile, rank 1-500) secures LDCE CSE; 100-110 (90-95%, 500-2000) for Nirma/PDPU.
  • OBC/SEBC: 90-110; SC/ST: 70-95; EWS/PwD: 75-100.
  • Pharmacy: General 90-100.

  • Reserved: SC 60-100 CS, ST 50-85; PwD 40-80.
  • Predict 2026 +2-5 marks if applications rise; pharmacy stable at 75-100.

Using Cutoffs Strategically

  • Target 110+ for top 5% safety; choice filling prioritizes high-closing branches first.
  • Float early rounds for upgrades; sub-cutoff eyes TFWS/management (15-35% seats).
