GUJCET 2026 Syllabus

GUJCET 2026 Syllabus

GUJCET 2026 syllabus, prescribed by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB), encompasses topics from Class 11 and 12 NCERT textbooks for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (engineering stream) or Biology (pharmacy stream), forming the basis for 120 MCQs in the 3-hour exam. This curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding and application, with equal weightage (40 questions each) across subjects, aligning directly with board exams to reward consistent academic performers. Candidates access the detailed PDF on gseb.org or gujcet.gseb.org, prioritizing high-yield chapters like mechanics in Physics or organic chemistry for optimal preparation.

Physics Syllabus

  • Class 11 covers statics and dynamics (laws of motion, work-energy), gravitation, mechanics of solids/fluids, heat/thermodynamics, oscillations/waves.
  • Class 12 includes electrostatics, current electricity, magnetic effects, EMI/alternating currents, EM waves, optics, dual nature of matter, atoms/nuclei, semiconductors.
  • Numerical problems dominate (60%), testing formulas like F=kq1q2r2F=r2kq1q2 and ray optics laws.
  • Focus on derivations and graphs; diagrams like magnetic field lines recur frequently.

Chemistry Syllabus

  • Physical Chemistry (Class 11: atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, thermodynamics, equilibrium, redox; Class 12: solutions, electrochemistry, kinetics, surface chemistry).
  • Inorganic (periodic properties, p-block, d/f-block, coordination compounds).
  • Organic (Class 11: basics, hydrocarbons; Class 12: haloarenes, alcohols, aldehydes, amines, biomolecules, polymers).
  • Reactions and mechanisms carry 50% weight, with numericals on mole concepts and rates.
  • Name reactions (e.g., Cannizzaro) and IUPAC nomenclature prove essential.

Mathematics Syllabus (Engineering)

  • Class 11: sets/relations/functions, trigonometry, complex numbers, quadratic equations, permutations/combinations, binomial theorem, sequences/series, limits/derivatives, statistics.
  • Class 12: continuity/differentiability, applications of derivatives/integrals, definite integrals, differential equations, vectors/3D geometry, probability, matrices/determinants.
  • Calculus (30%) and algebra (25%) lead, with problems like ∫xsin?x dx∫xsinxdx common.
  • Graphs and loci emphasize visualization skills.

Biology Syllabus (Pharmacy)

  • Class 11: diversity in living world, structural organization (plants/animals), cell structure/function, plant physiology, human physiology.
  • Class 12: reproduction, genetics/molecular basis, biology/biotechnology principles, ecology/environment.
  • Human physiology (25%) and genetics (20%) dominate, with diagrams of nephron or DNA replication key.
  • Processes like photosynthesis pathways require step-wise recall.
