For students in Gujarat and beyond, Sigma University, Vadodara, has become a prominent name in higher education. As you plan your future, one of the most pressing questions is, "What are the cut-offs?" It's a question that brings both excitement and anxiety.
At Sigma University, the answer isn't a single, rigid number. The university embraces a blended admission philosophy. For its high-demand technical and management courses, it relies on state and national entrance exams. For many of its other programs, it follows a welcoming, merit-based approach where your academic record is what matters most. This guide will walk you through, program by program, to give you a clear and honest picture of what it takes to join the Sigma University family.
Admission to the B.Tech program is the most competitive at Sigma University. It is primarily handled through the ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses), which uses GUJCET and JEE Main ranks for seat allotment.
The "cut-off" here is the closing rank in the ACPC counseling. The following table shows the trends for popular branches.

The cut-offs for computer-related fields are highly competitive and have been rising. A rank below 30,000 in GUJCET has historically been a very safe bet for securing a seat in these top-tier branches.
For students applying from outside Gujarat or using their JEE Main scores, here are the approximate closing ranks from 2024:
Sigma University offers two routes for its MBA program, which is why "cut-off" can mean two different things.
Path 1: ACPC Counseling (CMAT-Based)
Most seats are filled through the ACPC, which generates a merit rank based on your CMAT score. The cut-off is this ACPC rank.
This shows a stable and accessible cut-off for students applying through the state counseling process.
Path 2: Direct University Admission (CMAT/MAT Percentile)
For direct management quota seats, Sigma University does not publish a specific percentile cut-off. Instead, they look for a "valid score" and a good academic profile. Based on trends at similar private universities in Gujarat, a CMAT/MAT score of 60-70 percentile or higher is often considered competitive for a direct call for a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).
Admissions to pharmacy programs are also managed by the ACPC, primarily using GUJCET ranks.
This is the most straightforward admission path. For a wide range of undergraduate courses, Sigma University, Vadodara, admits students directly based on their 10+2 scores.
The "Cut-Off": For these programs, the "cut-off" is simply the minimum eligibility criteria. As long as you meet this, you have a strong chance of admission, especially if you apply early.
