Who can apply for GUJCET 2027?
You can take GUJCET 2027 if you have passed Class 12 Science or are appearing for it in 2027, in Group A (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), Group B (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) or Group AB (all four). These are the 2026 booklet rules.
- GSEB HSC Science students, passed or appearing.
- CBSE or CISCE Class 12 Science students of recognised schools located in Gujarat, passed or appearing.
- Children of Gujarat-origin officers or employees of Central or State Government, the armed forces or government boards posted in other states, who study Class 12 Science in that state.
- Other candidates eligible under ACPC’s admission rules for these courses.
For an engineering seat, ACPC also requires at least 45% in the prescribed Class 12 subjects (40% for reserved categories), as per its 2026-27 admission notice. A GUJCET score counts only for the admission year of that exam, so you must take GUJCET again for a later year.
What is the GUJCET 2027 exam pattern?
GUJCET is an offline test of multiple choice questions with four options each. Physics and Chemistry come in one combined paper; Biology and Mathematics are separate papers with their own OMR sheets.
| Paper | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics and Chemistry (combined) | 40 + 40 = 80 | 80 | 120 minutes |
| Biology | 40 | 40 | 60 minutes |
| Mathematics | 40 | 40 | 60 minutes |
Group A writes Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics; Group B writes Physics, Chemistry and Biology; Group AB writes all three papers. Each correct answer gets 1 mark and each wrong answer loses 0.25 mark. Questions are in Gujarati, Hindi and English, and a simple calculator is allowed.
In 2026 the papers ran on one day: Physics and Chemistry from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon, Biology from 1:00 to 2:00 PM and Mathematics from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. Practise with the GUJCET previous year question papers.
How does GUJCET lead to admission?
GSEB only holds the test; admission is done by the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC), Gujarat, through online counselling on gujacpc.admissions.nic.in.
- ACPC merit for degree engineering (95% of Govt and grant-in-aid seats and 50% of unaided seats) uses 50% weightage of your Class 12 theory percentile in Physics, Chemistry and Maths (or Biology for eligible branches) and 50% of your GUJCET percentile in the same subjects.
- The other 5% of Govt and grant-in-aid engineering seats go by JEE Main All India Rank.
- Degree and diploma pharmacy seats are also filled through ACPC using GUJCET and Class 12 results.
These rules are from ACPC’s 2026-27 degree engineering admission notice; ACPC publishes the 2027-28 rules with its new registration.
