Admissions — what to expect

The exact sequence varies year-to-year, so always cross-check the dates on the college website and the affiliating university notice board. For engineering programs, admissions in Gujarat are typically routed through the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC), based on a combination of GUJCET / JEE Main scores and 12th board marks. Most undergraduate programs are merit-based, with seats allotted through the university's centralised counselling or the college's own admission process. Keep your 10th, 12th, ID proof, photographs and category certificate (if applicable) ready well before the deadline. Official note from the college: JEE Main based admission via JoSAA.

Tips before you apply

  • Check hostel availability and mess facilities early if you are coming from outside the city.
  • Keep digital and physical copies of every document — marksheets, leaving certificate, ID proof and category certificate if applicable.
  • Compare 3–5 similar colleges on parameters like fees, faculty, labs and placements before locking your decision.
