Until 2020, the merit list for admission was drawn with 60% weightage to class 12 marks and 40% weightage to GUJCET marks. Four members of the committee suggested to give 100% weightage to GUJCET marks but this recommendation was not considered a viable option as it would completely do-away with candidates performance in class 12, said Navin Seth, Vice Chancellor of Gujarat Technical University, who is also the chairman of the 11-member committee.
Also, as per the recommendation of the committee, students with Biology as a subject in class 12 will not be allowed to take admission in 15 engineering courses from the academic session 2022-23. However, all such students will be allowed admission to these courses for the current academic session 2021-22 with a bridge courses in Mathematics before taking admission in the courses.
