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.
