Colleges in Gujarat

Admission at Lukhdhirji Engineering College as of March 27, 2025, is probably closed for the entire academic year 2024-25 because generally, in Gujarat engineering admissions through GUJCET and ACPC counseling come to an end by August-September.

Thus, the 2025-26 admission will generally open in April-May, GUJCET registration will take place, and counseling will follow in June-July. Exact status will depend on the academic calendar, but mid-year inquiries show that the admission process has probably not started yet. It is advisable that candidates keep monitoring the ACPC website and notices from the college about the application date, document requirements, and schedule for seat allocation to help confirm whether openings are available for the next cycle. 

Fees approved for teaching courses at Lukhdhirji Engineering College, that is a government institution located in Morbi, Gujarat, vary from INR 1,500 to INR 2,500 per annum for the B.E. courses in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering.

Across four years, this amounts to about INR 6,000-10,000, excluding minor extra fees for exams and perhaps library fees (somewhere about INR 1,000-2,000-a-year). In such colleges, being funded by the state and affiliated with Gujarat Technological University, the fee structure is designed in a manner that makes it affordable.

Therefore, Diploma courses, if any, should also carry similar charges. The fee structure is, for sure, an evaluation of government assistance; thus, these are one of the most economical options in engineering. 

Gujarat Maritime University has hardly been a name in national management rankings such as NIRF because the area is narrower, knowing for itself doing courses in maritime law, logistics, and management rather than normal all-comprehensive MBA programs.

 In such a specialised institution context, it has a decent place in Gujarat and does so for its unique maritime management courses. Compared to the premier management schools such as IIMs or XLRI, the newness factor brings it down from the high rank, since it was established in 2017 and has limited scope. Within its niche, it has good value for industry relevance, but according to them, no specific management ranking places it among the elite broadly.

Gujarat Maritime University provides scholarships for undergraduate courses to help students financially. The Merit-Based Scholarship is given to the students who are having good scores at the 10+2 level, generally above 75%, and offers some partial fee waiver.

The Economically Weaker Section (EWS) Scholarship is awarded to those students having a family income below a threshold and will require an income certificate in order to avail of the scholarship, which could cover as much as 50% of their fee. Also, the SC/ST/OBC scholarships will be in line with the Government of the State scheme and will provide concession based on the criteria of the students.
