Hello!
You cannot get direct admission in B.E./B.Tech courses of Bapu Gujarat Knowledge Village without JEE Main or GUJCET.
The admission procedure here is as follows:
Entrance is exam based — most of the seats are through GUJCET or JEE Main.
25% seats are filled through management quota but this also requires minimum 45% marks in 10+2 and GUJCET/JEE score.
Overall, it comes under the purview of the Admission Committee (ACPC)—admission is not automatic, with or without any direct exam.
