GUJCET Exam Experience

The Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET) is an entrance exam for students seeking admission to engineering and pharmacy courses in various colleges across Gujarat. Here is a detailed overview of the GUJCET exam, including preparation strategies that I followed, the exam pattern, and key topics to focus on. I secured 108/120 marks and all over Gujarat got 99.09 percentile in this exam.

Mode: Pen-and-paper based test (PBT)

Subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology (depending on the course)

Duration: 3 hours (180 minutes)

Type of Questions: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

Total Marks: 120 (Each subject is 40 marks)

Marking Scheme:

• Each correct answer: +1 mark
• Incorrect answers: -0.25 marks (negative marking)

GUJCET exam level is easy to medium so if you prepared well then you can easily crack this exam.

• Syllabus:
  Thoroughly review the syllabus for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology as prescribed by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB) now GSEB follows the NCERT book. Identify important topics and do it before while other topics don’t skip but give more emphasis on important topics.
• Clear Concepts:
  Focus on understanding fundamental concepts. Use a Textbook and some reference books for preparation. Practice is crucial; by practising, you can increase your speed and accuracy.
• Practice:
  Solve previous years’ papers and sample papers, as many as possible it would increase your confidence on a particular topic and also increase speed.
• Time Management:
  In physics, and chemistry I didn’t face any issues but in mathematics papers, there were very long calculation-based papers so they tested our calculation power. so if you practice more questions you won’t face these types of difficulties.
• Revision:
  Regularly revise the NCERT textbook, in chemistry, they check our memory power so if you revise more frequently then you don’t need to memorize again it will automatically stored in your brain.

Subjects:

• Physics (40 questions, 40 marks)
• Chemistry (40 questions, 40 marks)
• Mathematics/Biology (40 questions, 40 marks)

Physics:

• Work, Energy, and Power
• Thermodynamics
• Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents
• Optics
• Modern Physics

Chemistry:

• Atomic Structure

Do’s:

• Stay positive and confident about your preparation.
• Always remember others can why I can’t. I can do it.

Don’ts:

• Don’t ignore the importance of revision.
• There are some difficult topics in physics like ray optics but don’t skip it and practice those questions.
