GUJCET 2026 Scorecard: Details Mentioned
The GUJCET 2026 scorecard is required at every stage of ACPC counselling. Download it, verify every detail, and keep multiple copies.
| Detail on Scorecard | Description |
|---|---|
| Candidate Name | As registered during GUJCET application |
| Seat Number | Your six-digit GUJCET exam ID |
| Subject-wise Marks | Marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology (50 marks each, 120 total) |
| Total Marks (out of 120) | Sum of all subject marks |
| Percentile Rank | Your performance relative to all students who appeared in GUJCET 2026 |
| Group | Group A (PCM — Engineering) or Group B (PCB — Pharmacy) |
If there is an error in your name or seat number on the scorecard, contact the GSEB helpdesk at gseb.org right away. Errors in marks can only be disputed during the official grievance window after the ACPC provisional merit list is out.
ACPC Merit List 2026: How It Is Calculated
Your GUJCET scorecard alone does not decide your admission rank. ACPC prepares a composite merit list using both your GUJCET performance and your Class 12 marks. Here is exactly how it works.
Merit Formula
ACPC Merit Score = 60% weightage to Class 12 PCM/PCB theory percentile + 40% weightage to GUJCET percentile
This means a student with 90 marks in GUJCET but a very strong Class 12 result can outscore someone with 105 GUJCET marks but weaker board marks. Strong Class 12 results are as important as a high GUJCET score for a good ACPC merit rank.
Types of ACPC Merit Lists
| List | Based On | Seats Covered |
|---|---|---|
| GUJCET Merit List (Home State) | GUJCET 60:40 composite (Class 12 + GUJCET) | 95% of Government/GIA seats; 50% of Unaided seats |
| JEE Main Merit List | JEE Main All India Rank | 5% of Government/GIA seats |
Key Dates for ACPC Merit List 2026
- Provisional Merit List: June 12, 2026 — based on board marks and GUJCET scores submitted during registration.
- Grievance Window: Candidates can raise objections to their provisional merit rank during the window announced along with the June 12 list.
- Final Merit List: June 17, 2026 — after resolving all grievances.
GUJCET 2026 Expected Cutoff
The ACPC cutoff for 2026 will be released as opening and closing ranks during each round of counselling. The table below shows expected closing ranks based on 2025 and 2024 trends, for General (Home State) category candidates in the most popular branches.
Expected GUJCET 2026 Cutoff — CSE Branch, General Category
GUJCET Score vs. ACPC College Cutoffs

| College | Type | Expected Opening Rank (CSE) | Expected Closing Rank (CSE) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DA-IICT Gandhinagar | Autonomous | 1 | 450 |
| Nirma University, Ahmedabad | Private | 200 | 650 |

What to Do After Gujarat ACPC Result 2026
The result is out — you have very limited time before the ACPC registration window closes on May 30. Here is exactly what to do.
- Download and verify your GUJCET 2026 scorecard. Visit gseb.org, enter your seat number, download the PDF, and check all details. Take at least two printouts. This scorecard is mandatory for ACPC registration.
- Register on the ACPC portal before May 30, 2026. Go to gujacpc.admissions.nic.in and complete fresh candidate registration. Enter your GUJCET application number, Class 12 details, and other academic information. Upload all required documents. Registration ends May 30 — do not miss this deadline.
- Cross-check your Class 12 marks entry. Your Class 12 theory marks in PCM (or PCB) affect your ACPC merit rank by 60%. Make sure you enter these correctly during ACPC registration. Any error here can hurt your rank.
- Wait for the provisional merit list on June 12. Once the list is out, verify your composite rank at gujacpc.admissions.nic.in. If your rank looks incorrect, use the grievance window to raise an objection before June 17.
- Fill choices during mock round (June 12–15). The mock round lets you see a provisional seat allotment based on your preferences — without any commitment. Use it to shortlist colleges and check realistic admission chances before the actual rounds.
- Participate in all three rounds. Round 1 is on June 25. If you are not satisfied with your Round 1 allotment, you can participate in Round 2 (July 15) or Round 3 (July 25) — but only if you have not frozen your Round 1 seat.
ACPC Counselling 2026 Process
ACPC counselling assigns your B.E/B.Tech or B.Pharm seat based on your composite merit rank and your preferences. All steps are online except for reporting to your allotted institute.
Counselling Steps

- Merit List Display: ACPC releases the provisional merit list on June 12. Verify your rank and raise any grievances by June 17 (final merit list date).
- Mock Round (June 12–15): Simulate your choice filling to see probable seat allotment. No commitment at this stage — use it for planning.
- Choice Filling (actual rounds): Fill and lock your preferred colleges and branches. You can use the "Unlock Choices" feature to revise before the deadline. Once locked, preferences cannot be changed for that round.
- Seat Allotment: ACPC allots seats based on merit rank and preferences. Check the result after each round — Round 1 (June 25), Round 2 (July 15), Round 3 (July 25).
- Accept and Pay Token Fee: If satisfied with your allotment, freeze the seat and pay the online token tuition fee (via net banking/credit/debit card). Download the bank challan and generate the admission letter.
