How ACPC Calculates GUJCET Merit Ranks
Unlike admission systems that rely solely on entrance examination scores, ACPC prepares its merit list using a composite 60:40 weighted formula. Under this methodology, 60% weightage is assigned to a candidate's Class 12 theory percentile in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM), while the remaining 40% weightage is derived from the GUJCET 2026 percentile in the same subjects. This balanced approach ensures that both board examination performance and entrance test scores contribute significantly to a candidate's final rank.
