The disparity between the state merit list and GUJCET merit list cannot be missed. The irony is that both HSC science exams and GUJCET exams are conducted by the state board. The inconsistency in results, however, put a question mark on the quality of science education in the state.
There are 32 students cluttering the state’s top 10 list that takes into account not only the scores in science subjects but in other papers as well. And there are 58 lined up in the top 10 positions in the GUJCET list that test a student’s aptitude in science subjects. Still, only eight from the state list figure in the GUJCET list.
Worse, only 16 of the 32 in the state merit list for overall performance figure in the state merit list for science subjects. Deval Ashokbhai Shah, for example, the Vadodara girl who is the board topper this year, is ranked ninth in the science subjects’ merit list. She is on the fourth position in the GUJCET merit list.
There are 50 students in the GUJCET merit list who do not figure in the state merit list; and there are 24 students in the overall state merit list who are not in the GUJCET top 10 list.
Arpit Patel, who tops the state merit list for science subjects, is nowhere in the overall merit list. He does not even figure in GUJCET Top 10 list. Similarly Javia Vikas who is the third top scorer in science subjects with 296 marks out of 300 is ranked ninth in the state list. Both the third and fourth rank holders in the state list — Hardik Baldaniya and Priya Patel — are missing from GUJCET top 10.
As per norm, 40 per cent weightage is given to GUJCET results and 60 per cent to the marks scored in the science subjects in HSC exams, for admission to medical, engineering and pharmacy courses.
NO ONE SCORES 100%
None of the 90,833 students who appeared for GUJCET managed to score a 100 per cent. And here’s another interesting data: As many as 1,120 students scored a zero.
