Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has decided to conduct the Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GCET) for MBA and MCA aspirants in February 2011.
The decision is aimed at helping MBA and MCA colleges finish their admission process earlier. The move to advance GCET will further cut the waiting period for students, said GTU sources.
They said they wanted to hasten the process further in 2011. “We will ask the student to fill the enrollment forms in December 2010 for GCET-2011 exams. However, the exam will be conducted online in the last week of February, 2011,” said a source.
The admission process of GCET-2010 went on smoothly as compared to last year when applicants had to face technical glitches such as server breakdowns while taking the two-hour online test.
However, considering that the final year marksheets of BA, BCom and other faculties’ marksheets will not be out until May, GTU is in talks with the universities to announce the results by early May so that by June, the classes can begin.
The admission process will be based on the GCET merit list of the students, said officials. “Student appearing for GCET are generally hardworking. Therefore there is very little possibility of them clearing GCET and failing in the TY exam. I don’t see any problem in conducting GCET a little early. It will infact benefit everyone,” said a source.
Students who clear the GCET but either fail in their graduation exams or are not able to submit their marksheets to GTU on time, their MBA and MCA admissions will automatically be cancelled. The two-hour test will be held a little early because the varsity wants to reduce the time students have to wait to decide whether they want to get admitted to an MBA or MCA college in Gujarat or pursue a course in some other state.
If GCET is conducted in February, colleges can start their admission process by June. Every year the classes begin in September.
