GUJCET 2026: Detailed Exam Schedule (March 29)
The examination will be conducted in a pen-and-paper (OMR) format across 34 district-level centers. The board has released a strict subject-wise timeline:
| Subject(s) | Entry Time | Exam Start | Exam End |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics & Chemistry (Combined) | 9:30 AM | 10:00 AM | 12:00 PM |
| Biology | 1:10 PM | 1:40 PM | 2:40 PM |
| Mathematics | 3:30 PM | 4:00 PM | 5:00 PM |
Mandatory Checklist for Exam Day
To avoid disqualification, aspirants must carry the following to the exam center:
- Printed Admit Card: Ensure all details (Name, Photo, Signature) are clearly visible.
- Valid Photo ID: Aadhaar Card, Driving License, or the Original Hall Ticket of the Class 12 Board Exam.
- Stationery: Blue/Black ballpoint pen for marking the OMR sheet.
Preparation Strategy for the Final Stretch
With only 12 days remaining, high school students should transition from learning new concepts to intense revision of the Class 12 NCERT syllabus. Since GUJCET includes negative marking (-0.25) for incorrect answers, accuracy is more critical than speed.
- Mock Tests: Practice at least 5-6 full-length OMR-based tests to get used to the two-hour stretch for Physics and Chemistry.
- Focus Areas: In Mathematics, focus on Calculus and Vectors. In Physics, prioritize Electrostatics and Optics, as these traditionally carry higher weightage.
- Time Management: Since you have 120 minutes for 80 questions in the morning session, aim for 1.5 minutes per question.
