Good Score in Gujcet 2026
A score of 80 to 109 out of 120 is considered good for qualifying GUJCET 2026 and gives high chances for core branches in reputed government colleges such as BVM Engineering College and GEC Gandhinagar. Very good scores (110–120) open doors to top institutes like LD College of Engineering, Nirma University, and DA-IICT. Candidates with 60–79 marks still qualify but may get non-core branches or lower-tier colleges. The minimum required marks to qualify (participate in counseling) is 54 for general and 48 for reserved categories.
