Gangamai College of Engineering, Dhule

GCED is a reputed institute having undergraduate and postgraduate professional engineering programs. The college is approved by AICTE and having a centralized admission process based on entrance tests. GCED typically carries out an admission cycle that coincides with the academic year; this year usually begins from August-September. GCED accepts scores from two famous entrance tests known as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main) and the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT CET). JEE Main is usually held January and April and MHT CET conducted in April-May in first half of the year.

Undergraduate programs at GCED require students who complete at least their O-levels and complete the 10+2 or the equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths as compulsory subjects. The cutoff marks required for these programs vary from year to year according to the performance of candidates in entrance examinations and number of seats available for that year. Factors affecting the eligibility of students for admission in postgraduate courses, especially M.Tech courses, include entrance examination scores, which relate most closely to the relevant area of study, as well as academic records.

Degree Wise Admission Process

B.Tech: There are five B.Tech programs at GCED: Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. All five programs are of a duration of 4 years. The prime criterion for getting into these programs seems to be the marks achieved by the candidate, either in JEE Main or in the MHT-CET examination. Below are the total intake numbers for each B.Tech program:

1. Computer Engineering – 120
2. Civil Engineering – 30
3. Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering – 60
4. Mechanical Engineering – 60
5. Electrical Engineering – 60

Institute-level seats, which remained vacant during the DTE Common Admission Process (CAP) rounds, are now opened for applicants who did not appear for the MHT-CET or who had JEE scores that were invalid.

M.Tech: GCED only has one such specialized course, which is M. Tech in the area of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, with an intake of 18 students. The GATE score may be taken into account in the admission procedure of M. Tech, but it lacks much specificity.

MBA: There is also an MBA, which also has 60 seats in the college. Not much has been specified about the admissions procedure, but it seems to be following some management entrance exams.
