PS
Poonam Saha Posted On : January 19th, 2022
B.Tech Information and Communications Technology, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar (2020)

The fees that PDPU charges are not only for the education but the overall development of an individual. The campus, classrooms, ambience and its rich and vivid culture will definitely have a huge impact on the students. You will not get such all-round development in sports and other extra curriculars in any other college in Gujarat. 

When placements are considered it always stood out among others. The ICT and CS at PDPU was started keeping in mind the need of engineers that will rise for The Jio project of Mr. Mukesh Ambani who is the president of PDPU. So Jio will be hiring many students.

How many marks are required in JEE or GUJCET to get admission to PDPU Gandhinagar?

HS
Harsh Singh Posted On : January 14th, 2021
B.Tech from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar (2019)

The cut-off rank (or score) required for PDPU in JEE or GUJCET changes every year. The corresponding score and rank dependency is also different every year.

The expected cut-off ranks for PDPU from JEE Main are listed below.

Department

JEE Main Cut-off(expected)

Petroleum Engineering

<56000

Computer Engineering

<40000

Information and Communication Technology

<52000

Chemical Engineering

<65000

Mechanical Engineering

<60000

Electrical Engineering

<150000

Civil Engineering

<150000

Key highlights:

  • The score required varies on the overall performance and difficulty level of the question paper. One of my friends got admission in the Chemical Engineering branch with a 120 cutoff in JEE Main back in 2016. Chemical is among the fastest filling departments along with Petroleum and Computer Science.
  • For GUJCET candidates, a score of around 95 should be sufficient for PDPU. For SC/ST candidates, even 85 would do the same.
  • For JEE Main candidates, 130-150 is considered as a sufficient score for general students for getting the top branches in PDPU.

The above ranks and cut-offs are assumptions and can be considered as tentative values.
