Once the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) compiles the data from GATE scores and academic credentials, the M.Tech merit list is prepared. Here is how you can check your rank:
For M.Tech admissions under the Gujarat State Quota, ACPC calculates the "Merit Marks" using a comprehensive evaluation formula to ensure fair selection among all applicants.
Note: For candidates applying through the All India Quota (AIQ) or other special categories, merit lists are prepared following ACPC guidelines and may have different evaluation criteria.
ACPC typically releases the merit list in two stages. Understanding the difference is crucial to ensure your admission data is accurate.
The provisional merit list is published first. It is an initial draft of rankings based on the documents uploaded during registration, including GATE scores and academic credentials. It provides candidates a window to review their data. If your GATE score, category (SC/ST/SEBC), or any other status is wrongly recorded, you have a 3-4 day window to raise a query and upload corrected documents.
After resolving all candidates' grievances and document corrections, ACPC publishes the Final Merit List for M.Tech. Your rank on this final list is binding and will be used to determine all subsequent seat allotments in the mock round and actual counselling rounds for M.Tech programs.
Once the Final Merit List is declared, ACPC initiates the Choice Filling process for M.Tech admissions. First, a Mock Round (trial round) is conducted so students can understand the software and gauge their probability of securing admission in specific M.Tech specializations and colleges based on their final state merit rank.
You can reference the previous years' ACPC Cutoffs using your final rank to strategically arrange your college and specialization preferences in decreasing order of priority.
If you find your name missing from the Provisional M.Tech Merit List or notice incorrect GATE score/category/marks details, immediately log in to the admission portal and navigate to the 'Raise Query' or 'Grievance' tab. State your issue clearly and attach the relevant authentic documents and your GATE score card as proof.
Grievances are only entertained between the release of the provisional list and the final list for M.Tech admissions. Once the final merit list is published, ACPC will not entertain any requests to alter GATE scores, percentiles, or category statuses.
You can check your M.Tech merit rank by logging into the official ACPC admission portal (gujacpc.admissions.nic.in) using your User ID and password. Navigate to the M.Tech section, go to 'Rank Card' or 'Candidate Profile' to download your rank card with GATE percentile.
If you find any discrepancies in your M.Tech provisional merit list (e.g., incorrect GATE score or category), you must raise a query/grievance through the online portal with supporting documents and your official GATE scorecard before the specified deadline.
To be eligible for ACPC M.Tech admissions, you must have a valid GATE score in the relevant subject. Candidates with a bachelor's degree in engineering/technology or related fields are eligible. Specific branch eligibility is determined by ACPC guidelines.
Once the final M.Tech merit list is published, the mock round of choice filling officially begins. Candidates can start selecting their preferred colleges and M.Tech specializations based on their final state rank and branch availability.
