GUJCET 2026 Answer Key Challenge Window Closes Today; When is the Result Releasing?

The GUJCET 2026 answer key challenge window closes today at 6:00 PM, requiring a ₹500 fee per objection supported by documentary evidence. Final results and scorecards are expected to be released between May 5 and May 10, 2026, on the official GSEB website.

The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB) is set to close the GUJCET 2026 answer key challenge window today, April 8, marking the final opportunity for candidates to raise objections against the provisional answer key.

Released on April 4, the provisional key allowed students to evaluate their performance and estimate probable scores in the state-level entrance exam conducted on March 29. After reviewing all objections, the board will publish the final answer key, which will form the basis for result preparation.

While the exact result date has not been officially confirmed, reports suggest that the GUJCET 2026 results are likely to be declared in the first week of May.

Final Call: How to Submit Your Objections Today?

If you intend to challenge a response, you must follow the strict protocol outlined by the board. Objections submitted via social media or simple text emails without the required documents will not be processed.

Download the Form: Access the “Answer Key Objection Form” from the official board website.
Fee Payment: A processing fee of ₹500 per question must be paid via an e-challan.
Documentation: You must attach authentic textbooks or reference material as proof to justify why the provisional answer is wrong.
Submission: The form, along with the payment receipt and proof, must be emailed to the designated board email address.

Note on Refunds: If the subject experts agree with your challenge, the ₹500 fee for that specific question will be refunded to the bank account details you provide in the form.

GUJCET 2026 Result Date: When to Expect the Announcement

With the challenge window closing, the evaluation process enters its final stage. Based on the timeline followed by the board over the last few years, the GUJCET 2026 results are expected to be announced in the first week of May 2026.

Most experts point toward a release date between May 5 and May 10, 2026. The results are typically declared online in the morning hours. Candidates will need their six-digit seat number (found on the hall ticket) to access their scorecards.

GUJCET 2026 Marking Scheme and Negative Marking

The GUJCET paper is worth a total of 120 marks, consisting of 120 multiple-choice questions (MCQs). To accurately calculate your “probable score” using the answer key today, keep the following rules in mind:

Correct Answer: +1 Mark
Incorrect Answer: -0.25 Marks (Negative Marking)
Unattempted Question: 0 Marks

If a question is “dropped” by the board due to a technical error or a mistake in the question itself, all candidates generally receive 1 full mark for that question, regardless of whether they attempted it.

The 60:40 Merit Formula: How Admissions Work

Scoring well in GUJCET is only half the battle. For admissions to Degree Engineering and Pharmacy courses in Gujarat, the Admission Committee for Professional Courses uses a combined merit system:

Class 12 Board Marks (60% weightage): Your theory marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology from your respective board.
GUJCET Score (40% weightage): Your percentile rank in the entrance test.

This system ensures that a student’s year-long academic performance is given higher priority than a single-day entrance test performance.

What is a “Good Score” in GUJCET 2026?

While “good” is subjective, historical cutoff trends for top-tier colleges provide some benchmarks:

Engineering (Top Institutes): A score of 100+ out of 120 is usually required for high-demand branches like Computer Science or IT.
Pharmacy (Top Institutes): A score of 85+ is often sufficient for prestigious seats at leading pharmacy colleges.
Safe Zone: For a seat in a reputable government engineering college, a score between 75 and 90 is considered competitive.

What’s Next After the Result?

Once the results are out in May, the counseling process will begin. Students must register on the admission portal to participate in the choice-filling rounds. Ensure you have your Class 10 and 12 marksheets, GUJCET scorecard, and category certificates (if applicable) ready for the document verification stage.
