GUJCET 2026 registration — the gateway for admission into engineering and pharmacy courses in Gujarat — reaches a critical deadline today, January 16, 2026. Thousands of students who have been waiting for a final opportunity to apply must complete the online registration process by 11:59 PM tonight, as the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB) is set to close the portal for good today.
This year’s admission season has seen multiple extensions. The original deadline was December 30, 2025, later shifted to January 6, 2026, and now extended again to January 16 to give students more time to submit their forms. However, applicants submitting their forms during this final window must pay a late fee of ₹1,000 on top of the standard application fee of ₹350, bringing the total to ₹1,350.
Why GUJCET 2026 Registration Deadline Matters?
GUJCET (Gujarat Common Entrance Test) is a key state-level entrance exam used for admissions into undergraduate B.Tech/B.E. and B.Pharmacy programs across colleges in Gujarat. The exam is especially crucial for students from the Science stream (Group A/B/AB) of higher secondary education who wish to pursue professional technical careers.
With the exam date scheduled for March 29, 2026, missing today’s deadline could delay a student’s admission prospects until the next cycle, making timely registration imperative.

Students yet to apply should complete their application before the portal closes tonight.
This final extension has come amid growing concerns over technical issues and last-minute rushes, prompting the board to offer more time to ensure greater participation.
