How is the ACPC GUJCET Merit List 2026 Prepared?
Merit Formula for Home State Seats
ACPC uses a composite weighted formula to prepare the home state merit list. Understanding this formula is critical because it determines how much your board marks and GUJCET score each contribute to your final rank.
Merit Marks = 60% weightage on Class 12 PCM Theory Percentile + 40% weightage on GUJCET 2026 Percentile
This means Class 12 board marks carry more weight than your GUJCET exam score. A student with strong board performance but an average GUJCET score can still secure a better rank than a student with a high GUJCET score but weaker board marks.
| Component | Weightage |
|---|---|
| Class 12 PCM/PCB Theory Percentile (Board Marks) | 60% |
| GUJCET 2026 Percentile | 40% |
Merit for All India Quota Seats
For candidates who applied with their JEE Main rank, a separate All India merit list is prepared. The 5% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government and grant-in-aid institutions are filled purely on the basis of JEE Main 2026 All India Rank (AIR).
Seat Distribution Based on Merit List
- Home State Merit Rank is used for 95% of sanctioned intake seats in government and grant-in-aid institutions, and for 50% of seats in unaided (self-financed) institutions.
- All India Rank is used for 5% of sanctioned intake seats in government and grant-in-aid institutions.
Provisional vs Final GUJCET Merit List 2026 - Key Difference
Many students are confused about the difference between the two lists. Here is a clear explanation:
Provisional Merit List (Released June 12, 2026):
The provisional merit list is the initial ranking published for candidate review. It is a review checkpoint only no seat is allocated at this stage. Candidates should log in and carefully verify their name, category, Class 12 marks, and GUJCET details. If any discrepancy is found (incorrect board marks, wrong category such as SC/ST/SEBC, or incorrect EWS status), candidates must raise a grievance within the announced window.
Final Merit List (Expected June 17, 2026):
After ACPC processes all grievances and corrections, the final merit list is published. Only students who appear in the final merit list can participate in counselling and actual seat allotment rounds. No corrections are accepted after the grievance window closes.

- Identify the discrepancy in your name, category, Class 12 marks, or GUJCET details.
- Submit a correction request through the online grievance portal.
