Gujarat Technological University (GTU) was established under the Gujarat Technological University Act, 2007 (Gujarat Act No. 20 of 2007), functioning from 16 May 2007. It is structurally an affiliating and examining university: its administrative campus at Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, runs a handful of small in-house constituent schools, while the great majority of its roughly 4 lakh students study at its affiliated engineering, pharmacy, and management colleges across Gujarat rather than on the GTU campus itself.
The university holds NAAC A+ accreditation, confirmed consistently across its own subdomains, though an exact CGPA, assessment cycle, and validity window could not be confirmed from an official source. It ranked 58th in NIRF 2025 Pharmacy category (score 49.72), confirmed directly against nirfindia.org; it does not appear in the Engineering top-100 list for that year.
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Established | 2007 (Gujarat Technological University Act, 2007) |
| Type | State affiliating and examining technological university, Gujarat |
| NAAC | A+ (CGPA, cycle, and validity dates not officially confirmed) |
| NIRF 2025 Pharmacy | Rank 58 (score 49.72) |
| Administrative campus | Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, roughly 23 acres |
| In-house constituent schools | School of Engineering & Technology, School of Management Studies, School of Applied Sciences & Technology |
| Affiliated colleges | Several hundred, spanning engineering, pharmacy, and management, across multiple zonal offices statewide |
| B.E., B.Tech admission | ACPC, Gujarat state admission body, not GTU itself |
GTU's own in-house constituent schools, School of Engineering & Technology (GTU-SET), School of Management Studies (GSMS), and School of Applied Sciences & Technology (SAST), run a modest number of programmes directly at its Chandkheda campus. The much larger share of GTU's academic footprint runs through its affiliated colleges, which teach engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and management programmes under GTU's examining and degree-awarding authority.
Admission to B.E./B.Tech seats at GTU-affiliated colleges is administered by ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses), a separate Gujarat state body, not by GTU itself. Merit is based on a 50:50 weighting between Class 12 PCM percentile and GUJCET percentile. GTU's own role begins only after ACPC places a student: affiliating the college, conducting examinations, and awarding the degree.
| Route | Programmes |
|---|---|
| ACPC, 50:50 Class-12 PCM and GUJCET percentile | B.E., B.Tech at affiliated colleges |
| GTU's own in-house schools (GTU-SET, GSMS, SAST) | A smaller set of directly-run programmes at the Chandkheda campus |
For the 2026-27 cycle, ACPC's B.E./B.Tech Rounds 1 through 3 closed by 28 July 2026, with the Round 1 choice-filling deadline extended to 23 July 2026 and Round 3 reporting completed by 28 July 2026. As of this writing, a Vacant Seat Round 2 advertisement, released 5 August 2026, covers non-reporting seats at Government, Grant-in-Aid, IITRAM, and MSU(SFI) institutes; self-financed institutes run a separate vacant-seat process. This page does not state an exact closing date for that round, since it could not be confirmed on the live ACPC portal.
Gujarat Technological University ranked 58th in NIRF 2025 Pharmacy category (score 49.72), confirmed directly against nirfindia.org; it does not appear in the Engineering top-100 list for that year. It holds NAAC A+ accreditation, though an exact CGPA, assessment cycle, and validity window could not be confirmed from an official source.
Gujarat Technological University's administrative and examination campus is at Chandkheda, near Visat Three Roads, Ahmedabad, reported at roughly 23 acres, a size consistent with its role as an affiliating and examining authority rather than a large teaching university. Its in-house constituent schools, GTU-SET, GSMS, and SAST, operate from this campus with modest enrolment relative to its much larger affiliated-college network spread across Gujarat.
