Gujarat Post Graduate Common Entrance Test

The paper is an objective test built around the core subjects of the candidate's qualifying degree, checking the fundamentals of the discipline rather than general aptitude alone. Candidates apply online, download an admit card, sit the test at a centre allotted to them, and then use the resulting merit position in the state's centralised counselling, where seats in government, grant-in-aid and self-financed postgraduate institutions across Gujarat are allotted by choice filling. Programmes covered typically include master's level engineering and technology courses at universities and affiliated colleges in the state.

In several cycles a valid national score in the relevant discipline is accepted alongside or ahead of the state test, and the reservation policy of the Gujarat government applies to seat allotment. The next cycle is indicated for May 2026, but the official notification governs the actual dates, subject-wise syllabus and the final list of participating institutions.
