The GUJCET marking scheme includes +1 marks for correct responses and -0.25 marks for incorrect responses. The formula mentioned below can be referred to by the candidates to calculate their expected scores.
Formula:
Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 1) – (Number of Incorrect Answers × 0.25)
For example, if a candidate attempts 100 questions, with 70 correct and 20 wrong:
Score = (70 × 1) – (20 × 0.25)
Score = 70 – 5
Score = 65 marks

Hello,
I understand your concern. But an incorrect inverted signature may lead to rejection of your application, verification process, admit card screening process, and admission.
GUJCET (https://gujcet.gseb.org/) has their correction facility till earlier in January 2026, after the first deadline, December 31, which allows the signature correction or fixing other issues.
So here's the remedial measure you can possibly do. Before the final submission closes, log in and re-upload the mistaken part with the correct signature.
Hope it helps with your query. Good luck.
Hello
If you are from the CBSE board, in the GUJCET form, you should select “CBSE / Other Board” instead of GSEB.
For the GR number, CBSE students usually do not have a GR number.
So you should enter “0” or “NA”, as mentioned in the form instructions.
Do not enter any random number, as it may cause issues later.
If the form does not accept blank entries, use 0 and proceed safely.
Hey! If you have lost your original GUJCET marksheet, you can get a duplicate from GSEB. First, file a police FIR about the lost marksheet. Then, prepare a notarized affidavit stating that the marksheet is lost. After that, apply for a duplicate either through your school or the GSEB student services portal, submitting the FIR copy, affidavit, ID proof, and required fee. The board will verify your documents and issue the duplicate marksheet.
Hello dear student,
98 marks in GUJCET is a very good marks, but 58% may reduce your overall merit rank as both class and GUJCET marks are considered.
