The Gujarat Common Admission Service (GCAS) has concluded two rounds of admissions for undergraduate degrees in government universities of the state. However more than half of UG seats are yet to be filled, particularly at Gujarat University (GU), which has more than 50,000 vacant seats.
91,000 Students Admitted Till Date, But Still Many Seats Available
According to GCAS figures, around 91,000 students have got seats in 15 government universities in Gujarat. Here's a brief overview:
Why Are So Many Seats Still Empty?
There are a number of reasons for many UG seats remaining vacant:
- No mock round was held, so students did not receive a clue on realistic college choices as per their merit.
- Most students have not yet settled on their current seats, with expectations of obtaining better colleges in future rounds.
- Seat re-switching and change of preferences is not yet possible, it can only happen after the third round.
What Are Students Hoping Next?
The students and parents are expecting that:
- The third and subsequent rounds will unlock better choices.
- A clearer seat matrix will be made available so that they can make a proper choice.
- They will be permitted to modify college preferences following Round 3.

Key Points for Students to Remember
Keep yourself informed on the GCAS official website.
- Don't miss deadlines for confirmation of seats in future rounds.
- You will get the chance to modify preferences in Round 3.
- There could be additional merit-based seats available later.
Final Thoughts
Though two rounds of GCAS UG admissions have been held, there are thousands of seats lying vacant, particularly at Gujarat University. Students have several opportunities still in front of them, and future admission rounds will hopefully provide clarity and improved choices. Remain alert and prepared to act decisively upon new data release.
