The prospectus of the Goa Common Entrance Test (GCET) 2013 will be out for engineering and pharmacy aspirants in the first week of February month. This year, the prospectus will be different from last year because students seeking to join medicine and dentistry courses will not be taking the GCET but the national entrance and eligibility test (NEET).
DTE will also come out with the new guidelines for direct admissions to the second year engineering and pharmacy seats, which used to take place based on G2CET scores. The G2CET - which was held for diploma holders and science graduates for direct admissions to second year of engineering and pharmacy courses - is no more compulsory for states to hold as per directives of the all India council for technical education (AICTE).
The National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (NEET) for UG students will be conducted at a centre in Panaji on May 5.
Admissions to engineering and pharmacy bachelor's courses will take place based on the GCET conducted by the state directorate of technical education at 10 centres across the state. The GCET exam is set to be held after the NEET on May 8.
Direct admissions to second year engineering and pharmacy seats will now be decided on the basis of marks scored in the final year of the diploma or BSc course by the students.
However, the board of technical education has decided to consider giving a second opportunity to diploma course students who passed out in 2012 to re-answer the final year diploma exam to better their score.
