Archita BakshiBA (Hons) International Relations & English Literature, School of Liberal Studies - PDPU (2017)

One of my friends studied at PDPU with Liberal Studies. His major was International Relations and Environmental Studies. So according to him, the School of Liberal Studies (SLS) is based on 3 pillars which are quintessential to any liberal arts school; Creativity, Critical Thinking and Articulation.

Over the course of the first 4 semesters, you have an opportunity to explore a wide range of 30 subjects spanning across the fields of Economics, International Relations, Psychology, Governance and Public Administration, Mathematics, Geography, English Literature, Food Geography, Environmental Law/Studies, Communication, Foreign Languages, Sciences, Theatre, Music, Art, Marketing and History. For the final two years, you have to pick a field to major in and a complementary minor.

He has been a recipient of 4 Research Travel Grants, his research include Agriculture, Food Politics, International Relations and Environmental Policy. 

The management has supported him in his endeavors and the professors were very cooperative. 

Therefore, the SLS provided him a stable platform with the right set of tools, Research Support, Experienced Faculties, Unique and Socratic Pedagogy, Adequate Infrastructure and perspective.

The School of Liberal Studies allows one to fully express themselves whether it is in academics, fine arts or sports.

How many marks are required in JEE or GUJCET to get admission to PDPU Gandhinagar?

Arunima Sethi
Harsh SinghB.Tech from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar (2019)

The cut-off rank (or score) required for PDPU in JEE or GUJCET changes every year. The corresponding score and rank dependency is also different every year.

The expected cut-off ranks for PDPU from JEE Main are listed below.

Department

JEE Main Cut-off(expected)

Petroleum Engineering

<56000

Computer Engineering

<40000

Information and Communication Technology

<52000

Chemical Engineering

<65000

Mechanical Engineering

<60000

Electrical Engineering

<150000

Civil Engineering

<150000

Key highlights:

  • The score required varies on the overall performance and difficulty level of the question paper. One of my friends got admission in the Chemical Engineering branch with a 120 cutoff in JEE Main back in 2016. Chemical is among the fastest filling departments along with Petroleum and Computer Science.
  • For GUJCET candidates, a score of around 95 should be sufficient for PDPU. For SC/ST candidates, even 85 would do the same.
  • For JEE Main candidates, 130-150 is considered as a sufficient score for general students for getting the top branches in PDPU.

The above ranks and cut-offs are assumptions and can be considered as tentative values.
