With the much-awaited GUJCET (Gujarat Common Entrance Test) to be conducted today, students here are quite anxious about it. While some have taken to coaching classes, others are going through their school textbooks for the admissions into Engineering, Medical and Pharmacy colleges in the State.

Rashmi Ramesh, a student of Asia English School, talks about her preparations, I am preparing for GUJCET by going through the formulae for Maths. For other subjects like Chemistry and Physics, I am referring my textbooks. I am not worried about the OMR system to be used in the exam as I have already appeared for Kerala Common Entrance Test (CET) and AIEEE in which OMR sheets are used

Sonia Sharma, a student of St Xaviers High School, Hansol however has another point of view. She says, One cannot prepare for GUJCET in a day or two since it is meant to evaluate what one has studied the entire year. Thats the reason why I am not worried about the exams. Sharma points out that although she is not attending coaching classes, she has been referring to her textbooks for the same.
