GUJCET Syllabus 2027: Chapter-wise Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology

The GUJCET syllabus is the Class 12 Science syllabus prescribed by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB), which follows NCERT textbooks for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. GUJCET is used by ACPC Gujarat for degree engineering, B.Pharm and D.Pharm admission, so the subjects you study depend on your group: Group A takes Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, Group B takes Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and Group AB takes all four.

This page lists the chapters to cover in each subject, flags chapters that older pages still show, and gives a study order and plan that also supports your board exam. The 2027 cycle has not been notified yet, so the guidance is based on the GUJCET 2026 notices.

GUJCET Syllabus at a Glance

Every subject carries the same 40 marks, so no subject can be treated as a side paper. For timing and marking details, see the GUJCET exam pattern.

What the Official Syllabus Says

GSEB's notices for GUJCET 2026 state that questions are set on the syllabus prescribed by the Board for Class 12 Science, which Gujarat has aligned with NCERT textbooks. The Board does not publish a separate topic-wise GUJCET syllabus. The chapter lists below are built from the current NCERT Class 12 textbooks that Gujarat board schools use. Treat them as a working checklist, and cross-check against the GSEB Class 12 syllabus for your academic year.

Two practical consequences follow from this:

• Class 12 only: GUJCET is set on the Class 12 syllabus. Class 11 basics such as units, vectors, mole concept and organic nomenclature are still needed to solve Class 12 questions, but whole Class 11 chapters are not listed separately.

• Board preparation counts twice: The same chapters decide your board theory percentile, which ACPC uses alongside your GUJCET percentile for merit.

Key Changes to Know

NCERT rationalised its Class 12 Science textbooks, and several chapters that appear on older GUJCET syllabus pages are no longer in the current books. Older pages may still show these chapters, so follow the textbooks prescribed for your year.

If your school or the Board notifies a different list for your year, the Board's list takes priority. Within the remaining chapters, some subtopics were also trimmed, so study from the current edition of the textbook rather than an old guide.

GUJCET Physics Syllabus

Physics is common to every group, and it shares a 120-minute paper with Chemistry. Expect a mix of direct formula questions and short conceptual ones.

Modern physics and semiconductors are short chapters that usually give quick, scoring questions. Electrostatics, current electricity and optics take longer but tend to be the backbone of the paper, so start them early.

Keep a one-page formula sheet for each unit, with units and sign conventions written beside every formula. Many wrong answers in Physics come from a missed sign in optics or a unit slip in electrostatics, not from a gap in the concept itself. Revising the sheet for ten minutes before each practice test fixes most of these errors.

GUJCET Chemistry Syllabus

Chemistry is also common to every group. Many questions test NCERT statements, reactions and exceptions directly, so close reading pays off.

Organic chemistry covers four of the ten chapters, so it deserves the largest block of practice time. Make a single sheet of named reactions and conversions and revise it every week. Physical chemistry questions are numerical but formula-based, and regular practice turns them into reliable marks.

GUJCET Mathematics Syllabus (Group A)

Mathematics is for Group A and Group AB candidates, which includes most engineering aspirants. The paper is 40 questions in 60 minutes, so speed in standard methods matters as much as understanding.

Calculus spans five chapters and should get the most time. Matrices, determinants, linear programming and probability are compact and often quick to score, which makes them good confidence builders early in the paper.

GUJCET Biology Syllabus (Group B)

Biology is the subject paper for Group B and Group AB candidates, and it is the paper most pharmacy aspirants take. In 2026, Group B had more registrations than Group A, so do not assume the Biology paper is less competitive.

Genetics and molecular biology carry the heaviest concepts, so give them your first and longest study block. Ecology and human welfare chapters are fact-heavy and suit short daily revision. NCERT diagrams, tables and examples are frequent sources of questions.

Why Biology matters for pharmacy admission

For pharmacy seats, ACPC uses the board theory percentile and the GUJCET percentile in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology. A Group B student's Biology score therefore feeds both halves of the merit. Strong Chemistry also helps, because B.Pharm itself is chemistry-heavy and the same concepts return in the first year.

Overlap Between Board Exam and GUJCET

GUJCET and the Class 12 board exam share the same chapters but test them differently. Plan once and prepare for both.

Common Mistakes While Covering the Syllabus

Most students lose GUJCET marks not because a chapter was missing from their plan, but because of how they studied it. Watch for these patterns:

• Studying from outdated lists: Spending weeks on Solid State or Polymers because an old guide lists them, while skipping newer subtopics in the current NCERT edition.

• Treating board answers as enough: Writing long answers well does not automatically build speed for 40 MCQs in an hour. Objective practice has to start early, not after the board exams.

• Ignoring the shared Physics-Chemistry clock: Students strong in one subject often overspend time there and rush the other. Practise both together in one 120-minute block.

• Skipping NCERT intext material: In Chemistry and Biology, intext questions, tables, diagrams and summary points are common sources of options. Read them, not only the main text.

• Leaving Biology or Maths for last: Your group subject is a full 40 marks on its own. Give it a fixed daily slot from the start of Class 12.

• Guessing in practice: If you guess freely in mock tests, your scores look higher than they will be under negative marking. Score your practice with the same deduction used in the real exam.

A simple fix for most of these is a weekly review: list the chapters you studied, the MCQ accuracy for each, and one action for the next week. Small, regular corrections keep the syllabus under control without last-minute panic.

How to Cover the GUJCET Syllabus

The plan below assumes you start in the first half of Class 12 and that GUJCET falls a few weeks after the board theory exams, as it did in 2026.

1. Months 1 to 4, concepts with the school timetable: Study each chapter from NCERT as your school covers it. Make short notes of formulae, reactions and diagrams. Solve 30 to 40 MCQs per chapter in the same week.

2. Months 3 to 6, topic tests: Take chapter-wise and unit-wise tests of 20 to 30 minutes. Track accuracy per chapter in a simple table, and revisit any chapter below 60% accuracy.

3. Months 6 to 8, mixed practice: Move to mixed sectional tests: Physics and Chemistry together in 120 minutes, and Mathematics or Biology in 60 minutes. Start an error log of every wrong or slow question.

4. Board exam window: Keep one short MCQ set a day so the objective habit does not fade while you write board papers.

5. Final weeks before GUJCET: Take full-length mocks in the real order of papers, analyse each one on the same day, and revise from your error log and notes rather than starting new material.

For timed practice in the current pattern, you can attempt GUJCET online tests on Testkart and use chapter-wise analysis to plan your revision. Pair them with previous year papers to understand the real difficulty level, and keep compact GUJCET study notes for last-week revision.
