About School of Technology and Engineering, ITM Baroda University
Will studying engineering at a university on the outskirts of Vadodara actually help you land a role in Gujarat's heavy industrial manufacturing hubs? Yes, because the curriculum aligns directly with the surrounding industrial ecosystem. Students here spend less time on abstract theorems and more time in hands-on setups like the Automobile Engineering workshop or the CNC machining unit, learning the exact parameters required by manufacturing units in GIDC Ranoli and Makarpura. Rather than treating local industries as occasional field trip destinations, the faculty uses case studies drawn straight from the chemical and engineering plants operating along the Vadodara-Halol highway.

Admissions Overview
Admission to the engineering programs relies primarily on the Gujarat ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses) counseling system, alongside raw GUJCET or JEE Main scores. The university publishes branch-wise cutoff ranks after each allotment round. Candidates must monitor these official state-level cutoffs closely, as high-demand streams like Computer Science fill up rapidly during the initial rounds.
Once a candidate is allotted a place through the ACPC portal or via the university's direct merit quota, the next step involves in-person verification. You must submit your original transcripts, school leaving certificates, and competitive exam scorecards at the Palaj campus. Securing your enrollment is finalized only upon paying the semester tuition fee before the date specified in the allotment letter.
