Placements

No NIRF or official placement data found for GEC Daman or the UT polytechnics.

Affiliated colleges place students on their own, so figures vary widely from college to college.

Industry & incubation

  • Not officially published: no incubator or MoU listed on the DHTE website
  • GEC Daman students can use GTU-wide schemes such as GTU Ventures and GISC as a GTU-affiliated college

Good to know

  • No university of its own: GEC Daman and the polytechnics follow GTU syllabus, exams and grading, so GTU's (CGPA - 0.5) x 10 percentage rule applies.
  • Three routes to B.Tech: UT counselling at GEC Daman (domicile priority), CSAB-NEUT central seats for UT students, and Gujarat ACPC's 5% JEE Main seats.
  • Because GTU sets the curriculum, NEP 2020 changes, credit rules and remedial (backlog) exams for UT students follow GTU regulations.
