Speaking to The Indian Express, B K Jain, in-charge of BSc admissions, said that if the choices filled up by the students were few, it will reduce their chances of getting admission. He said that if a student had given only five choices for colleges and if the seats in all those colleges were filled up by students having more marks, then such a student will not be allotted a seat in any other college where the seats might be vacant.

“It is in the interest of students to fill up at least 15 choices,” said Jain.

The final merit list for BSc admission would be out on June 20.

There are 24 science colleges, three of them government-run, six grant-in-aid and the rest self-financed, in and around Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. There are a total of 7,800 seats available in these colleges.
