Gujarat CET 2027 for Class 6 admission and the Gyansetu scholarship: form deadline extended to 27 November

The State Examination Board (SEB), Gujarat has extended the online application period for the Common Entrance Test (CET) 2027. The original notification of 29 October 2026 had set the window from 30 October to 5 November. The new window runs from 6 November to 27 November 2026. The circular, No. RaPaBo/CET/2026/10528-629, is signed by the Board's Secretary and dated 5 November 2026; the Board says the online process is still running.

Who this is for

The CET is for children now in Class 5. It decides Class 6 seats in the state's Gyanshakti Residential Schools, Gyanshakti Tribal Residential Schools and Rakshashakti Schools, and the Mukhyamantri Gyansetu Merit Scholarship, which is paid from Class 6 to Class 12. Forms are filled through the child's school, and the test is free.

What to do now

• If your child is in Class 5 and the form was not filled by 5 November, ask the class teacher or principal to fill it before 27 November.
• Check the spelling of the child's name and surname, the date of birth, the category and the mobile number on the form. The Board said in its notification that it will not correct these later.
• The rest of the notification, including the exam plan, is unchanged. Our first story on CET 2027-28 has the details.

Children in Class 8 can also look at the separate NMMS scholarship exam; see our NMMS guide.
