The GFP Placement Test is the basic criteria for admitting applicants into the General Foundation Programme at GCET. Based on the results of Placement Test, the GFP applicant can take the related Modules. All the applicants should take the English Test first, and based on the results they will be placed in Level One or Two in GFP, or may be exempted from studying English Modules at GFP provided they get B2 or more. The GFP Placement Test is exempted if the GFP applicant meets the criteria mentioned in sections 7-1, 7-2 or 7-3 of GFP Academic Regulations document.<\/p>\n

However, if they score below 50%, they will not proceed with the second section and will be placed in Level One for Math. The test is based on problem-solution and objective type questions.
