At AKTU, the year-back criteria are pretty simple. You are likely to get a year back in any of the following situations:
If in a single year, you have back 6 subjects
If you score below 30 in 6 subjects in a year
If you fail any practical exam
If you do not appear for a practical exam
If you are accused of UFM or unfair means like cheating to pass an exam
Any of the above situations will result in a year back. Try to avoid this as much as possible because it will become very hectic for you.
The internal back is a warning given by your teachers to score well in external exams. Otherwise, you might get a year back. This is actually for the students who have failed internal exams. They then focus more on their external exams to compensate for the low marks in internal exams. . Say you have got 20 marks in the Internal Exam, so you are 10 marks short of passing. By scoring at least 40 marks in External you can ensure that you pass the subject.
Some situations that result in the internal back are as follows:
Attendance below 60%
Marks of monthly tests below 30%
Lack of communication between you and the faculty.
Any of the above scenarios will give you internal back so try to avoid such situations.
UFM or Unfair Means is when you have tried to use unfair means such as chits, gadgets, or some other mode to score marks in a particular subject. Such a situation can result in many scenarios:
The result will be paused and postponed till the administration takes an action to solve the matter.
Contact your Institute Director. He will ask you to write a letter detailing your viewpoint regarding the offense that has been made against you.
You will write a letter to the Examination Controller of AKTU and tell him why you were caught using unfair means. Send the printout of your semester results along with this letter.
The entire situation will be closely investigated by the UFM committee of AKTU.
There will be two results to their verdict. Either you are guilty of UFM during exams or you are innocent and have been falsely accused through some conspiracy.
While you apply for this process there are some very important points you need to consider:
Apologize to the committee and say you won’t repeat the mistake. If you say you are innocent, you can get Carry Over(CP) in 4 subjects. This will impact your result very poorly.
Don't try to use any source of AKTU staff or any employee to recommend you for pardoning from the UFM case. This might in turn harm the entire situation. Handle the situation according to the process.
Here is a video comprising complete information about a UFM in AKTU
The entire process of resolution of UFM cases is tiring and lengthy and will wear you out in the end. Stay positive and strong throughout the process and wait for the results patiently.
The AKTU Grace marks procedure varies depending on the academic year and courses.
To get the grace marks, students need to have an SGPA greater than the minimum passing marks.
An increase in the marks while rechecking happens rarely. You get additional marks either if an answer has been left unchecked or if there is some calculation mistake in marks. Otherwise, you don't usually get an increase in marks after rechecking. While rechecking examiners don't usually see if you have rightly got 1 mark in a 5 marks question.
Another option to gain marks is to fill out the challenge form. But the challenge fees and rechecking fees are high (INR 7000 and INR 1000 respectively). You can also opt for carryover paper. For this, you will have to work hard.
AKTU follows an absolute grading system in which each semester result is converted into Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA). The Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA) is calculated each year. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated after the end semester of the program.
SGPA -
SGPA (Si) = (Ci * Gi)/Ci
It is the ratio of the product of the number of credits with the grade points scored by the students in all the courses taken by them and the sum of the courses undergone by them.
Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade points scored by the student.
YGPA -
Yearly grade point average is calculated at the end of each year.
YGPA =SGPA(odd)*Ci(odd)+SGPA(even)*Ci(even)/(Ci(odd)+Ci(even))
CGPA -
CGPA is calculated in the same way by taking into account all the courses taken by a student throughout the semesters of a particular program.
CGPA =(Ci*Si)/Ci
Here, Ci is the total number of credits in the ith semester and Si is the SGPA of the ith semester.
The AKTU grading system is further explained through the video below
One of my cousins is a student at AKTU (Abdul Kalam Technical University). She shared an incident with me which will give you an idea of this university.
During her semester exams at AKTU, she faced a challenging experience. Compiler Design is a subject in the 6th semester of B.Tech. Computer Science. On her compiler design exam day, the question papers were distributed 15 minutes late. It was a regular exam for the new semester. But what she saw shocked her. On the top, it was mentioned - Carry Over Theory Paper Examination. This was a back paper for students who are reappearing and not for regular students. Sometime later a teacher made them change the code of the paper and subjects. All the students were in a panic.
So if you are planning to pursue B.Tech. from AKTU, you should brace yourself for some major challenges.
The registration fee is returned usually after the 5th round. If you are facing some problems and still haven't received a refund, contact them via mail. Usually, two email ids are mentioned so it's recommended you contact both.
Write down the issue you are facing along with some of your basic details like Admission Number, Roll No., DOB, father's name, etc. After a wait of 2 to 3 days, your counseling fees will have been refunded successfully in the same account with which you paid the registration fees. You only need to remember to send the mail after the 5th round only.
Well AKTU has changed the passing rules for students. The students have to score at least 50% credit marks including theory and practical exam marks. Before this rule, students had to score 60% credit separately in Theory Exam and Practical Exams.
Now credit is something which you get after clearing the exams. Credits are given by combining the internal and external results. And passing the external exam is a must. If you have internal back but you score well in university exams and clear the subject then you will also earn credit.
AKTU Passing Rules:
First/ Second/ Third Year Back Rule are as follows.
Final Year Back Rules are as follows.
Now, these are a few year-back rules in AKTU which you should keep in mind.
AKTU passing criteria in a semester is
This is only for the external exams.
For internal exams, you need to score more than 30 out of 50. If you happen to have a back in any subject of 100 marks or 50 marks then you will get grace marks of 10 and 5 respectively. However, this accounts for the whole year and not just a single semester.
