We were hearing a lot of issues from students that today is the bank holiday and also most of the colleges had the week off. Due to that many students couldn’t apply for the revaluation and VTU had previously issued a circular quoting that from Monday students have to pay fine of 500 rupees for the delay.

After hearing the pleas from students, VTU finally postponed the last date to pay the revaluation fees and issued  circular as follows. You can check VTU revaluation results updates from our site.

Official circular can be seen below.

UPDATED ON 14/06/2019 11:39 PM

Here are the updated rules regarding the year back scheme of 2015, 2016, 2017 schemes.

1) The Students of 2015 and 2017 Schemes and those who have switched to these schemes / switching to these schemes should not have more than 4 Fail Grades (F Grades pertaining to theory as well as practical courses) at any point of time for admission to any higher odd semester. (Critical subject won’t be considered).
2) For admission to 7th Semester B.E./B.Tech the students should have completed all the courses of first year. (2nd year subjects are of no trouble, again which means no critical subject is considered or GATE).
3) For admission to 9th Semester B.Arch. the students should have completed all the courses of first year and second year.
4) In case, CGPA is less than 5.00 at the end of the B.E./B.Tech. program, students are permitted to appear again for SEE in full or part of the corresponding previous semester theory course/s by rejecting the performance of them (other than internship, technical seminar, project and laboratories) for any number of times subject to the provision of maximum duration of the program, to make up the CGPA greater than or equal to 5.00 for the award of degree.

OUTDATED UPDATES FROM 2017. (DO NOT REFER)

As AIDSO could gather from the Respected registrar of VTU, Mr. Jagannath Reddy, the non–CBCS students have been awarded the cancellation of the year back and a critical year back with some conditions.

Check below to know how to register for VTU EXIT scheme.

Around 19,500 students are expected to benefit from this decision.
While breaking this happy news we also are unhappy to say that CBCS students are given no relief! Meaning they are not spared from the cruel year back and critical year system.
We would like to congratulate the students on this historic victory and thank the vice-chancellor, registrar and executive council for this pro students decision. Even while thanking the Vtu authority, AIDSO earnestly appeals to vice chancellor to reconsider the decision about cbcs students and provide at least temporary succor to them.

Some conditions are applied and all conditions are given in below link.

Check all conditions here:

Update: Today ie., on 4th September 2017 students have met the board of studies members in Bangalore and explained their problems and demands.
Everyone of them understood the problem and responded very well as per the students. They assured that they will stand by students and outcome will be in students favor. Most of them appreciated our student movement and definitely, they will speak for the welfare of students.
And one important thing is, the board of studies meeting is postponed from September 5th to September 8th, as many of the members asked to postpone the meeting due to their busy schedule.
Students have met those who are in Bangalore, and other members will be covered by volunteers in next few days.

Protests are conducted in 28 districts of Karnataka and more than 170 colleges had shut down completely today participating in the bundh volunteering.

Some 20 and 30 colleges are partially supported.
As per the latest reports attendance is reduced to 80% today overall.

What is the outcome of VTU protests?
As we all know there was a principal meeting in Belgaum due to our protests from past one and half month. The outcome was in pending phase as there are several protocols to follow before issuing circular.
The outcome was POSITIVE and we wanted to push the movement to further for the fulfillment of every demand.
While doing the protest itself, we got the call from VTU authorities and they asked 8 days of time.
I know, you guys might suspect that they are simply buying time to suppress the movement.
But no, they can’t do it.
Trust me, the outcome was POSITIVE and we took the extreme step of bundh of all colleges to put pressure again.
And now there is a lot of pressure on VTU.
Calls are made from the higher education department, DCP, ACP, and education minister to sort out the issue ASAP.
So as per their request and as we already got the positive outcome, let us allow 8 days of time for them.

Are students going to stop all protests?
Nope, students will mobilize each and every other student from every engineering college in this time. They will do campaigning.
Students are sure that the outcome will be positive for sure after 8 days.
If not, students will proceed and do Jail burrow and the extreme step of movement will happen.
All engineering students who supposed to go to classes may have to go to jail and this isn’t good for our university’s reputation.

The issue has been telecasted from each and every news channel from morning to evening and even at 10:00 PM all news channels telecasted.
Thank you Public tv, tv9, suddi tv, Praja tv, Digvijaya tv, Samaya and other channels.

Don’t be shy and please stay out of procrastination for just one day!
Let your voice be heard!

2 batches of students went for the press release regarding the recent issues in VTU on 2nd August 2017 and have contacted each and every media in the city and everyone responded positively.

Media’s covered from both batches:
*Kasturi news 24*7
*Raj news (Couldn’t contact the chief editor today)
*Samaya news.
*Tv9.
*News9.
*Praja Vani.
*Deccan Herald.
*Indian express.
*Samyukta Karnataka.
*Public TV.
*Suvarna news.
*Btv etc,.

Both AIDSO volunteers and struggle committee members are doing everything they can and most of the media channels took a byte video of struggle committee students explaining the issue along with AIDSO volunteers.
Each and every media channels promised that issue will be addressed as they have come to the conclusion that the issue is serious and thousands of students are affected by this chaos.

On 26th VTU students’ meeting was held in Bangalore. AIDSO volunteers and hundreds of VTU students attended the meeting. Following decisions were taken in the meeting-

1. Bangalore district VTU students’ rally and protest demonstration on August 18th.
2. Remove YB and critical YB for Non-CBCS students(2010 scheme).
3. Give supplementary exams for CBCS students.
4. After the formulation of demands by students, “VTU Students’ struggle committee” has been formed consisting of around 40 colleges’ representatives.

Memorandum will be submitted shortly by student organizations and students are expected to stay calm during the process as it takes a lot of time as exams are still going on, once exams are finished the issue will be looked by VTU.

A lot of students are having doubts regarding VTU’s year back system as well as VTU crash course which was introduced last year. Many people are approaching us to do something regarding this and most common queries are,

• Is year back system going to get cancelled this time?
• Is VTU going to continue crash course this year also?
• Is VTU ready to give the crash course for students?

Well as of now, nope. It’s not cancelled yet and we are trying hard to do what we can in order to remove the year back system. Following is the petition which we have created in order to explain the issues to VTU, and we have not received any kind of updates from VTU yet regarding this yet. AIDSO is planning to organize the meet soon and students are expected to call the mentioned number and explain the issues.

Sign the petition from here.

The petition has gained more than 15,000 signatures and also several printing media’s came forward to give more exposure to this sensitive issue.

You can check following links for more info which was published by:

PETITION CONTENT:

Cancel year back system for all scheme and all batch of students for the academic year 2017.
As we all know, the central government tax ride on VTU resulted in an enormous financial burden for VTU and also it was speculated by national newspapers and Media’s that the VTU is at the edge of shutting down due to bankruptcy and economic breakdown.
The outcome affected around two and a half lakh engineering students whose results supposed to be announced in the month of February was delayed by almost six months, and even after the delay, some results were withheld and partial results for all semester results were announced only in July beginning.
But the chaos didn’t stop here, and VTU suddenly issued the timetable and expected students to write exams without announcing revaluation results. Only after students protests and media’s pressure VTU postponed examination for the duration of one week and final year students revaluation results have been fully announced just before the day of final year exams.
How can students study for exams without getting revaluation results?
The irony is, this continued for rest of the semesters and VTU Announced the other revaluation results just before the night of exams. That also results were uploaded in pdf files instead of updating in the database which created a huge mess in students and here also most of the student’s revaluation results were missing or withheld, and yes they wrote exams without even knowing their revaluation results.
Due to all these mess and chaos, we, students are indeed affected mentally, and we are not in a situation to bear all these irregularities anymore from University.
Even with an ample amount of time, it is not possible to score good marks in Engineering due to the vast syllabus and strict evaluation by VTU.
How can they expect us to study it announcing revaluation results just before the night of examination?
There are also reports and proofs which show that VTU didn’t evaluate answer scripts in revaluation and issued zero for some students who were expecting more than 80 marks. Still, many students aren’t able to check their results and most the photocopies applied by students are not sent to their emails.
All these issues are literally torturing students, and we are on the verge of giving up hope.
The crash course which was introduced to final year, third year as well as second-year students to save them from year back scheme six months back actually caused more trouble than any good.
All crash course students are now writing more than 16 subjects plus previous backlogs in a duration of just two months.
Most of the colleges didn’t follow the VTU guidelines, and no classes were taken. And they are supposed to write odd semester examination in study holidays for regular students and even semester examinations with regular students. So that will be eight subjects from odd semester plus eight subjects from the even semester as well as previous backlogs.
How is it possible to clear more than 16 subjects in a single attempt?
Even after the announcement of results still, there are hundreds of students whose results are still withheld. Nobody knows why their results are withheld even after seven months of examination.
Three are no guidelines regarding this anywhere on what to follow if results are withheld and missing. Some students results are shown as absent even though they have attended all the examinations.

And when it comes to the yearback system of VTU, which is one of the most cruel punishment for students to sit in home for one year. This leads to depression and mental torture from society. No students and lecturers are in favour of this system.
Since we are the only batch studying in old 2010 scheme and we are hopefully wishing to finish engineering in the same scheme without shifting to CBCS system, and since all these issues bothered students a lot, now we are expecting VTU to take following actions.
Considering all these irregularities as well as chaos, we students of VTU hoping VTU to
1. Cancel year back system for both crash course students as well as regular students for the academic year 2017.
2. Permit students to attend the classes for those who failed in critical subjects as we are the last batch to study to 2010 scheme.
3. Cancel year back system for CBCS students of 2017 batch.

Thank you.

If you are at the edge of writing a dissertation proposal (or thesis proposal) we can only congratulate you — you’ve passed years of academic torture and are ready for the last steps towards the diploma you always dreamed about. However, writing a dissertation proposal can be a challenging obstacle not every student is prepared to overcome, even taking into consideration all those academic papers you have already finished during years in high school, college and university. It is a no-brainer that dissertation proposal writing is hard, but not every student knows that sometimes it is even harder than writing a dissertation or thesis itself.

When you start writing a dissertation proposal nothing is settled, nothing is agreed on, everything is vague and the time is ticking. You need to choose a relevant and impressive topic, prove its actuality to your supervisor, write and approve an outline, etc. You need to make the preliminary, fundamental literature analysis to make sure you will have enough sources to write your dissertation further. You also have to find out what was already done concerning this topic by other scholars and what you can add to their research. If you think all these are done at the stage of writing a dissertation, you are wrong, you have to think about it now. Due to all these complications and challenges, many students prefer to get professional dissertation proposal writing help online in order to deal with the dissertation themselves later much more smoothly and efficiently.

If you are decided to make a similar choice, here are some security measures you have to remember about.

• Choose the agency you have already addressed before. Writing a dissertation proposal is not the best time for experiments. If you have a writing agency in mind that helped you before and the quality of the result was fine — choose the same company. Even if you see cheaper options online, or websites with better design and louder promises — select the one that didn’t let you down before. If you had a writer, you particularly liked, ask him or her to be assigned to deal with your order.
• Check on guarantees. There is a possibility you’ve never addressed writing agencies before. When finding a service you like, check on guarantees they offer. There should be a whole package of them: plagiarism-free guarantee, timely delivery guarantee, confidentiality guarantee, free-revisions guarantee, and money-back guarantee. If something is lacking, it can be a reason not to order a dissertation proposal here. It is a crucial assignment, and you should not take chances.
• Use a progressive-delivery option. The progressive delivery option allows you to pay for your dissertation proposal in installments and receive in part by part. You make a schedule with a support team member and an assigned writer and receive parts of the assignment according to that schedule. This way you gain an opportunity to control every stage of writing, approve every piece separately, make timely corrections, etc. Mostly, for those who choose the progressive-delivery option timeframe for free revisions is extended. You also have an opportunity to diversify your expenditures, not paying a significant sum of money in one transaction.
• Take care of confidentiality. As we’ve already mentioned, you should make sure a writing service provides you with a confidentiality guarantee. However, you should also remember that your security is, first of all, your responsibility. Pay attention to the payment options offered by the [articular agency — they should be commonly used and secure (like PayPal, etc.). Share only necessary information, don’t give too many of your personal details, don’t discuss personal life with support staff and writers. Make sure that the rights for the dissertation proposal you buy belong to you, for this read Term and Conditions. It is essential because otherwise a service you choose can later post your paper online fully or partially or use it as a set of references for other papers. Use a secure connection when communicating with writing services and don’t talk too much about your order even with friends. We don’t want to sound paranoiac, but it is very important to keep everything under control.
• Place an order way before the deadline. In order to save money and make sure everything is written on time, you should order your dissertation proposal at least 2 weeks before the deadline and better earlier. This way writers will have enough time to write your assignment at the needed level of quality, and you will have an opportunity to check the result of their work meticulously.

Getting professional help online to get your dissertation proposal written by experts can save you weeks of sleepless nights and nerves. Make sure you give all the needed instruction from the very beginning and cooperate with the assigned author. Don’t forget about progressive-delivery option and security matters.

The meetings are done and Vice chancellor as well as registrar accepted that the papers have been leaked by miscreants and action will be taken on those who are responsible for it. Yet no word regarding the re exams as many papers are leaked this time. The education minister G.T. Devegowda has assured that if question papers are leaked then exams will be postponed for sure and those are responsible will be arrested.

The meeting is supposed to happen today as well and we will let you guys know if we get any updates.

The Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) Belagavi is making rounds on media again after the event of question paper leakage. It isn’t either new or completely unexpected in an uni of this size. The question papers were previously leaked last time as well for the branches of civil engineering which was found after 24 hours. Exams were rescheduled after that.

This scam of vtu came to light when Dighvijay news and Vijayavani which comes under VRL media limited started investigating the issue.

Though this has happened in the past, we barely saw an exam or two postponed in a semester.
But this time, the investigation bureau of the Dighvijay news is able to debunk the mafia which sells question papers for a mere 10 thousand. As per the sources, the number of papers leaked belong to various branches of engineering and most of the papers are leaked from all branches and semesters.

Investigation bureau of Dighvijay news documented all of it very carefully and they received all question papers just before one hour of the examination. Since most of the examination papers are leaked. We are expecting a re-exam for all of these subjects.

Though it’s not clear which subjects exams will be redone, we are expecting a major changes in exams which are already over since vtu might consider this issue very carefully because of of the pressure from higher authorities.

We also heard, presently Dighvijay news is following up this issue with education minister as well as chief minister as well as high education officials.

We will update once we get the clear picture of the outcome from vtu as well as higher officials of government.

It is suspected that many of the professors and principals of engineering colleges are involved in this and we are yet to hear official word on this.

Stay tuned as we will update this post every hour.

UPDATE@ 01:20 AM 18/12/2019

We have still received no updates from VTU, we can only expect a reply from officials in the morning and confirm whether examinations will be conducted or not.

Since section 144 has been imposed over major parts of the Karnataka, it is unlikely that exams will be conducted under this situation, since there is no communication from VTU on this, we shall wait. But in Kalaburgi holidays are declared.

As we all are observing recently, there was an incident occurred in Jamia university where students were manhandled by police when students protesting against the CAB. This led to nation wide protests and all left parties of the country has given call for the Bharath bundh on 19/12/2019.

Since exams are scheduled for the VTU students, it is still unclear whether vtu is going to take a call and postpone the examinations.
Though postponement of examinations is not a new thing in VTU, we are yet to receive a response from VTU on this manner.
Students are expected to stay calm and concentrate on exams while we continue to get a response from VTU as soon as possible.

Students are also advised not to believe rumors, once we get an official update on the examination postponement we will update it here.

The post Bharath bundh on 19th december appeared first on VTUsouls.

We have got queries from many students whatsapping and sharing one of the circular which states that the
“In the view of bundh, exams scheduled on 6th and 7th of this month has been postponed to the 10th and 11th of this month.”

Though we are amazed by the creativity and genuine looking version of this photo shopped circular, we are very sad to inform that exams will not be postponed and this circular is morphed and we have already forwarded the same to VTU officials and they clearly denied any possibility of postponement of examinations are there are no bundhs on 6th and 7th of this month.

Hence all VTU students are requested to study well instead of giving heed to these type of rumors. If there are any circulars or any announcements, we will be the first ones to know and we will update before even official circular comes in.
So study well with peace.

THIS CIRCULAR IS PHOTO SHOPPED AND FAKE!

Those who are creating these type of mishaps will be reported to the university and strict action will be taken against them.

As we all know, there will be an all India strike from around 10 central trade unions on January 8th, 2019.
Trade unions such as INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA have called for nation wide bundh, since VTU students have exams on that day, we are yet to get any official confirmation whether exams will be there or not. Since most of the trade unions which are participating in this strike contains crores of workers, we can expect a disturbance in the transport services as well as other sectors. But still we have no confirmation from VTU regarding this, we have already forwarded a query to the registrar and expecting a reply before tomorrow evening.

How severe this nation wide strike will be?

Times of India reported that more than 25 crore people are likely to participate in this bundh. Since we do not have any confirmation regarding the availability of the transport systems, VTU likely to announce its decision by tomorrow evening.
Students are expected not to believe any rumors and study well.
Once we hear any update from registrar or vice chancellor, we will be the first to update it here to reduce the stress of students.

VTU has issued two week holiday for all colleges under VTU due to Corona Virus as per the instructions from Governement.

Circular will be announced in few minutes.

VTU issued one more circular quoting

“In the wake of COVID – l-9, it is felt necessary to discourage the movement of students from one place to another. Hence, it is hereby brought to the notice of the students and parents that, no documents will be issued to the students by hand at university offices.

However, students may post their applications with necessary documents and the same will be processed and sent to their respective address.

The post VTU issued holiday for two week appeared first on VTUsouls.

As per the latest media reports and reliable sources, once the lockdown is over, in order to maintain the social distancing it is said that only final year students will be taken into an account to conduct classes to finish the chapters and conduct exams.
This step is to ensure that social distancing is maintained even after lockdown is over. Since final year students may be stuck for another year if exams aren’t conducted, high education ministry, as well as universities, have decided the conduct the exams for final year students for all graduation and post-graduation courses.

This move from universities and vice-chancellors came into light as last week higher education minister Dr Ashwath Narayana conducted a video conference with all college and university delegates.

Though this move may change in upcoming days if the number of cases drops drastically and as of now universities delegates as well as higher education officials considered to include the only final year students for the classes and examinations.

The post Classes and exams will be conducted only for final year students appeared first on VTUsouls.

Due to corona, we can see the entire world shut down to maintain social distancing. Malls and cinema halls, as well as universities across the country and state, have been shut down from more than a month.
In a situation like this Vice-chancellor of VTU gave a confusing statement quoting there won’t be any problem in VTU if exams are conducted in August as normally VTU used to conduct examinations in June.

But the problem here is the students who have not attended any classes since the beginning of the lockdown. Most of the colleges have never conducted any kind of online classes and even if they have, students who don’t have good internet connectivity can never make use of it.

Despite knowing all this, Vice-chancellor seems to care only about the schedule but not the future of students which is definitely uncertain at this point.
Even with a properly planned academic schedule, it is not possible most of the time to cover the vast syllabus of VTU, and talking in a situation like this?
There has been a discussion about conducting examinations online, but since rural students do not have access to good internet, this was ruled out in a recent conference.
We are amazed how easily it took vice-chancellor to say that there be any issues to conduct examinations and students waiting for a further move by VTU.

The post Confusing statement by VC: No problem in VTU to conduct examinations in August 2020. appeared first on VTUsouls.

Recently UGC released a circular which mentioned following points which created many confusions among the students and in this article we will try to clear all of them:

As per the circular of UGC:

1. Colleges shall open from the 1st of August for present students who are already studying in engineering colleges and new students batch shall be open from September.
2. UGC also clarified that conducting exams are left to universities and it can be either online or offline. Universities may act on the behalf of UGC and take the necessary measure to provide the fair opportunity for all the students.
3. UGC also said, for the academic year 2020-2021 classes will be held 6 days a week, i.e. from Monday to Saturday.
4. If university is not able to conduct the examinations, it shall adopt the method where 50% marks are considered from the internal assessment and remaining 50% shall be considered from the performance of previous semester.
5. The timing duration of the examinations may be altered and reduced from 3 hours to 2 hours and also social distancing should be maintained all times during examinations. We are still skeptical how this can be implemented.
6. UGC also suggested one more point which says, if previous semester marks are not available in the case of first year students, university can consider the internal assessment to provide the grades.

Last but not least again UGC made a point that it is left to universities to chalk their own plan ignoring any of the points mentioned above.

So at the end of day, it’s call of VC and other members of board of studies and executive council.

The post VTU issued strict guidelines to colleges regarding examinations and covid 19 safety appeared first on VTUsouls.

There is an important update regarding the examinations for all degree students as recently higher education minister Dr Ashwath Narayan did video conferencing with all vice-chancellors of the state universities including VTU.

It has been decided that all the examinations will be held shortly after May 31st once the syllabus is finished by the respective colleges and universities.

But as expected this has caused a high disappointment in many students as most of the colleges never conducted a single online class and many rural students can not benefit from it even if they did due to network restrictions.

Though higher education minister has said

I understand that students who are staying in rural areas cannot attend classes conducted through Zoom App due to network issues. For the benefit of those students, we have uploaded the pre-recorded content on the Youtube channel launched by the department.

Still, students need a good internet connection to make a benefit out of it.

It has been also observed that the minister is keen on conducting examinations only for final year students. We can look at Maharashtra government’s decision on conducting the examination only for final year and promoting the remaining students. But still, it is not confirmed. But students are expected to start the preparations right now to avoid the last-minute rush.

As per the statement from the minister

Tentatively, we are planning to conduct examinations after May. Students and parents do not need to worry about it.

Let us hope this tentative schedule won’t be a trouble for students from the rural side and we are yet to see any confirmation on examinations.

The higher education minister of Karnataka.
Chancellor of VTU.
Vice-chancellor of VTU.

Dear sir,
As students of engineering we have come to know that the examinations are scheduled shortly after syllabus are completed within May 30 as per your latest tweet and media reports.

We, as students are going through a very tough phase right now due to Covid-19 and this move by the higher education department and universities have disappointment us very much.

We would like to ask a few questions to the Visvesvaraya Technological University aka VTU.

1. How many colleges took an initiative in conducting classes online and how many students attended it?

2. How many colleges are taking time to finish the syllabus on time doing online classes?

3. It is not possible for all faculties to finish the syllabus on time during normal classes and we expect them to finish it via online classes?
How sane is it to expect the syllabus to be finished before May 31st?

The situation out there is worse than what we think it is. With so many people using internet from home, most of the students are totally dependent on mobile network data for online classes, since there is a shortage of bandwidth due to lockdown, it is practically impossible to attend the classes online and expect us to score good marks.

There is a drastic difference in learning while the lecturer is teaching in front of you and via video conferencing. There are a lot of issues in the process.

We are not ready for examinations and no certainly we are not mentally prepared for this.

In Maharashtra decision came in favour of students by allowing only final year students to appear for university exams and others to be promoted directly.

Why this can’t happen here, please let us know.

Please allow all other semesters except final students to get promoted to next semester considering our IA marks. This shall be the one-time exception.

The post Petition to Dr. Ashwath Narayan : Higher education minister appeared first on VTUsouls.

VTU issued a new circular quoting colleges working days are extended as follows:

Sub: Regarding extension of last working day.

It was informed to all the colleges vide above circular that the colleges would continue with the online classes and interventions with the students up to 31 May 2020. It was also instructed to the colleges to ensure that the evaluation of internal assessment of the theory, practicals and project work also to be completed before 31 May 2020.

However, considering the difficulties faced by few colleges in completing these evaluations, University has decided to extend the term as per the details given below-
Programmes Last working day:

II sem to VIII sem B.E/B.Tech./ B. Arch./ X sem B.Arch./ IV sem MBA/ VI sem MCA/IV sem M.Tech/ IV sem M.Arch./II sem MBA/ II sem M.Arch: 15.06.2020

IV sem & II sem MCA/ II sem M.Tech: 07.07.2020

The institutes should plan properly and see that the internal assessment evaluation reports are kept ready on or before 15 June 2020. It is also requested that the online classes should continue. If possible few sessions on Universal Human Values could be planned. The colleges also could extend the mentoring support to the students wherever necessary.

There were many speculations that VTU might promote all the students except final year students, but now looking at the extension, many students are worried that this might not be the case.

As per our sources, VTU has not decided anything on this matter and final decision will be taken in June 1st week. So until then we request all students to concentrate on studies.

The post Why VTU working days of colleges extended? appeared first on VTUsouls.

Recently there has been a lot of discussions going on regarding the examinations, as per the outcomes of the video conference of the HRD minister, it has been said that the examinations will be there for only final year students and all other students will be promoted based on internal marks.

But we want to tell students clearly that it is up to respective universities to take the decision, but since many VTU students contacted us asking whether this is the case with VTU or is there a possibility of modification in this. We had called the registrar of the examination on this issue and here is the conversation:

VTUsouls: As per UGC guidelines it has been said that exams will be conducted only for the final year students and other students can be promoted directly, is this true?

Registrar: UGC guidelines are clearly written that it is advisory, and it is up to universities to take the decision. It will be decided by the honorable education minister as well as vice-chancellor.

VTUsouls: When this decision is expected?

Registrar: There will be a meeting tomorrow, i.e., on 1st June 2020, something may come out of it tomorrow.

So we expect all the students to study properly since no decision has been made yet on this

The post NO, VTU won’t promote students, no decision on it yet. appeared first on VTUsouls.

As you all know already, today is a good day because VTU final took it’s stand to favouring the students and promoted all first year, second year as well as third-year students without any examinations. But this isn’t applicable for final year students.

Even though this is good news certainly, there are so many doubts among VTU students so let’s fix it all one by one.

Let’s go through the latest quote from Higher education minister Ashwath Narayan.

UGC has recently issued guidelines regarding the conduct of examinations keeping COVID19 in mind. The Higher Education Department has taken a decision on the same after taking into consideration these guidelines keeping in mind the long term interests of our students.
Intermediate semester students will be promoted based on a comprehensive evaluation parameter.

The promotion will be based on ‘Comprehensive Evaluation’ with 50:50 weightage to internal marks and the aggregate of previous semester marks (if available)
Students who desire to improve his/her scores will be allowed to appear for examinations conducted during the next semester.
If a student has a backlog, those subjects will be carried forward and he/she will need to appear in examinations for them in the next semester.
Examinations for final semester/year students including for backlogs will be conducted by the end of September 2020.
Further details on the process and schedule will be notified by the respective Universities. Reach out to 080-22341394 if you have any query.

This quote has certainly answered most of the questions in students mind.

Let me make a few assumptions and solve it one by one.

1. I’m from the first year (Or second or third year) and I have a backlog, even though I’m promoted, will I be allowed to take exams for my backlogs?

Nope, not gonna happen, no exams. This applies for backlogs too.

2. I’m from final year and I have backlogs from 5th or 6th or 7th semester, will I be allowed to take backlog exams?

Yes, definitely you will be given a chance to attend the backlogs of any semester.

3. I’m passed out student this will be my last attempt to finish engineering, what to do?

You will be allowed to take up examinations and this will be considered as a last attempt too. But I hope, I really really really hope to get an extension for all of you guys. Please wait for a few days.

4. I’m passed out student with a backlog from 6th semester, will I be given exams of that backlog and this will be my last attempt?

Yes, you will be allowed to take that examination.

5. I don’t like this “corona promotion”, I studied like a hardcore nerd in this lockdown without watching Money heist and Dark, what should I do?

You can take up next semester examination along with this semester exams too, well that’s 16 subjects altogether. :p

6. What will be my score of this semester?

Check your previous semester results. That will be your score.

7. I have not attended my previous semester?
Umm, I don’t know, let me ask registrar and update the post.

Well, that’s enough questions I feel, if you have a few more questions, drop in the comment box and I will answer.
