How is marks distribution in 8th semester engineering in vtu?
According to one of my friends at Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), the total marks in the eighth semester of engineering are 750. There are a total of 6 subjects.
The distribution is as follows:
- There are 4 subjects whose theory carries 100 marks in the external examination and 25 in the internal examination.
- After this, there is a seminar that is marked out of 50 and it is internally evaluated.
- The most important is Project work, as it carries the maximum marks of 200.
- The marks are then divided equally into internal and external examinations.
- In order to score well in project works and seminars, you need to make sure to have a good impression of the guide.
The marks distribution is based on Choice Based Credit System. It will be updated in the year 2020.
How do I get VTU marks card degree certificate attested and how many days does it take Can we get it done in Bangalore?
I have a few friends from VTU and according to them, there are three ways to get this.
By Hand at VTU Belagavi: Go to the Examination Section of VTU Belagavi. Fill out the required paperwork and pay the fee by 12:30 p.m. to receive your documents by 4:30 p.m.
By Post: Go to VTU's website and download the application form, fill it and make online fee payment. Mail the application, fee payment acknowledgment, along with attested documents by post to VTU's Registrar (Evaluation). Documents will be mailed to the address you provided in your application. This can take anything from 7 to 14 days.
Manually at VTU Regional Center, Bengaluru: VTU Regional Center, Bengaluru accepts applications for selected documents. Application forms and fee payments are normally made at nearby Cyber Centers, but instead of sending them to VTU Belagavi by post, you can follow step 2 above and hand in the application at VTU Regional Center. After roughly 8–10 days, you must personally pick up the documents at VTU Regional Center.
Here are some of the things that you should keep in mind.
- Online payments are only accepted through the SBI payment link on the VTU website. Cash or DD are not accepted.
- Only the Degree Certificate is issued by VTU to autonomous college students; all other documents, like grade cards, PDCs, and so on, are issued by the autonomous college itself.
- Only if the degree certificate has not yet been issued can a PDC be issued. Because degree certificates are granted during convocation, which normally takes place in January or February each year, one should not register for PDC after convocation.
- Degree certificates can be collected in person on the day of the convocation at VTU Belagavi, and you will not have to wait for them to be mailed to you.
Hope this answers your doubts.
How do I get a duplicate marks card issued from VTU?
asYou should first file a police complaint regarding your missing marks cards, they will give you a complaint copy. After that, you can apply for your duplicate copy.

Should I apply for VTU revaluation?
One of my friends applied for revaluation in 7 semesters for more than 20 subjects. His scores also increased. The only thing to keep in mind is to apply for it if you are confident that your answers are not checked properly and deserve better marks.
Consider these points before applying:
- Go ahead with it only if it feels extremely necessary.
- Mainly review the questions you have answered and left, Check the answers again.
- See the scoring pattern of your classmates selectively.
- Check the University analysis on the subject in ‘fast VTU results’.
- Your presentation of answers on that day.
- Discuss it with your faculty.
- Judge the gap in mindset between you and the 1st evaluator (If you are familiar with it).
Make a wise decision. Do not fall for rumors, apply only if you are confident about it.
Why is VTU called the worst university?
Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is not considered the worst university but surely has many flaws. These include the following:
- The syllabus is more than a decade old and the rate at which technology and science are growing, VTU is failing to catch up.
- The evaluation process is very poor. There is a very high chance that your marks will increase every time you apply for revaluation.
- VTU is one of the largest universities in India with 212 colleges affiliated with it. Most of the colleges have below-average laboratories, campus facilities, research centers, and poor placements.
- Students graduating from these institutes score less marks and thus lose placement opportunities.
- VTU’s standard of faculty is really low.
One of the things that bother aspirants is the reservation system. If you are an SC/ST belonging to the state of Karnataka then you have no problem in getting a good college with little effort through CET. If you are a general candidate then everything depends on your work.
I have done my B E from VTU and my aggregate is 52 I had many backlogs What is a way to calculate my VTU percentage if anyone had backlogs?
The aggregate marks do not carry much importance as they are the passing marks you scored in all semesters. Don't worry about backlogs that much. Calculate your marks after clearing them.
Now, degree percentage is different at every university, and VTU will calculate your score based on your performance from 5th-8th semesters and show that on your degree.
However, the good news is that outside VTU, you should state your overall percentage which is your actual percentage.
How can I change my branch in VTU?
In order to change your branch, you need to be a 3rd-semester student without any backlogs in the previous 2 semesters. If you satisfy these criteria then go through the following steps:
- Consider talking to your faculty advisor (proctor) in your present department and highlight the reasons for your change of branch.
- Take his/her permission and signature on your application addressed to your Head of Department (HoD).
- If you do not have a faculty advisor (proctor) then, directly talk to your HOD highlighting your interest in the new branch you aspire to change and then take his/her permission and signature on your application.
- If the HoD agrees, then he/she will forward your letter to the Principal.
- Once you get it approved by the principal, you need to go to your college's administrative office.
- Pay the VTU fees (INR 2500) and required semester college fees (depends on your college).
After this, you will have successfully completed the procedure.
How can I get a migration certificate from VTU? What are the details and signatures required on the form?
According to the information I got online, if your college is affiliated then you just have to fill the migration application form that is provided on the VTU website and then fill in all the details.
In the last line forwarded to VTU registrar ”...this is to certify…” you can either ask your new college academic person to fill it.
Or ask your college a bonafide certificate or study certificate and pin that with the application form alongwith the e-payment SBI fee receipt.
Get your degree certificate / provisional degree certificate attested from any gazetted officer by showing them the original copy.
Then post the whole document by speed post to the address mentioned on the website of VTU that is to the registrar.
After receiving your post they will transfer the migration certificate to your new college.
VTU had recently cancelled the year back system. Does it apply for CBCS students too?
VTU hasn’t canceled the year-back system. You will still get a year back if you get more than four backlogs in a year. But having backlogs previous to the previous year won’t result in a year-back. The rules are as follows.
- Students who have less than four backlogs in the first two semesters are eligible for the second year.
- Students who have less than four backlogs in the four semesters of the first year and second year are eligible to move to the third year.
- Students who have the required credits for first year and don’t have more than four backlogs in four semesters of second and third year are eligible for fourth year.
So, you will still get a year-back, if you have more than four backlogs in an academic year.
How difficult is VTU in India?
It's as difficult as it gets. In the second year, more than half of students have a backlog.
If you are an outsider, you will have to deal with some unpleasant situations as well; you will not receive excellent internal marks, which are 25 points. Expect nothing from your teachers, but this is true throughout India.
Attendance should be at least 75%. Only a few colleges have severe standards, while others are more lenient. Attendance should not be taken lightly; lack of attendance might result in semester detention, even in the seventh semester. Students fail practical exams here as well, and backlogs are common. You never know what's going to happen.
Regardless of these factors, I recommend that you go for VTU, just remember that you are here to study; you can do other fun things in addition to studying, but you must not neglect study at any cost.
In VTU, you can’t score well by studying just the night before the examination. You will have to study regularly. If you study hard during the semester, your marks will be good.
To get a good grade, you need to do well in both the internal and practical exams. Then you can only obtain a 60% in the semester; to get a higher grade, you must do well on the final exam. It is difficult to achieve a score of more than 70 out of 100 on an external exam.
Marking method for VTU:
- Internal marks: 25 (assume it's an A)
- Passing grade=50, which equals A+B.
When thinking about passing grades, If you obtain a 0 in internal, you must score 50 in external. Similarly, if your internal score is 15, you must get 35.
