Questions Asked On AKTU, Lucknow
What is the AKTU Grace marks procedure?
AKTU (Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University) grace marks procedure:
- AKTU grants grace marks to help borderline failing students pass. the process is automatic — students don't apply for it individually
- Grace limit: typically up to 5-7 marks per paper if the student fails by that margin. maximum grace across subjects per semester is capped
- grace marks are applied after results are compiled by AKTU's examination division
- if grace marks help you pass, your result shows 'P' (pass) — there's typically no separate notation for grace
if you believe you should have received grace but didn't:
- apply for re-evaluation/re-checking through your college's exam department
- AKTU's re-evaluation process: submit application + fee within 15 days of result declaration
check aktu.ac.in or your college exam office for exact current grace mark rules applicable to your batch/scheme — these policies are updated by AKTU periodically.
What is your review of Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Technical University AKTU?
Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam Technical University isn’t a good option for pursuing technical courses. The curriculum followed by the institute is outdated. You will only learn the theoretical aspects of engineering. It doesn’t offer the practical hands-on experience students require to excel in the technical field.
Most students usually get placed in the IT sector, irrespective of their branches. The highlights of recent AKTU placements show the average package offered by the institute to be around INR 2-3 LPA.
What are the “year-back” criteria in AKTU?
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.
What is the grading system in AKTU?
AKTU (Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University) grading system:
AKTU uses a 10-point grading system for BTech/MBA/MCA programs:
- O (Outstanding): 91-100 marks ? 10 grade points
- A+ (Excellent): 81-90 ? 9 grade points
- A (Very Good): 71-80 ? 8 grade points
- B+ (Good): 61-70 ? 7 grade points
- B (Above Average): 55-60 ? 6 grade points
- C (Average): 50-54 ? 5 grade points
- P (Pass): 40-49 ? 4 grade points
- F (Fail): below 40 ? 0 grade points
SGPA (Semester GPA) and CGPA (Cumulative GPA) are calculated based on credit-weighted grade points. for percentage equivalent: AKTU uses CGPA × 10 for a rough conversion. check your specific batch's AKTU ordinance for exact grade point boundaries as they can vary by scheme.
How can I remove a backlog in AKTU? Is there a marked over result if I cleared it?
If you have a backlog in a semester, you need to fill out a carryover form and retake the examination for that subject with your juniors. For odd semester subjects, you need to appear in the next odd semester and for even semester subjects, you need to appear in the next even semester.
After you clear the backlog, AKTU will issue a new marksheet. The final result will show pass.
What is “internal back” in AKTU?
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.
What happens if a UFM is showing on an AKTU result?
UFM means Unfair Means in AKTU exam results. if UFM shows on your AKTU result, it means you were caught using unfair means (cheating, impersonation, mobile phone, etc.) during the exam.
consequences of UFM at AKTU:
- the paper in which UFM was used is typically cancelled — you get 0 marks or the result is withheld
- you may be debarred from exams for 1-3 years depending on the severity
- a formal inquiry/committee review happens before punishment is finalized
- the UFM case goes to a committee at AKTU that reviews and decides penalty
what to do if UFM is marked:
- contact your college examination cell immediately
- you have the right to present your case before the AKTU UFM committee
- hire a lawyer for serious cases or if debarment seems likely
- represent that it was a genuine mistake if applicable
don't ignore it — respond promptly. check aktu.ac.in for the UFM appeals process and contact the AKTU registrar office.
What are the passing criteria for in the AKTU semester?
AKTU (Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University) semester passing criteria:
- Theory: minimum 30 marks out of 100 (30%) in semester end exam PLUS 75% attendance required to sit in exam
- Internal Assessment: minimum marks in sessional/internal separately
- Combined passing: to pass a subject, you need minimum in both internal and external. failing either means a KT (backlog)
- Overall semester: a student passes a semester by clearing individual subjects. with too many backlogs, promotion may be affected (year back rule applies)
AKTU's passing threshold is 30% in the end semester exam — relatively lenient compared to some universities. but attendance is strictly monitored (75% minimum compulsory). check aktu.ac.in for the latest ordinance for your specific batch/scheme as AKTU has multiple running exam schemes.
Is scoring marks difficult in 1st year at AKTU UPTU?
Scoring decent marks in 1st year at AKTU UPTU isn’t too difficult. Attending lectures regularly and studying a few hours each day can easily get you good grades.
The 1st year syllabus is almost the same for all branches. The subjects covered are related to basic engineering and aren’t too difficult. You will be studying basic, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computer, etc. Most of the topics, you would have covered in your 12th itself. Although the syllabus of maths will be slightly different.
Do marks increase in the re-checking of AKTU?
There’s a rumor that applying for rechecking is just a waste of money and time. But if you are confident, that you have done well in your paper and deserve a better score, you should opt for AKTU revaluation. Your marks can increase after rechecking of AKTU. Many of my friends and seniors opted for rechecking and got their marks revaluated.
