AKTU Affiliated Colleges

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.

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.

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.

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.

AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) year back rule:

AKTU year back: a student is detained (year back / year drop) if they have more than a certain number of backlogs that prevent promotion to the next year.

under AKTU regulations: students must clear all papers of Years 1-2 before appearing in Year 3 exams. specifically:

• to get promoted from 2nd year to 3rd year: must have cleared all 1st year subjects
• to get promoted from 3rd year to 4th year: must have cleared all 2nd year subjects
• carrying too many KTs (backlogs) beyond this limit results in 'year back' — you repeat the year

in 2021 specifically, AKTU issued special provisions allowing students to carry some backlogs due to COVID disruptions — some relaxations were made. check the official AKTU notification on aktu.ac.in for the regulations applicable to your batch as rules have been modified over years. your college's exam department has the exact detention rules for your specific scheme.
