Re-Admission of Detained Students from OLD SCHEME to NEW SCHEME

The candidates admitted to B. E. / B. Tech. before the academic year 2002-2003 and
detained in second semester have to repeat the whole semester with new course. In such
cases,
If the students had studied his/her I semester with Chemistry group subjects will have to join
II Semester New Scheme with physics group. However, they will have to study ELEMENTS OF
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MES14 in place of Elements of Civil Engineering CIV23.
Provision should be made to conduct MES14 theory classes and internal assessment test for
these
students
by
the
respective
colleges.
Students studied I semester with Physics group will be readmitted to II Semester Chemistry
(New Scheme) along with the regular students without any replacement of subjects.

Rejection of semester results

A candidate if desires, shall reject the results of whole semester irrespective of performance
of any individual subject. However, there is no provision for the rejection of results of any
individual subject. Such rejection shall be permitted only once during the entire course of
study.
A candidate can reject the semester results and can take readmission. In such cases,
candidate should attended the classes and obtain new internal assessment marks. For such
rejection application shall be sent to the Registrar (Academic) within 30 days from the date
of
announcement
of
results.
A candidate can reject the semester results by keeping the term attended. In such cases of
rejection, Internal Assessment will not be changed. For such rejection application shall be
sent to the Registrar (Evaluation) within 30 days from the date of announcement of results.
Not Fit for Technical Course - NFTC
A candidate who has not obtained eligibility for third semester after a period of three
academic years from the date of first admission shall discontinue the course. However, the
candidate is eligible for readmission for first year B.E./B. Tech. in any college of the
University.
The candidate shall complete the course within a period of eight academic years from the
date of first admission, failing which he/she has to discontinue the course
It

the
5th
semester
within
6
academic
years
or
7th
semester
within
7
academic
years
from the date of first admission will not be able to complete the course and hence will have
to discontinue after 6th or 7th academic years, respectively as the case may be.
