VTU Year Back System Will Be Cancelled Or Not [UPDATED]
VTU Year Back System Will Be Removed or Not
The VTU year back or carry-over system is one of the real problem faced by the students studying in colleges that affiliated to vishweshwaraiah technological university. By the way, this is not the first time rumors spread on about VTU year back system. We hear this almost every year.
The students are pretty confident that this time around VTU is going to cancel the Year back system. We did ask them about the source of information they replied that their college principal told them but how accurate is this only time will tell.
Why should VTU year back system be canceled?
The year back concept does not exist in any other universities in India or anywhere else in the world. We all are aware that student is going to lose a complete year if they get a year back. Wasting a year only to pass a subject is entirely unfair.
Some of the other reasons this time are that the students currently studying in the 3rd year are the last batch to complete the 2010 scheme. If a student gets a year back now, then they have to study 2015 CBCS syllabus for the final year. The crash semester exam results will be published along with their corresponding 6th and 8th-semester exam. Crash Course students hardly had 15 days before they can write the regular examination.
What are the rules for a year back?
- A candidate seeking eligibility for the 3rd semester should not have failed in more than four subjects of first and second semesters taken together.
- A student is eligible for the 5th semester if they have passed in all the subjects of 1st and 2nd semesters and should not have failed in more than four subjects of third and fourth semesters taken together.
- For 7th semester eligibility, a student should have passed in all the subjects up to 4th semester and should not have failed in more than four subjects of 5th and 6th semesters taken together.
Will VTU cancel year back system?
First, let me tell you guys a story. In the year 2012, some students filed a petition against the VTU year back system. However, the High Court of Karnataka ruled out the petition quoting “Students should know the rules before joining VTU or any of its affiliated colleges.”
In a recent interview, VTU Vice-chancellor Karisiddappa told that
So in conclusion, we all want VTU year back system gone for good. However, from the above statement of VTU Vice-chancellor, the likeliness of this happening is next to impossible. We do not think students who are signing online petitions on websites like change.org, is going help in any way too as we can find hundreds of similar threads on those sites written a long time ago. Sorry to disappoint, but we have to accept the truth.
UPDATE
Some group of the student are planning a rally and protest against VTU on August 18th. If you are against VTU year back system and seeking justice. We would advise you to join them and make it a successful one.
Students have reached out almost every media regarding the year back, and the response by media was positive too. Over 20 state newspapers and few provincial print media have reported this issue. Advertisements are posted throughout the city and also in the presence of some engineering colleges.

Latest Update on VTU Year Back System
Today AIDSO volunteers officially contacted many college principals. If you want to check the list of colleges please visit our Facebook page link is provided at the end. Remaining colleges in Bangalore will be covered tomorrow.
Why did AIDSO contact all college principals and what are its benefits?
As we all know, in the previous meet with VC, he said that there will be an executive council meeting on 30/08 and all college principals meeting on 31/08 regarding our protests and what should be the measure to solve all these issues.
One thing which is surprising and unbelievable is that each and every college principals are disappointed with VTU regarding examination system and no supplementary. We have submitted the request letter to all these college principals, and they have promised us that they will stand with students in this regard.
Why would college principals support students?
This is the question, but the catch here is, this time more than 30,000 Engineering seats are vacant and most of the students either shifting to autonomous or other courses because of CBCS and no supplementary in VTU.
College managements are extremely disappointed by lack of admissions this year, and all principals and management are with us.
What should students do?
In order to put more pressure on the next meeting, we are calling for a statewide bundh of VTU colleges on September 1st, and no principals are opposing it.
Obviously, they can’t support it openly because of affiliation with VTU, but it is our right to protest, and no colleges will force you to attend on that day.
Now it’s your turn to abandon classes on 01/09/2017 and head over to Mysore Bank Circle Bangalore.
No student shall attend classes on 01/09.
Protest venue: Mysore Bank Circle at 9:00 AM.
