JNTU-KAKINADA : Relaxation of Credits for promotion to B.Tech 3-1 Semester for the academic year 2014-15

The class work for III B.Tech I Semester for the academic year 2014-15 commences from 25th August 2014.

As per the existing academic regulations (2010-11 batch onwards) "A student shall be promoted from II year to III year if he/she fulfills the academic requirements of 40% of the credits up to II year I Semester from all the examinations, whether or not the candidate takes the examinations and secures prescribed minimum attendance in II year II Semester" (rule 5.3).

It is informed that the last academic year i.e 2013-14 was greatly disturbed for more than 4 months due to Samakyandhra agitation. The loss of class work has been compensated by accommodating extra periods per day. Since all the examinations have been staggered, the process of declaration of results has been slightly deviated from the normal schedules.

Vide references (i) cited above, proceedings have been issued for relaxation of credits for promotion to IV B.Tech I Semester (40% of the credits up to III year I Semester from all the examinations and 40% of the credits up to III year II Semester from all the examinations) for the academic year 2014-15 only in view of Samaikyandhra agitation.

In this connection, a committee has been constituted, vide ref (ii) cited, to suggest whether similar concessions can be extended for promotion into III B.Tech I Sem. The committee opined that, in view of Samaikyandhra agitation, the performance of the students might have adversely affected due to disturbed academic environment and staggered examination schedules. The members of the committee felt that under such circumstances, stipulation of credit requirement for the current academic year may result in loss of one academic year for several students and hence recommended the following vide ref (iii):

Members of the committee recommended for relaxation of minimum credit requirement for promotion to III year I Semester (40% of the credits up to II year I Semester from all the examinations and 40% of the credits up to II year II Semester from all the examinations) for the academic year 2014-15 only in view of Samakyandhra agitation.

Further the committee recommended that the students should fulfill the minimum credit requirements as per academic regulations for promotion into III B.Tech I Semester and IV B.Tech I Semester for the academic year 2015-16 and hence this relaxation should not be extended in future.

Under the above circumstances, the Hon'ble Vice -Chancellor, vide ref(iv) is pleased to relax the minimum credits required for promotion into III B.Tech I Sem for the academic year 2014-15 only, as a special case, due to Samaikyandhra agitation, details of which are as follows:
  • Relaxation of 40% of the credits up to II B.Tech I Semester from all the examinations.
  • Relaxation of 40% of the credits up to II B.Tech II Semester from all the examinations.
  • Students should fulfill the minimum credit requirements as per academic regulations for promotion into III B.Tech-I Sem and IV B.Tech I Sem for the academic year 2015-16.

This credit relaxation should not be claimed as precedence in the future academic years.
