JNTU Hyderabad increased the grace marks for engineering students!

JNTUH has made an important announcement for students who have completed B.Tech. It is known that the students of the 2018 batch who have backlogs have been demanding subject exemption. In this regard, the students also submitted petitions to the Telangana Governor Tamilisai. She had a discussion with JNTU VC professor Katta Narsimha Reddy twice.

The VC was directed to take appropriate decision for the benefit of the students. As the credits have already been reduced to 160, it was decided that exemption of the subject is not possible. However, it has been decided to increase the grace marks in the interest of the students.

According to AICTE rules, it is sufficient for B.Tech students to have between 152 to 160 credit points by the time they complete four years of study. But JNTUH says that there should be 160 credits.

Generally students with two backlogs in engineering are given 0.15% of total marks i.e. 9 marks as grace. However, in view of the latest situation, the VC revealed that it has been decided to increase the grace marks to 0.25 percent and combine them with the total marks. It means that about 15 marks will be added as grace marks. It has been clarified that the increase in grace marks will be applicable only for the current academic year. He said that exams will be conducted for students with backlogs in December.
