Bring back weekend semester
The removal of the weekend semester has reduced flexibility for many students. Weekend semesters gave students an opportunity to improve their CGPA, clear backlogs, lighten their regular semester workload, and graduate with stronger academic records.
Many students rely on this option to recover from a difficult semester or balance academics with internships, projects, placements, or personal circumstances. Without it, students have fewer opportunities to improve their performance before graduation.
We respectfully request the VIT administration to reintroduce the weekend semester as an optional academic opportunity. This would:
- Allow students to improve their CGPA.
- Help students clear backlogs earlier.
- Reduce academic pressure during regular semesters.
- Support better placement prospects and higher studies.
- Provide greater flexibility without making it mandatory for anyone.
We understand that administrative and faculty considerations are important, but we believe that bringing back the weekend semester would greatly benefit the student community while remaining entirely optional.
We kindly request the administration to reconsider this decision and restore the weekend semester for the benefit of current and future students.

I've couple of backs, right now I'm a 3rd year student I want to eligible for internships so, if weekend is available then it would be much better focus on current subjects and backlogs
Bringing back weekend semester is important because we can clear our backlogs as soon as possible and register for new courses which can help us clear the total credites required
Bring it back at least for the 3rd years and 4th years so that people can complete their required number of credits and sit for placements
It is important because we can clear our backlog subjects easily by attending the classes in weekends apart from the recommended courses. And further we can do grade improvement in weekend sem
Need weekend
Important for 4th years to clear their backs by 7th sem
Have a pending backlog in BSTS101P, and clearing it this semester is critical. Since the course was not on the FFCS portal, I am requesting the department to offer it as weekend classes this semester.
