We, the undersigned students of KTU, respectfully submit this petition to request a reconsideration of the yearback policy being enforced on certain batches. The implementation of this policy, under the current academic and practical circumstances, is unjust and harmful to the affected students’ academic careers and mental well-being. We wish to bring the following critical concerns to your kind attention:
⸻
1. COVID-19 Impact on Learning:
The current S6 students belong to the batch that completed their Plus One and Plus Two during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, through online classes. These students entered engineering college without a proper foundation, and their early semesters in college (S1–S4) were also largely online. This led to severe learning gaps in core subjects, which has had a lasting impact on their academic performance.
2. Yearback Implementation Confusion for S4 Students:
In the case of S4 students, if the yearback rule is strictly implemented, they will face a situation where they may be shifted to a new academic scheme (possibly the 2024 scheme). This shift is highly disruptive, as it will force students to adapt to an entirely different curriculum midway through their education, which is neither practical nor fair.
3. Unfair Discrepancy with the 2019 Batch:
The 2019 admission batch, despite facing similar or lesser academic difficulties, was not subjected to the yearback policy. Applying it now to current students, who dealt with more intense disruptions due to the pandemic, shows inconsistency in the university’s decisions and creates a sense of injustice.
4. Lack of Clear Official Circular on Yearback:
The university has not issued a comprehensive and transparent circular regarding the implementation of the yearback system. As a result, many colleges failed to inform students in time, leading to confusion and missed chances for improvement.
5. Natural Calamities Affecting Exam Attendance:
Many students were unable to attend supplementary examinations due to heavy rains and floods in various regions of Kerala. These were unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, and students should not be penalized for acts of nature.
6. Negative Impact on Students’ Future:
Enforcing the yearback rule will result in students losing an academic year, which will severely affect their job placements, internships, higher education plans, and mental well-being. It adds an unnecessary burden on students who are already striving to catch up post-pandemic.
7. Improper Valuation and Delay in Revaluation Results:
Many students have experienced issues with inaccurate or inconsistent evaluation of answer scripts. Additionally, the revaluation results are not being published in time, leaving students in uncertainty. This delay has directly affected students’ ability to clear subjects and avoid yearback, despite being eligible or close to passing.

Remove this system, it's not necessary,bcuz lot of people studied well but because of tention they can't write it on exams . So this year back system is not good for average students, kindly requesting to Remove this year back system
The credit system for yearback in KTU feels really unfair. It puts too much pressure on students and doesn’t take their overall performance into account. It affects mental health and kills motivation. There should be a more supportive and fair way to assess students.
I don’t know about this year back system. My collage don’t say about these in s1 and s2 suddenly its comes our pressure was so great. And one more thing i have 19 credit only but oru supply result comes july or august. The S5 registration was before july. What to do
Please avoid yearback for the 2019 scheme students. An immediate action will be very hard for students. It can be implemented next year to 2024 scheme students by giving better awareness to them throughout the semester. Avoid yearback.
Many of us are not asking for leniency out of convenience but out of genuine concern for our future. A yearback not only delays our education and career but also places an emotional and financial burden on students and their families
To avoid year back of 2024 batch
Because so many students suffering

We would like to raise a serious concern that there was no prior information or official communication from the University or the college regarding the year back scheme, and as a result, many students are now falling short on subject credits unexpectedly.
