Please remove the year-back system, We heard there is no year back for the 2019 scheme. Finally, after all the examinations, they said about a year back. How is it possible for students.

Subject: Urgent Request to Cancel the Year-Back System for 2019 Scheme B.Tech Students
Respected Sir/Madam,
We are students of the 2019 B.Tech scheme under your esteemed university, write this letter on behalf of numerous students who are under severe academic and emotional distress due to the enforcement of the year-back system. We earnestly appeal for your kind intervention in revoking this policy for our batch, which is facing unique and unprecedented challenges.
Deeper and Long-Term Impacts of the Year-Back System
1. Academic Disruption Beyond a Year
While termed a "year-back", this system does not just delay education by one year. It interrupts the academic momentum, and due to semester-based course offerings, students may have to wait for specific subjects to be repeated—effectively increasing the delay to 18–24 months in some cases. This creates a discontinuity in learning and forces students to revisit older subjects out of sync with their academic progression.
2. Severe Psychological and Emotional Impact
The threat and implementation of a year-back inflict long-term psychological trauma on students:
Feelings of hopelessness, social stigma, and isolation.
Elevated levels of anxiety, burnout, and academic fatigue.
Loss of confidence and motivation, leading to academic detachment or even dropouts.
Many students have already faced prolonged emotional strain due to the pandemic, online classes, and altered academic calendars. Adding a year-back to this creates irreversible mental health consequences.
3. Career Path Blockade
With a forced academic gap:
Students miss on-campus placements and competitive exams such as GATE, GRE, CAT, etc., which often require continuous enrollment.
Internships and industrial trainings tied to final year eligibility are missed or delayed.

I'm facing year back. They should've informed about it to the students before clearly. If I got the yearback I would have to migrate to a different scheme. It's not fair that our seniors didn't have the yearback, while we are made to suffer this. This destroys my engineering life. Please take into consideration
