Petition to Address Year Back 2022 & 2023 batch (2025-2026 Academic year)

Cancel year back

Remove year back

Pls cancel the year back system

Cancel the year back

Please consider promoting the 22–23 batch without a year back. Many students have faced challenges beyond their control during that academic period.It would be more fair to assess the 22–23 batch with leniency due to academic disruptions and mental health challenges many faced during that time. A year back could severely affect students' careers and morale. Alternative academic solutions should be explored for the 22–23 batch.

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:

Remove year back for the students who are entering 4th year

Pls

Remove year back

To The Honorable Vice-Chancellor, APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU), Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Subject: Request for reconsideration and exemption from the yearback system for affected students due to academic and administrative challenges. Respected Sir/Madam, 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 faced two consecutive academic years of online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These students were deprived of proper in-person classes during their foundational semesters (S1–S4), leading to severe gaps in understanding key subjects. This 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

Its unfair to conduct Yeatback system for S6 students for now... And now it will affect a large number of students professional career and they will face hard times in their academic journey through this year back implementation, So i kindly request KTU to cancel the Year back system for welfare and students smooth career.

Yearback system may cause trouble for so many students and it may threaten their career

We kindly request KTU to reconsider the year-back system, as it deeply affects the mental health of students who are already struggling academically. This system puts immense pressure on students, often leading to stress, anxiety, and a loss of motivation. Instead of helping students improve, it can damage their confidence and delay their future opportunities. We believe in second chances and support systems—not setbacks. Please consider an alternative approach that supports learning without harming mental health.
