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

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.

Complaining against "year back"
Ashwin
Subject: Complaint Regarding "Year Back" Regulation Details and Request for Consideration Respected ABDUL KALAM TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY , I hope this email finds you well. My name is Ashwin r , and I am writing to express my concerns regarding the "year back" regulation enforced by Kerala Technological University (KTU), which profoundly affects students currently in their sixth semester, including myself. The "year back" policy mandates that students with insufficient credits from the first four semesters (below 47) face the severe consequence of repeating a year or being transferred to another university. This regulation has ignited significant distress among students and has underscored several pressing issues that require immediate attention and resolution. While acknowledging the importance of maintaining academic standards, the current application of this regulation appears to overlook the individual circumstances and challenges that students may confront throughout their academic Journey. Many students, myself Included, have encountered unforeseen obstacles or personal setbacks that have hindered our ability to fulfill the credit requirements within the stipulated timeframe. These challenges encompass a spectrum ranging from health Issues to financial constraints and difficulties on less working days and no consideration in supplementary exarns. In light of these concerns, I urge the university administration to reconsider its stance on the "year back" regulation and to extend a lifeline to students who find themselves in such precarious circumstances. Specifically, I Implore the university to undertake the following actions: 1. Provide additional support and guidance to assist students In meeting the credit requirements and overcoming academic challenges. 2. Implement flexible measures, such as supplementary assessments or alternative credit-earning opportunities, to accommodate students facing extenuating circu
