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

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

Remove yearback

Should be removed

Respected authority of A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Technological University, I hope this emall finds you well. My name is Aysha febina, 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 our semester, including myself. The "year back" policy mandates that students with Insufficient credits from the first four semesters and first two semesters (below 47,21) 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 exams. 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 circumstances. 3. Establish a transparent and accessible appea

Im part of the 2022/2023 batch, and I genuinely hope the authorities will rethink the year back policy. A lot of us have been through tough times—academically and personally—and being pushed back another year feels really discouraging. We just want a fair chance to move forward without losing more time. Please consider supporting us.

No 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.

Abolish for 2022-2026 batch Year back

Cancel the yearback system

⸻ 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 educat
