VTU had recently cancelled the year back system. Does it apply for CBCS students too?
VTU hasn’t canceled the year-back system. You will still get a year back if you get more than four backlogs in a year. But having backlogs previous to the previous year won’t result in a year-back. The rules are as follows.
- Students who have less than four backlogs in the first two semesters are eligible for the second year.
- Students who have less than four backlogs in the four semesters of the first year and second year are eligible to move to the third year.
- Students who have the required credits for first year and don’t have more than four backlogs in four semesters of second and third year are eligible for fourth year.
So, you will still get a year-back, if you have more than four backlogs in an academic year.
How can I get a migration certificate from VTU? What are the details and signatures required on the form?
According to the information I got online, if your college is affiliated then you just have to fill the migration application form that is provided on the VTU website and then fill in all the details.
In the last line forwarded to VTU registrar ”...this is to certify…” you can either ask your new college academic person to fill it.
Or ask your college a bonafide certificate or study certificate and pin that with the application form alongwith the e-payment SBI fee receipt.
Get your degree certificate / provisional degree certificate attested from any gazetted officer by showing them the original copy.
Then post the whole document by speed post to the address mentioned on the website of VTU that is to the registrar.
After receiving your post they will transfer the migration certificate to your new college.
Which university is best, VTU or Anna University?
This question is extremely challenging to address. However, by examining a few statistics, you can determine which university is superior.
First and foremost, both of these institutions are Technical Universities for their respective states. If VTU is the Technical University of Karnataka, Anna is the Technical University of Tamil Nadu. This means that all engineering institutions in the state (colleges and not deemed or private universities) are affiliated with these Universities (with very few exceptions). In 1978, Anna University in Chennai was established as a separate university. Anna University was founded 44 years ago. VTU was founded in 1998 as a full-fledged technical university, and it is now 24 years old.
When it comes to student satisfaction at both of these universities, Anna University receives more positive feedback than VTU. In addition, in terms of university controversies and irregularities, VTU has had many problems, corruption, chaos, and friction in the last decade, whereas Anna University has been more peaceful, regular, and flawless in recent times. Anna University is the only technical university in India that has awarded the most PhDs, whereas VTU Ph.D. is a never-ending process due to the University's extreme irregularities. Anna University has some disadvantages, but it is slightly better than VTU.
Is it true that SJCE Mysore being converted to JSS science and technological university has degraded the value of the college since the degree is not under VTU?
SJCE conversion to JSS has not degraded the value of the course or the degree. These are said to be rumors spread by rival institutions. Let me share some of the facts which might clear your views regarding the institution.
- The placements are not affected as notable companies keep on visiting the campus. SJCE has maintained a good relationship with the companies
- The institute sets its own syllabus, which is industry-oriented unlike that of VTU which is not usually updated.
- SJCE is known for its brand, the name is not removed from the degrees and is often mentioned by recruiters in India and abroad.
- The degree programs are accredited by NBA and the degree awarded by the University is recognized by countries that have signed the Washington accord. So, while applying for PG in other countries, your degree has its value.
- It follows the OBE system and has 5 events per subject which are similar to the model followed by foreign universities, unlike VTU who still follows the age-old internals concept.
It is suggested that you do not go by rumors spread by rival institutions. You can definitely put your trust in SJCE, as it stands strong as one of the notable educational institutions in Karnataka.
Why is VTU called the worst university?
Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is not considered the worst university but surely has many flaws. These include the following:
- The syllabus is more than a decade old and the rate at which technology and science are growing, VTU is failing to catch up.
- The evaluation process is very poor. There is a very high chance that your marks will increase every time you apply for revaluation.
- VTU is one of the largest universities in India with 212 colleges affiliated with it. Most of the colleges have below-average laboratories, campus facilities, research centers, and poor placements.
- Students graduating from these institutes score less marks and thus lose placement opportunities.
- VTU’s standard of faculty is really low.
One of the things that bother aspirants is the reservation system. If you are an SC/ST belonging to the state of Karnataka then you have no problem in getting a good college with little effort through CET. If you are a general candidate then everything depends on your work.
Can we change the internal marks of a failed subject at VTU?
Yes, you can change internal marks if you are writing the back paper in the next semester’s exams. Internal marks are sent to VTU before the results are declared and the college displays the marks allotted to be cross-checked for any errors before sending the finalized marks.
Students can take up the internals and increase the marks before appearing for a second attempt.
But if you are applying for external revaluation and want some increase in internal marks, that is not possible.
While choosing an engineering college in karnataka shall I go for autonomous or VTU?
If you are getting admission into a reputed college, it’s better to choose autonomous rather than VTU The syllabus and the academic calendar are made by the college. The course structure is flexible enough for pursuing internships and other courses.
VTU syllabus is old and outdated. The coursework also doesn’t leave much time for doing anything other than academics.
Is REVA University better than VTU?
