:: Rules for Carry over paper in UPTU ::

What are credits?

When you will check your result, you will see that there is a 5th column for credits. Each subject carries a certain value of credits and different subjects have different credits. Practical exams also carries credit.

How credits are given?

• If a student secures minimum passing marks ( 30 out of 100, 15 out 50), the student is allotted full credits in that particular subject.
• If a student fails to secure minimum passing marks in any particular subject, the student is provided with Zero  Credits.

So a student either gets full credits or no credits.

At the bottom of your result you will see a result status. What does it means?

• PASS : If a student gets full credits in all the subjects including theory and practical,which means he have scored more than 30 and 15, in 100 and 50 marks exam respectively, then the student is declared as Pass.
• PCP : Pass with carry papers. This status is allocated when a student have less than 4 carryovers in theory and less than 2 carryover in practical exams. In this case, student is allowed to be promoted to next year. Also the student must have minimum of 24 or more credits in theory subjects and minimum of 8 credits in practical subjects. Credits of GP (General Proficiency) will not be counted in the above calculation.
• PCP- A : This status is provisional and is given to those students who have carryover. .

What is internal back?

Each semester carries 1000 marks out of which 500 marks are in the hands of college authority. These marks are given on the basis of your performance in college sessional marks. Different subjects carries different marks. If a student gets an internal back but has scored enough marks in external exam, then it will not be counted as carryover and his status will be termed as pass. For example: A subject of total 150 marks have 100 marks in external exams and 50 marks in internal exams. For getting pass status, he needs to score total 45 marks. If a student gets 10 marks in internal exams ( fail ) but secures 35 marks in external, he scores total of 45 marks thus getting the pass status.

Grace marks rule:

According to this rule, a student will be given at most 10 grace marks in a subject.

For Example: If a student is having back in three subjects- Subject 1 back by 7 marks , Subject 2 back by 2 mark., Subject 3 back by 1 mark. then he will be awarded grace marks in all subjects because now there is provision of awarding at most 10 marks (new rule) than of 5 marks (old rule).

How can you clear your back?
