RTU to extend revaluation for M Tech exam too

Updated on: Monday, July 18, 2011

From the academic session 2011-12, M Tech students in colleges affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University (RTU) can apply for re-evaluation in all branches of engineering. The decision was taken at an academic council meeting held on July 16.

This will allow students to apply for re-evaluation in case they are not satisfied with marks. "The university administration felt the need for re-evaluation as we have this provision at B-Tech level," said RP Yadav, vice-chancellor, RTU.

The council also decided to give a "mercy chance" to re-appear in the failed papers for those appearing for B Tech final exam. "The mercy chance will benefit thousands of students who could not clear the exams due to backlog in one or more subjects," said Yadav.

Sources said the mercy chance has been given as many a times the university was found at fault while preparing the results.

The council also approved the syllabi of new M Tech programmes in nano technology and transportation engineering. Both the branches have been introduced at RTU's Kota campus from this year. Considering the problem in finding appropriate books on each subject, the council has issued a list of prescribed books for each branch. Similarly, colleges have been asked to make these books available in libraries.

The university has come-up with rules and regulations for PhD programmes. So far, it has been following Rajasthan University's rules and regulations. The new rules will be uploaded on university website.
In another decision which could help poor students, the university has deferred check-point scheme, which prevents students' promotion to third year in case of pending backlogs of first year.

Meanwhile, the university has started counselling for engineering colleges. The counselling will last till July 30. "RTU has made several nodal agencies where students can submit their OMR sheets," said Yadav. Students have to fill college code and branch code in the OMR sheet.
