Overview

• The policy allows students from the 2024-25 academic year who failed winter 2024 or summer 2025 exams to be provisionally promoted to the next academic year upon submitting a formal undertaking.
• Provisional admission hinges on clearing outstanding backlogs by the winter 2025-26 exams, and failure to meet this deadline will result in automatic cancellation without fee refunds.
• Eligible students can progress based on their year of failure—first-year backlog holders enter the fifth semester, second-year the seventh, and third-year the ninth.
• The university has described the measure as an exceptional, non-precedential concession limited to the 2025-26 year and said courses under AICTE and NMC will follow those bodies’ guidelines.
• Student organisations including NSUI welcomed the decision as a victory after three months of protests over exam-pattern changes and assessment grievances.
