In MAKAUT semester exams, will I get marks if I write rubbish or just copy the question in the answer paper?

KR

No, there isn't any university that accepts rubbish answers and neither does MAKAUT give marks if you write poor answers in your semester exams.

My friend also had the same notion and she gave her exams at MAKAUT ver carelessly filling the blank spaces with poor content almost irrelevant to the questions. She ended up failing in that particular subject which further confirmed that MAKAUT does not accept irrelevant answers. However, it's recommended to attempt all questions and write anything vaguely related to the question because sometimes the questions come to be wrong and you end up getting marks just for attempting. 

So you need to denounce the mindset that writing anything in the MAKAUT exams is acceptable and will get you marks nevertheless.

Is there any chance of getting a year back in MAKAUT?

AR

MAKAUT recently removed the concept of year back so you can't get a year back in MAKAUT. Students are required to clear the backs in all the subjects which they were not able to pass to get their degree irrespective of the number of attempts it takes. 

So, if you fail an exam in the last year, you'll have to wait 6 more months to take the exam in case you were not able to clear special exams for the 7th and 8th sem which are usually conducted to save time for students. Similarly, you will have to wait for a year if the same happens in the 8th sem re-exam.

However, you can rest your worries in place as the examiners check last year's papers very leniently and even give grace marks in the last 2-semester re-exams.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at MAKAUT?

ra
rimjhim arora Posted On : February 2nd, 2024

From my personal experience of studying B.Tech at MAKAUT, here are some tips for freshers at this college- 

  1. The curriculum at MAKAUT is age old, and you’ll be only taught the basics. So instead of just focusing on the syllabus, spend time learning online courses from platforms like Coursera and Edx, and obtain certifications in important areas. 
  2. Give utmost importance to active programming, projects and real work.
  3. Do not depend upon your college for placements. Instead, upskill yourself through internships, research work, competitive programming competitions, hackathons, conferences, etc. 
  4. Work hard from day 1, so that you can secure a good college for your higher studies (if you want to pursue MS, Phd, MBA, etc.) Good colleges do not necessarily mean IITs or IIMs. Instead, it means that the college gives you ample facilities and opportunities to grow in your field.
  5. Take good care of your physical and mental health. You’ll be disappointed with a lot of things on campus, but make it a point to never give up.
  6. Aptitude is important, but more important are technical skills. Your hiring company will seek employees who have a grasp of data analytics, machine learning, AI, natural language processing, etc. 
  7. Whichever branch you study, give importance to mathematics and statistics, data-structures and algorithms. 

These are some tips from my end. I hope you follow them and have a memorable time at MAKAUT.

Is there a good positive result of PPS in MAKAUT (WBUT)?

PS
Pradipta Sinha Posted On : June 22nd, 2023
Studied at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University Of Technology (MAKAUT)

No, there aren't any good results of PPS in MAKAUT and that being said, I would recommend you to go for PPR(Post Publication Review) instead. In PPS(Post Publication Scrutiny) only your marks are recalculated to check for any errors and there are very less chances of calculation errors as the total is verified in 2–3 levels of the checking process.

However, in the case of PPR, all your answers are rechecked. Hence. The chances of getting your marks increased are higher in the case of PPR than in PPS. In fact, many students who fail the exams, apply for PPR and surprisingly enough, they pass after PPR.

How is the difficulty level of the MAKAUT semester question paper?

SB
Sushmita Banerjee Posted On : June 26th, 2023
B.Tech from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University Of Technology

Honestly speaking, the level of semester exams at MAKAUT is so easy that the majority of the students just study the night before and manage to score an 8 CGPA. Many of you will not like my answer but this is my personal experience. 

The strategy adopted by my friends at MAKAUT is:

  • Check the syllabus the night before and check the total marks from each chapter based on the previous year's papers
  • Prioritize the chapters that carry more marks. Prepare for the long answers first.

After adopting this strategy, my friend was able to easily secure an 8 CGPA. So we can say that the level of difficulty is moderate and just clarification of basic concepts can get you an 8+ CGPA at MAKAUT. 

On average, the difficulty level of semester exams at MAKAUT is 3 out of 5.

How is the MAKAUT in-house campus and hostel?

PS
Pradipta Sinha Posted On : June 22nd, 2023
Studied at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University Of Technology (MAKAUT)

MAKAUT's in-house campus is an affordable government technical college that has only IT and CSE for the engineering branch. Earlier I had this preconceived notion that government colleges are better than private ones which later proved to be wrong once I got to know about MAKAUT in-campus college. However, it is true that your skills and dedication matter more than the institute that being said, here are a few pros and cons of the institute to help you make a wise decision

Pros

  • The institute charges very reasonable fees around ?70,300 for the first year and the hostel charges are also very moderate.
  • There are no on-campus events, fests, or clubs meaning more free time for coding and acquiring other skills.
  • The workload is very light and some subjects don't even have classes. 
  • Getting good grades here is very easy and sometimes getting a 9+ CGPA is possible without studying much. 
  • The institute boasts of a beautiful infrastructure and facilities such as libraries, wifi, and shops inside the campus.

Cons

  • The campus life is dull and very inactive as there are no fests, events activities, and clubs to make the ambiance dynamic. 
  • The placement scenario is average and internships offered have a low pay scale. If you have completed an internship you might get placed with a package ranging between 4-10 LPA which is very low in comparison to institutes like IEM or Heritage and Techno India.
  • The institute does not prepare you for higher studies as the academic environment here is pathetic and teachers give free marks in internals. 

If you have no financial constraints IEM or Heritage are better options else KGEC and MAKAUT in-house campus are the only options with low fees.

How tough is it to score a CGPA of over 8 in your first year at the MAKAUT?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : June 26th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

The level of difficulty of the first-year exams at MAKAUT depends on your college largely. MAKAUT assigns a lot of marks on internals and lab papers. These marks are determined by the individual departments. 

A friend shared her experience and told me that she didn't study initially and got 7.63 in 1st semester. She started studying the next semester and after that, she never scored less than 8. In fact, in the 5th,6th, and 7th semesters, she scored 9. 

What she concluded was that getting an 8+ CGPA at MAKAUT is rather easy and all you need is clarity of basic concepts and familiarity with the pattern of questions that come. You can determine roughly how much you need to score in every paper to get an 8 CGPA. 

Getting good grades is certainly helpful but grades alone cannot shape your career. You need to acquire skills and knowledge to meet industry demands.

Does WBUT (MAKAUT) send transcripts to WES? WES changed its rules this year and they’re not accepting transcripts unless it’s sent by the university itself.

AR

My friend faced a similar issue when she sent her transcripts to WES and right then the rules changed. She lost all hope but soon the transcripts were being sent to the university. Illogically enough, students had to send each document as a separate courier and not together. After waiting for a very long time, her transcripts finally made it to WES on time. Fortunately, MAKAUT sends it through DHL Express, and all her efforts paid off in the end.

How is CSE at MAKAUT?

AS
Arka Sinha Posted On : June 23rd, 2023
B.Tech from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University Of Technology (MAKAUT)

No, CSE at MAKAUT is not considered anywhere near good given its obsolete curriculum and pedagogy. The subjects taught have no relevance in today’s age and do not match the industry's needs. The situation of practical labs is pathetic and the infrastructure of the institute is deteriorating day by day. 

The marking system of the exams conducted here does nothing to evaluate your knowledge of intellect. It just judges your capability to fill the maximum number of pages you can. 

Ultimately, it’s the students that make the college more than anything so your college experience here will depend on your batchmates. Nothing can stop you from achieving great heights if you are determined to work hard and succeed.
