What happens when one gets a year back at VTU? Do I have to rewrite all the exams from that year again?

I have a few friends who graduated from VTU and here are their insights about this.

• As per VTU rules, any year, you can carry 4 backs of the previous year into the next year.
• You need to clear all 4 backs from the previous year in the next year. You can carry 4 backs from the current year again to the next year. This circle goes on until you reach your final year. 
• If you fail to clear your backs in some years’ time, you will be considered as NFFTE (not fit for technical education) by VTU.
• If you have 5 subjects back then you will need to clear at least one subject and join next year. You will have the chance to clear all subjects that year and join as a fresh entry next year without any backlogs for the second year. 
• But try to clear all your subjects every year. If you can manage to clear your labs with 95% and get first-class in theory, you will get an aggregate of distinction. 
• Try to score well in your internals. If you can score 22+ in your internals, there is a good chance that you will be able to get first-class. 
• Make sure that your internal score doesn’t go below 15. If you score below 15 in internals, you may end up failing the subject, even if you score the passing mark, i.e. 35 in external. 

Now, if you are opting for revaluation, you can get permission for attending the classes until you get the revaluation result by applying to the college administration. You may need to pay some extra fee for that. 

If you have good aggregate and decent logical reasoning and communication skills then you can get a good job via campus placement after completing your degree.
