AKTU: 5 Answered Questions

How many days will it take to refund my registration fee for UPSEE/AKTU counseling?

Devesh ChaudharyEngineer at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited

The registration fee is returned usually after the 5th round. If you are facing some problems and still haven't received a refund, contact them via mail. Usually, two email ids are mentioned so it's recommended you contact both.

Write down the issue you are facing along with some of your basic details like Admission Number, Roll No., DOB, father's name, etc. After a wait of 2 to 3 days, your counseling fees will have been refunded successfully in the same account with which you paid the registration fees. You only need to remember to send the mail after the 5th round only.

If I apply for a fee waiver seat in aktu and the 5% fee waiver seats get occupied then will I be treated as a general candidate or I will be out of counselling?

Deep KushwahaB.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from APJ Abdul Kalam University

Fee Waiver or FW seats are different from regular ones. You will have to give higher priority to seats with the FW option to opt for it.

The simple procedure to apply for TFW seats is as follows:

The initial pages of the counseling form show the option ‘Will you opt for TFW seats?’. Tick it.
Now you need to fill in the choices that prioritize TFW mentioned options.

This part is a bit tricky so I have used an example to make you understand better-

If you want CS>>EC in IET>>BIET>>KNIT then your choice should be filled in this manner:

IET- CS(FW)
BIET- CS (FW)
KNIT- CS(FW)
IET- EC(FW)
BIET- EC(FW)
KNIT- EC(FW)
IET- CS
BIET- CS
KNIT- CS
IET- EC
BIET- EC
KNIT- EC.

Placing your priorities in this manner will surely get you a fee-waiver seat.

How will I get fee refund that I deposit for UPTU (AKTU) Counseling?

Prerna VijayeniMA in Literature,University of Delhi

The process to get your counseling fees back is quite simple. Private colleges deduct 50% of fees, college maintenance charges, and library charges. But in the case of government colleges, no such issue is there.

What are the consequences of not opting for an open elective course from NPTEL in AKTU?

Abhay SinghB.Tech. from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (Graduated 2019)

Not opting for an open elective course from NPTEL in AKTU does not have any direct bad impact on your results unless you are in the final semester.

If you are a final semester student it becomes necessary to enlist in NCER(non-conventional energy resources). Submit your assignments timely and pass the final exam. In case you fail to do so, your result will have a COP and you will be required to give a back paper.

I’d recommend students in all semesters enroll in elective subjects of their choice. Completion of the course will give them a certificate from NPTEL which has enough value.

My friend is joining college with a fee waiver seat. How much fee he has to pay in aktu college?

Neeraj TiwaryStudied Computer Science (Graduated 2017)

The purpose of FW or Fee-Waiver seats is to let financially weak people pursue their dreams. AKTU has 4-5 seats for the same in every branch of engineering colleges.

The average fee of an AKTU-affiliated engineering college is around INR 1,35,000. This includes Exam fees, Training & Placement, Degree, Student Development services, etc. But for a student opting for a Fee-Waiver seat, the complete amount of INR 90,000 (as tuition fees) will be waived. This amount will be paid by the government.

The remaining fee that needs to be paid by an FW student is around 20-30k per year. Your college will let you know the exact amount as it varies from college to college.
