However, the final year subjects are easier compared to the rest of the year engineering subjects. You can clear the subjects easily if you put in a little bit of effort.

VTU has a semester system. In the final year, there are two semesters. If you fail in a subject in 7th semester, you will get a chance to clear it in the final semester, i.e. 8th semester. In each semester examination, VTU conducts all semester subjects. If you fail in a subject in the 8th semester, you won’t get your degree, until you clear it. 

But final year subjects are much easier compared to the rest of the years, at VTU. You can clear the final year subjects easily with a bit of effort.
