The AKTU Grace marks procedure varies depending on the academic year and courses. 

• Students of B.Tech, B.Pharm, BFAD, BFA, BHMCT, MCA, MCA(I), MBA, MBA(I), B.Arch who were admitted under the CBCS system from session 2016-17, can get a maximum of 7 grace marks per year. If you are an M.Tech, M.Pharm, or M.Arch student admitted under the same academic session, you can get a maximum of 5 grace marks. 
• Students who took admission to B.Tech, MBA, MBA (I), in the academic session 2018-19, can get a maximum of 10 grace marks per year. B.VOC and M.Tech (I) students of 2019-20 sessions can get a maximum grace mark of 3 and 7 per year, respectively. 
• B.Pharm and M.Pharm students admitted under PCI ordinance from session 2019-20, can get 7 and 5 grace marks per year respectively. 

To get the grace marks, students need to have an SGPA greater than the minimum passing marks.

AKTU follows an absolute grading system in which each semester result is converted into Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA). The Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA) is calculated each year. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated after the end semester of the program. 

SGPA - 

SGPA (Si) = (Ci * Gi)/Ci 

It is the ratio of the product of the number of credits with the grade points scored by the students in all the courses taken by them and the sum of the courses undergone by them. 

Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade points scored by the student. 

YGPA - 

Yearly grade point average is calculated at the end of each year.

YGPA =SGPA(odd)*Ci(odd)+SGPA(even)*Ci(even)/(Ci(odd)+Ci(even))

CGPA - 

CGPA is calculated in the same way by taking into account all the courses taken by a student throughout the semesters of a particular program. 

CGPA =(Ci*Si)/Ci

Here, Ci is the total number of credits in the ith semester and Si is the SGPA of the ith semester. 

Scoring decent marks in 1st year at AKTU UPTU isn’t too difficult. Attending lectures regularly and studying a few hours each day can easily get you good grades. 

The 1st year syllabus is almost the same for all branches. The subjects covered are related to basic engineering and aren’t too difficult. You will be studying basic, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computer, etc. Most of the topics, you would have covered in your 12th itself. Although the syllabus of maths will be slightly different. 

If you have a backlog in a semester, you need to fill out a carryover form and retake the examination for that subject with your juniors. For odd semester subjects, you need to appear in the next odd semester and for even semester subjects, you need to appear in the next even semester. 

After you clear the backlog, AKTU will issue a new marksheet. The final result will show pass. 

If you have your transfer certificate, you don’t need to submit your original marksheet. But you need to bring your marksheet during counseling for verification. If you don’t have your transfer certificate yet, you will need to submit your original marksheet. You can collect it once you submit your TC.
