The VTU rule: 2022 scheme
Under the VTU 2022 scheme, a first-year student whose failed (F/DX) courses in Semesters 1 and 2 add up to more than 16 credits cannot enter the 3rd semester (year back). From the 3rd semester on, students move ahead regardless of how many F grades they have. Admission to the 7th semester requires that every 1st and 2nd semester course has been passed.
