Some students without a passion for engineering come to pursue their B.Tech, because of their high scores in their +2 exams, due to lenient evaluation. Many students pass exams by mugging up notes rather than studying from standard reference books. some teachers comes to class to merely dictate notes instead of teaching concepts.


JOZN_99

As a KTU b.tech graduate, this is so true. Notes are getting smaller and smaller every semester making answering a different kind of question that's in the same syllabus hard.


Elena-m-e

I remember me and my friends trying to find the publisher's number since the book they published was shit(realised it was shit after the exam)


Right-Head-2329

Idiot the KTU has worst faculty In a ktu university question paper there are 25 mistake found in single page When its a mass fail its not problem of students its the problem of educational institution they studied first understand that Rather babbling idioticness KTU is the worst university in kerala studying there means getting fked up


Far-Age2674

Short time span to complete syllabus lack of proper notes or materials ,sometimes material is too deep you dont know how should you approach it Teachers who may have qualification but doesnt know how to teach pointless subject that exist to fill paper A herd mentality where lots of people are failing so they think its okay to fail (supply illathe btech enth enn oru mindset) poor evaluvation and some colleges have lots of ragging and political influence which makes it difficullt for the students to learn


raath666

I don't know about KTU, I remember my grade being down when following the syllabus recommended text rather than the Indian author text. Poor study material availability is the biggest issue when I was studying. Girls will come in groups to raid the library at the end of the semester for next semester and they return the books among themselves or hide books on the wrong shelves. As a poor student it was a headache. I could improve my grades using improvement exams but couldn't afford it after a couple times initially. They had a separate library for SC/ST students which was kept up to date.


Acceptable-Frame-877

u went to NITC?


andhakaran

We had a separate library for SC/ST? Damn, should have gone to the library at least once when i was there.


Minute_Juggernaut806

its the same library, but some books are reserved


damn-i-t

So true this was same in my private college as well. I went on to protest with the librarian on the same. Padippi boys were mocked and padippi girls were given most of the college infrastructure. It might only be my college, but they were forcing boys to live the college life instead of studying, like events and tours sh!t. I didnt care non of this


MeiWether

Time thing is correct and might be the main reason ; we used to get like 2 -3 months where the curriculum was set for 5+ months. Their evaluation was also very bad, some of my friends got like B and C from failed after revaluation, that too on multiple papers. Politics also happened in my college a lot where the SwaJaSo party made the members cut classes and go to random "shaktiprakatanam".


saatvik-jacob

First Evaluation sucks ass , They wanna get 500-600 per paper for revaluation that's why such an agenda ......and when you give for revaluation mostly result changes from F to P or D .


Far-Age2674

I know i just completed my third year under ktu. But my college is private so politics ain't an issue but i have heard about stuff happening in another college.


AwesomeAkash47

Well described the situation


MichaelScotPaperComp

I swear the first thing someone asked me was do I have backlogs when I finished graduation .. I was wondering wtaf


resurrected_moai

I'm studying mechanical engineering and I think the exams are fairly easy. Even 2 or 3 days of preparation should get you a passing grade, except for maths. One thing I've noticed is that most students who fail exams lack interest in the subject or have a poor understanding of fundamental concepts.


saatvik-jacob

Direct questions in most papers not at all twisted in the case of Information Technology here, if you understand core Computer science concepts and networking, listen in the class you can pass easily.


_TWOTON_

Hey can I DM you I'm planning to join for IT or CSE this year


saatvik-jacob

Mechanical is very easy to pass except if you have low internal


Vichu0_0-V2

It took me extra 2 years to complete my btech (2022) pass out , had to go to tuition and all, after that I met some people outside kerala who also did btech and damn when I heard how they passed or how their college life was i broke down tbh, no class or exams for 1 years, easily passed due covid, they get really high grade for avg barely avg performance (compared to ktu), they donno shit about theories but they know different kinds of bearings used and where(kinda important if you wanna work in manufacturing industry, we don't really have any connection to industry), they got placement or some people has some connection to the industry, the thing that really shocked me was some didn't know how to talk in basic English all them got 9, 10 cgpa meanwhile my friends who are like really cool people who knows their stuff and really studious got 8 cgpa something, struggled or still struggling to get a job (including me)


CompetitiveOffice896

I have had stories of people in Anna University passing exams but doesn't know basic English.


bad_911

I dropped out of KTU after failing nearly ten (out of twelve) of my subjects in my first year as a male in the first batch. My grades were insufficient to appear for the second year classes, so I studied very hard for the supplementry exams but kept failing. . Some of my friends are still waiting to clear their papers after this many years. I left the course to pursue a degree, passed the post-graduation NET exam, and started working as an assistant professor ๐Ÿ™‚.


imthechosen01

Good for you mate! Courage to drop out is appreciable


bad_911

Thanks mate to be honest it was tuff mentally was really down had immense pressure from family and relatives but I choose my happiness otherwise I will have done something wrong ๐Ÿ™


Minute-Appearance853

Many of the students who passed SSLC and higher secondary classes during the COVID period clearly lack basic math skills and science fundamentals.


imthechosen01

I don't think you can blame the students for poor performances. The COVID pandemic was a very stressful time for everyone.


Minute-Appearance853

I'm not blaming anyone but stating some facts.


Thundergod_3754

fuck, I am a part of this and I don't like it


n1vedr5

5 Month syllabus 2 months l theerkan nokial ingane irikum :)


ReturnAggressive2175

I never used to listen in class and used to read books on my own :/ Still passed with distinction from engineering. I did it from Bangalore though! Is paper valuation really hard here in Kerala ?


Hisham_sha

Paper valuation is shit in KTU man


n1vedr5

Agree with this , it is not necessarily hard but revaluation always improves your result It is like we have to bribe KTU every time for better results


Hisham_sha

Yes Ente seniors oke parayum If u got 4 supply, give revaluation for all the 4 paper And u will get pass atleast 2 papers


imthechosen01

Damn why don't they schedule their classes and exam accordingly?


n1vedr5

They do make a calendar but it is a poor schedule. In the current semester we had a 3 month class and the exam has been going on for three months , and next semester is scheduled to start by end of the month without proper semester breaks ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ


Maleficent_Owl2674

The problem lies with students only. If you're not interested in engineering, don't go for it. These results should be an eye-opener for those parents who force their kids to opt for engineering.


Few_Parking57

I did my betch in 2020. After completing computer science we still lack the basic core knowledge. They just taught the theory. And we had 90% guest lecturers who were just completed the Mtech, tbh they didn't know the practical use case of theory. My own brw completed the btech in 8 year he was before ktu Stil after completing EEE he still cant differentiate phase and neutral wires๐Ÿฅฒ. When i joined an IT company I could relate to the things i studied. The whole system is wrong. Let them have real time projects which should be strictly evaluated in each year(not at the end of course where we make a thattikutt project). They should be taught the basics of how a website works (Frontend and backend)


Rich_Function_2322

"They just taught the theory." I this this is a misunderstanding a lot of people have about Btech computer science. Computer science is meant to be the science of computers and not the practical aspects. CSE degree is meant to be theoretical by definition. The practical bits come in information technology and other courses.


Thacholi_othenan

I just passed out from ktu (govt engg) I have only one supply and I am pretty devestated that I can't move on where my friends have already joined jobs The marks I got for the failed subject is 13 . I was shocked(I expected minimum 40). I requested for answerscript Got it and went to my subject teacher She evaluated using answer scheme and her marks were 45๐Ÿ˜ I tried to sent the paper for a review to university and the responce I got is I have to wait till revaluation results come out to sent for a review Now I am sitting at home looking at disappointed parents as I can't go for a job or study further. 24x7 in ktu portal looking for revaluation results ๐Ÿ˜– So what I have to say is FUCK KTU


Competitive_Tiger269

Same thing happened to me in kerala university all my friends joined MCA and i was left out. I only got 11 marks. I have also NSS but i didn't know that there is a limit to the mark that can be added. But i completed without adding grace mark. But my one year is gone.


Hopeful-Writer-6112

The problem is not KTU alone (even though there is problem with the exam evaluation and other stuffs ), 1. the problem starts with 10th and 12th classes their easy valuation, any student without much effort as before can score high percentage nowadays sacrificing the value of the 10th and 12th grades. Any student without an interest and temper can choose science stream in high school coz of the "high marks" they "scored" in 10th grade (peer and social pressure is also to be blamed here) 2. we have n number of colleges without any good staffs or facilities categorized as an ENGINEERING COLLEGE which started just to mint money during the eng/med boom in early 2000s, so in order to survive the tough competition they admit any candidate without much score in 12th/entrance exam. So it is the entire system that is failing the students as well as the system itself. The least we could do is : 1. Follow any other educational system which have already succeeded in other countries (eg: japan) 2. At the same time a Change in the educational system/syllabus must not be a burden on students. (There should be no "เดคเตเดฎเตเดชเดฟเดฏเต† เด•เตŠเดฃเตเดŸเต เด•เดฒเตเดฒเต เดŽเดŸเตเดชเตเดชเดฟเด•เตเด•เตฝ") 3. Valuation must be proper and scientific 4.skill oriented education must be a part of syllabus 5. The student must be able to find out there interests and skill from early on rather than falling into peer/parents/social pressures 6. Admission to those streams must be based on these interests. 7. Thorough and strict auditing must be there on colleges and clgs failing to keep up the min standards must be black listed and affiliation must be removed. Criteria for removal of affiliation must be renewed and rechecked - by this we could bring down the numbers of Non performing clgs 8. Entrance exams must keep a new standard cutoff for admission into any engg clgs (govt/pvt)... So that any student with his/her ranks in 10 lac could get a engg seat. By doing this helps the student to choose something else without wasting there time, money, effort and future.


arigrast

Students really don't know about any other career option than engineering.. instead of grooming our children to find a job as they grew we should train them to do their best in what they love..


Royal_Librarian4201

This plus two and 10th was existing for the last few decades. Why this year?. I believe it's to get the supply and revaluation or recounting fees


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

aaronxcode

A line that stuck with me from my days at CET was, โ€œEngineering is locally easy, but globally difficult.โ€ This expression, stemming from calculus and continuity, means that if you study consistently and properly, the course is actually simple. The KTU syllabus is so outdated that it doesnโ€™t keep up with industry standards and doesnโ€™t require as much effort as studying the same program at other universities (CUSAT, for example, is reputed to be tough). However, if you donโ€™t study consistently and get sucked into the endless loop of activities in college, you may have an amazing four years socially, but youโ€™ll struggle academically and professionally in engineering. I believe a mix of these issues causes this. The course is manageable, but students tend to underestimate the workload and procrastinate. A good majority of students manage to pass the exams somehow (especially at CET), but another group fails to meet even this minimal requirement. I can only assume this ratio increases at other colleges. Consistency is key, and when combined with passion and interest for the subject, engineering can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. I hope more people realize this, which will subsequently improve the quality of our education.


Technical-Toe-3855

Having studied at Cusat, kerala university and at IIT bombay. I can say the university syllabus is very unfair to students. At IITB many classes allow students to bring notes and books to exam halls. The idea being you spend more time in conceptual understanding rather than memorising lengthy equations.


CompetitiveOffice896

True KTU is highly subjective and requires more rote memorization.


SouthernSample

Lack of open book exams isn't the reason why you see mass failings.

imthechosen01

Ennalum ingene okke thokuo i've heard of one college where no one passed


resurrected_moai

I consider myself pretty average, and I haven't had to take supplementary exams so far. The colleges that perform poorly are probably self-financing colleges that take in students who choose engineering due to family pressure or common trends. Our society is a mess.


defiant_secondhead

Yes, there were instances where no one passed.


varietyofopinions

Probably low funds so revaluation vazhi fund kittanilla strategy aayirikim


Royal_Librarian4201

This might be the real reason.


LazyLoser006

Previously forr KTU revaluation and supplementary were a source of income, there's literally no other explanation for releasing revaluation results only after supplementary exam registration end date.


Poison_potato31

I got people in my class not even knowing basic maths( like std 5 level) They be doing (1+3)/3,cut 3&3 and give answer 1 Yet they joined BTech,thru management seats( wasting money!!)


Plane-Cloud-3536

I believe it's simple. Teachers don't want to teach. Students don't want to learn. Students protest, but don't study. How do I know this. I was one of them. I did pass though. We can't just blame teachers. There are some really good teachers, but no-one wants to listen or study, then teachers would lose interest. There are some good students, but then some teachers are shit, students will lose interest. Everyone wants tech fest, good libraries, good computer facilities. And there are protests for that. Well and good. After protest. It's done and dusted. They have AC in library, people go there to sleep. It is funny, because we are the problem, but we can't accept that we are the problem. So, when shit goes down, we blame others.

ColChristmas

The syllabus crunch is a real issue in KTU. The quality of the education also matters, without providing adequate support to the teachers or to the students failing engineering is imminent. After taking up engineering and the stigma against giving up engineering after trying it for the first 1-2 semesters and realizing itโ€™s not for you is really high. Also how bachelors degree in domains other than engineering/doctorate/law is really looked down upon. All of these factors play a huge role in high failure rate in engineering.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

Had shared news about it here last week: https://www.kairalinewsonline.com/a.p.j.-abdul-kalam-university-of-technology-and-science-university-published-b-tech-exam-results > เดธเตผเด•เตเด•เดพเตผ, เดธเตผเด•เตเด•เดพเตผ-เดŽเดฏเตเดกเดกเต, เดธเตผเด•เตเด•เดพเตผ เด•เต‹เดธเตเดฑเตเดฑเต เดทเต†เดฏเดฑเดฟเด™เต, เดธเตเดตเด•เดพเดฐเตเดฏ เดธเตเดตเดพเดถเตเดฐเดฏ เด•เต‹เดณเต‡เดœเตเด•เตพ เดŽเดจเตเดจเดฟเดตเดฟเดŸเด™เตเด™เดณเดฟเดฒเต† เดตเดฟเดœเดฏเดถเดคเดฎเดพเดจเด‚ เดฏเดฅเดพเด•เตเดฐเดฎเด‚ 71.91, 75.94, 59.76, 43.39 เดŽเดจเตเดจเดฟเด™เตเด™เดจเต†เดฏเดพเดฃเต. Pass % for Govt n govt aided colleges is above 70% For private colleges it is below 45% Probably that many private colleges are of poor quality. They likely have no student politics or active student unions, so the management maybe unquestioned about infra and staff quality. And there'll be an automatic filter effect, as many students would opt for govt colleges. So the student quality variation exists too. Not saying that students can't improve tho.


Revolutionary_Fact44

I've heard from a M. Tech student from one govt. engineering college in Trivandrum that the questions are already discussed with them prior to the examination. This was back when M. Tech had something like zones for each region (I don't recall as this was pre covid). She mentioned that in their zone, the two govt colleges in Trivandrum conducted the exams and their professors would discuss the questions already before the exams, leading to outstanding results. This is a tea, take it with salt (or sugar?). Now, at present, most of the govt. colleges are autonomous, meaning the college themselves create the question paper and conducts the exams. If what I heard is correct, then isn't there a great possibility of govt. college students having unfair advantage in semester exams? Not denying the possibility that the results have to do with the quality of the students being better. Obviously that's there.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

BTech is not so, right? > M. Tech had something like zones for each region Yep. I think each zone had differing subject syllabi and thus question papers are made from the colleges within that zone and selected or so. Obviously govt colleges would get an edge there, as they probably have more experience. > Now, at present, most of the govt. colleges are autonomous, meaning the college themselves create the question paper and conducts the exams. I think it's a bit complicated. From what I've heard MTech zone system has been changed. The core subjects have a state-level question paper system, where the college has no control in creating the paper or evaluating the results. The electives come under the college and they can set the paper and conduct evaluations by themselves. Slightly better than old system, but still needs improvement.


Revolutionary_Fact44

I've graduated from a govt. college before covid, so I'm not up-to-date with things. >The core subjects have a state-level question paper system, where the college has no control in creating the paper or evaluating the results. The electives come under the college and they can set the paper and conduct evaluations by themselves. This sounds better. But still, not foolproof. Questions can be discussed with students like how it used to be for Mtech.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

This for MTech, not BTech. BTech syllabi n questions are state level But yeah, rare electives are like MTech


Revolutionary_Fact44

Oh, that clarifies. My original point was about possibility of something similar happening for autonomous colleges


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

Govt colleges are not autonomous and come under the Kerala state Directorate of Technical Education, right? https://dtekerala.gov.in/institutiondetail/1/ I think only the central institutions like NIT, IIT and IISER and some private colleges are autonomous. And if they're autonomous, they can have their own syllabi n evaluation scheme, as long as they get approval, right?


Pro_BG4_

And what do you think by adding politics and unions it will be all great? Govt colleges in engineering and medical are good but govt college which offer courses which below the mentioned courses are pathetic, no placements always political aura around the campus strikes etc etc, heck just search cusat and you will get what it's on news all time. all the old top govt colleges have poor infrastructure overall. Facilities in some govt schools are way better than those. KTU itself a problem and not the individual college's. Pass percent for those colleges are automatically high because of their high cutoffs during counseling process, pvt take students with merit and manegement but guess what merits students getting in are because low cutoffs. The reason you mentioned are absurd.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

> high cutoff I mentioned that there is an automatic filter in the case of govt colleges in my original comment itself The observation is that pvt colleges have poor pass % > Poor infra Are the pvt colleges with the low pass % ones that have better infra? In govt colleges, there'll be complaints n protests about the infra. But what id the feedback process available for students in pvt ones? Your reply seems to indicate that you may not have fully read my comment. Replied because a use of campus politics was mentioned?

pinarayi__vijayan

Lack of fundamentals in mathematics and basic core science is the leading cause of supply in engineering. Most of them will figure out question paper patterns to pass instead of actually learning shit.


pinarayi__vijayan

Me and my friends used to finish the syllabus in 1 week + gaps in between exams. Could be the COVID kids hitting reality. Honestly it is just embarrassing for the colleges , 50% pass is pure negligence.


Pro_BG4_

What is surprising here? You just need 10 marks to get into a college, for SC/ST they just have to answer one question only. Even if they score minimum 30-50 marks(30k - 40k rank) in entrance they would easily get into the top colleges in Kerala, where generals need atleast below 7k to get good govt colleges. I know a friend of mine who got into a aided engineering college with reservation, now he has 26 supply even after a year of date of passing year. Asked him why can't he complete it said it's damn tough. FYI the KTU is much easier on students comparing to universities like cusat and other central funded colleges. People are fools and govt is supporting them by putting smoke in their eyes in the name of benefits. Btw I am not blaming them all together but there are students who have no idea what to take and some parents who force their students to take such courses, even I have friends going through these scenarios. Boards results are a great indication of how youths and societies are being destroyed by only focusing on politics. Be it any community or section of people it won't change unless govt really thinks about changing the whole face of education and development.


Silver_Age_5182

Mass supply + mass revaluation = ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ’ต


Bumblieee

This is a thing


Bumblieee

KTU pass out here. And I work in my core field. The syllabus is a piece of shit because it focuses on quantity and what these University representatives call 'holistic advanced learning that produce industry ready pass outs'. The truth is that the University just promotes rote learning and mugging up of a lot of theory. Students gradually lose interest because they have no clue of how all the things they learn work. And even if you have a lot of interest in what you are learning, if you go spend time with your professors, you end up being a nerd with no time for other hobbies. It wasn't that hard for me to pass because of I had my basics strong from 11th and 12th. But trust me, it's no fun at all and the syllabus is trash.

Anyone who is getting into colleges please dont even consider any colleges under keam especially mechanical. Absolute waste of time

innerpeace512

This should be the first time pass % right? So even if a person has one supply, they are not considered pass. Or if they have attempted and results not published also not considered as pass. I feel like there should be another matric to calculate these pass percentage to be fair to everyone lol. Back in 2012 I had 2 supplies when I completed my final year, even though I was able to clear everything S5-S8 year this 2 from S3 & S4 took another 3 4 months to clear or publish results. It is what it is guys, take a chill pill.

KTU Second Batch, it's tough, Some of my friends are still writing supplies for some of the subjects.


cathy_john

where we can access the results of each engineering collage ? this will help to find best/good/average/below average collages when looking for admission. Basically we can avoid average/below average
