ORDER :
As per B.Tech. (R05) regulations, one of the academic requirements to award degree is
that the student should secure 216 credits (out of 224 credits registered) with the compulsory
subjects as listed below;
1. All the first year subjects 2. All the practical subjects
3. Industry oriented mini-project 4. Seminar
5. Project work
Many representations from the students of R05 regulations are received, requesting the
University not to consider the first year subjects as compulsory, in the calculation of 216 credits,
required for the award of Degree. Also they represented that in spite of their hard work and effort
made to pass the first year subjects, they are unable to pass one or two subjects which are
compulsory subjects to become eligible for the award of degree. In addition some of the students
could not get 50% of marks in Seminar to pass that course which is evaluated internally. As it is
internal evaluation a Supplementary examination cannot be conducted and as the candidate has
got the attendance in that semester he/she cannot register for a single subject. Several students
were not able to get the degree awarded for want of this simple lapse. Hence the students have
represented to make this seminar credits also to consider for waiver with total 8 credits.
JNTUH, the Mother University in its order dated 28th August, exempted first year theory
subjects from compulsory subjects for the award of degree. Students’ representations were
discussed in the Directors’ meeting of the University and resolved to approve the exemption of
First year theory subjects and Seminar from compulsory subjects.
Considering the Directors’ meeting minutes and JNTUH order, the Hon’ble Vice
Chancellor is pleased to exempt all the first year subjects and seminar from the compulsory
subjects in tune with JNTUH.
The clause No. 1 of R05 regulations is hereby amended as follows:

academic years, registered for 224 credits and secured 216 credits with compulsory subjects as
listed below;
1. All the practical subjects 2. Industry oriented mini- Project 3. Project work
These orders shall come into force for all the students
admitted under R05 regulations.
