 JNTUH I am pleased to inform you that the orders have been issued after the approval of University Executive Council(vide ref. 1 cited above) to conduct a Computer Based Test (CBT) or equivalent exam to improve internal marks for the candidates who have completed their course work but did not pass one or more subjects in the semester examinations due to very low/zero internal marks.

In complying with the above said orders, it is proposed to conduct CBT exams for improvement of internal marks for all eligible candidates. Further it is also proposed to conduct onetime-chance end-semester exams, for the candidates of all courses who completed their course work and completed the stipulated number of attempts to clear their backlog subjects. These CBT exams and one-time-chance exams shall be scheduled along with the Odd-Semester regular examinations (March/April, 2021). The Principals are informed to convey this information to all their former students who completed their course work, but could not clear their backlogs.

The notification for conduct of CBT exams (for internal improvement)as well as one-timechance exams shall be issued shortly along with the list of eligible candidates for writing CBT exams.

The detailed FAQs are given as Annexure to this letter for understanding the scope of the new orders of the University. The cooperation of the Principals is highly solicited.
