VTU External Passing Marks Calculator

The VTU external passing marks are critical to understanding for any student aiming to pass a subject or course in the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) exams. This guide provides a detailed overview of the requirements to clear your theory exams effectively and how to use the VTU External Passing Marks Calculator on our website to plan your preparation.

What are the passing marks in VTU?

To pass a theory subject under VTU guidelines, students must meet two specific criteria:

1. Minimum Marks in External Exams (SEE):
   • You must score at least 35% of the maximum marks in the Semester End Examination (SEE), i.e., 35 out of 100 marks.
2. Aggregate Marks (CIE + SEE):
   • The combined marks from Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and SEE should be at least 40% of the maximum marks, i.e., 40 out of 100 marks.

Note : Even if you have scored the minimum CIE marks (40%) and SEE marks (35 out of 100), the combined CIE + SEE marks should be at least 40% of the maximum marks. Only then will the subject be considered passed or cleared.

The VTU External Passing Marks Calculator on vtustudent.in website simplifies this process for you. Here’s how it works:

1. Select Your Scheme & Input Your CIE Marks:
   Select your scheme from dropdown & Enter the CIE marks you have scored out of the maximum 40 or 50 depending on your scheme.
2. Calculate the Minimum SEE Marks:
   The calculator will determine the minimum marks you need in the SEE to achieve the required aggregate of 40% to clear the subject.
3. Plan Your Preparation:
   By knowing the minimum external marks required, you can focus your study efforts more effectively.

Why Is It Important to Use the Calculator?

Understanding your passing criteria in VTU ensures you focus on what’s essential. The calculator:

• Eliminates confusion about passing marks in VTU.
• The calculator not only simplifies the process but also helps you avoid disappointing semester end results by giving you clarity on the marks needed to pass.
• Provides clear guidance on how much effort to put into your SEE preparation.

Since the minimum SEE marks are 35%, we can’t say that you will clear your course by scoring just 35 marks in the external exam. Along with this, the CIE+SEE aggregate should be 40%. When you input your CIE marks in the VTU external passing marks calculator on our website, the tool will check the percentage of marks you have scored in CIE. It will then show the minimum marks you need to score in the external exam to ensure that the combined CIE+SEE marks will be at least 40%.
