About this tool

Honours at AKTU needs more than a high CGPA: the record must be free of grace marks and backlogs at every stage. The evaluator combines your CGPA with those two conditions and reports the award, falling back to Distinction when the record disqualifies Honours.

Grace Marks Policy

AKTU awards up to 7 to 10 grace marks per academic session for borderline failed subjects to help students reach the 40% aggregate threshold (awards Grade E). Grace marks block Honours degree eligibility.

ATKT & Carry-Over Progression Guidelines

Students can carry forward failed subjects (Carry Over Papers) to subsequent semesters.
Clearance of carry-over subjects replaces zero grade points with earned points.

Frequently asked questions

Does a cleared backlog still block Honours?

Yes. Honours requires a clean record, so a backlog counts even after it has been cleared in a later attempt.

What happens if I miss Honours on the record condition?

The award falls back to First Division with Distinction, which your CGPA still satisfies.

Why does a cleared backlog block Honours?

Honours requires passing every paper in the first attempt without grace, so a cleared backlog still removes eligibility even though the degree is awarded.

Does Distinction have the same clean record condition?

Distinction is based on the CGPA band, so it remains available even where Honours is ruled out by a backlog or grace marks.
