Because VTU runs on the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), a VTU result is not a simple marks list – it is a credit-and-grade record that fixes your SGPA, CGPA, class and any backlog. This page covers exactly what VTU engineering students need: USN login, reading the CBCS digital mark card, scheme-wise SGPA/CGPA and percentage conversion under the 2018, 2021 and 2022 regulations, backlog and makeup exams, and the photocopy/revaluation/challenge-valuation route. Always treat results.vtu.ac.in and the main site vtu.ac.in as the only authoritative sources for your VTU result.

Signing In to results.vtu.ac.in With Your USN
Unlike roll-number or registration-number systems, VTU keys everything to your University Seat Number (USN) – the alphanumeric code (for example, 1XX21CS001) printed on your admission and hall-ticket documents that encodes your college, admission year, branch and serial number. You do not need a password to view a VTU result; the USN plus a captcha is enough. Here is how to reach your provisional digital mark card.
- Open the official VTU result portal: results.vtu.ac.in (or reach it via the Examination/Results section of vtu.ac.in).
- Pick the correct result link for your programme, semester and scheme – for example, BE/BTech 6th Semester CBCS, or the relevant PG link. Choosing the wrong scheme link is the most common reason a USN “does not show”.
- Enter your University Seat Number (USN) exactly as printed, without spaces.
- Type the captcha / verification code if the portal prompts for one.
- Click Submit / View Result to display your subject-wise CBCS digital mark card on screen.
- Download or print it. This is a provisional grade card – the consolidated and original mark sheets are issued by your college later.
On result day the portal is heavily loaded, so a slow response or captcha error usually means server traffic rather than a wrong USN – retry after a few minutes. What you always need to log in:
- University Seat Number (USN)
- The correct semester and scheme result link
- Captcha verification (when prompted)

Reading Your CBCS Digital Mark Card
A VTU digital mark card is a CBCS grade card, not a simple marks memo. For each subject it shows your Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examination (SEE) marks, the credits attached to that course, the letter grade you earned, and the grade points – and it is those credits and grade points that drive your SGPA. Verify every field the moment the result is out and report any mismatch to your college.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Student Name | As per university records |
| University Seat Number (USN) | Unique student identification number |
| Course / Programme | BE / BTech / MTech / MBA / MCA etc. |
| Branch / Specialization | CSE / ISE / ME / CV / EEE / ECE etc. |
| Semester & Scheme | Semester number and 2018 / 2021 / 2022 CBCS scheme |
| Subject Code & Title | Course code and full subject name |
| CIE Marks | Continuous Internal Evaluation marks |
| SEE Marks | Semester End Examination marks |
| Total Marks | CIE + SEE combined |
| Credits | Credit value of each subject |
| Letter Grade & Grade Points | Grade (O to F) and corresponding points |
| SGPA | Semester Grade Point Average |
| Result Status | Pass / Fail (Reappear) |
VTU uses absolute grading on a 10-point scale: your total marks in a subject map to a letter grade, and each letter grade carries fixed grade points.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Marks Range (%) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| O | 10 | 90 – 100 | Outstanding |
| A+ | 9 | 80 – 89 | Excellent |
| A | 8 | 70 – 79 | Very Good |
| B+ | 7 | 60 – 69 | Good |
| B | 6 | 55 – 59 | Above Average |
| C | 5 | 50 – 54 | Average |
| P | 4 | 40 – 49 | Pass |
| F | 0 | Below 40 | Fail (Reappear) |
How VTU Builds Your SGPA and CGPA
Because grade points are weighted by credits, a high grade in a 4-credit core subject moves your average far more than the same grade in a 1-credit lab. SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) captures a single semester; CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) rolls up every completed semester. The CBCS formulas VTU uses are below.
| Particulars | Formula / Details |
|---|---|
| SGPA | SGPA = Σ (Ci × Gi) / Σ Ci |
| CGPA | CGPA = Σ (Ci × Si) / Σ Ci |
| Ci | Number of credits of the course |
| Gi | Grade points earned in the course |
| Si | SGPA of the respective semester |
In short, multiply each subject’s credits by its grade points, add them up, and divide by the total credits for the semester to get your SGPA; the same credit-weighted logic across semesters gives your CGPA.
Converting CGPA to Percentage Under the 2018, 2021 and 2022 Schemes
The single most confusing part of a VTU result is that CGPA-to-percentage conversion and class cut-offs depend on which CBCS scheme your batch follows – 2018, 2021 or 2022. Using the wrong formula is the usual reason two students with the same CGPA quote different percentages. Confirm your scheme from your mark card before converting.
| Particulars | Formula / Details |
|---|---|
| CGPA to Percentage (2021 scheme) | Percentage = CGPA × 10 |
| CGPA to Percentage (2018 scheme) | Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 |
| 2022 Scheme | Follow the conversion notified for your regulation on the official portal |
Class classification is derived from your final CGPA, again with scheme-dependent cut-offs.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| First Class with Distinction (FCD) | CGPA 7.75 & above (2018) / 8.5 & above (2021 scheme) |
| First Class (FC) | CGPA 6.75 & above (below distinction cut-off) |
| Second Class | CGPA below First Class cut-off but pass in all subjects |
Note: Percentage conversion and class cut-offs vary between the 2018, 2021 and 2022 schemes. Always confirm the exact regulation applicable to your batch on the official VTU portal.
Credit Requirements, Semester Promotion and Provisional Degree
On CBCS, “passing” a semester is really about earning credits, and VTU sets credit thresholds that decide whether you move up a year, carry backlogs, or become eligible for your degree. The essentials engineering students should track:
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Subject Pass Rule | Minimum 35% in the SEE and 40% aggregate (CIE + SEE) in that subject; else Grade F |
| Attendance to Sit for SEE | Minimum 85% attendance in the course (per official regulation) |
| Backlog Credits | Credits of an F-grade subject are not earned until the subject is cleared |
| Year-wise Promotion | Governed by minimum-credit rules in the CBCS regulation (e.g., credits required to move from first to second year) |
| Maximum Duration | All credits must be earned within the maximum permissible duration for the programme |
| Provisional Degree Certificate (PDC) | Issued after all semester credits are earned; typically available online through the portal before the original degree |
Exact credit thresholds for promotion and the maximum duration differ across the 2018, 2021 and 2022 schemes and programmes. Verify the numbers in your specific CBCS regulation document on vtu.ac.in.
Makeup and Backlog (Arrear) Examinations
Two different routes exist at VTU for a subject you have not cleared, and students often confuse them. An arrear / backlog subject (Grade F) is simply re-attempted whenever that semester’s SEE is next held – even-semester backlogs come up with the even-semester exams, odd with the odd. A makeup examination is a special additional attempt VTU conducts for eligible students (for example, final-semester candidates or those who missed an exam for genuine reasons) so they are not delayed by a full six months.
- A backlog does not block promotion by itself, but its credits stay unearned until you pass, and unpaid backlogs can hold up your provisional degree.
- Backlog and makeup results appear on the same portal, usually alongside or shortly after the regular semester result for that cycle.
- Your internal (CIE) marks are generally carried forward – a backlog attempt typically re-tests the SEE component, so check the applicable rule for your scheme.
- Register and pay for backlog/makeup exams within the window announced in the VTU exam notification; late registration is normally not accepted.
Eligibility conditions and fees for makeup exams are set per examination cycle, so always read the specific notification on vtu.ac.in/en/notifications.
Photocopy, Revaluation and Challenge Valuation
If your VTU result looks lower than expected, VTU offers a graded set of remedies – and the order matters. The standard route is to first obtain a photocopy of the answer script, decide whether there is a genuine evaluation error, then apply for revaluation, and only escalate to challenge valuation if you are confident enough to stake the higher fee. All applications and payments are online through the results portal.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Application Mode | Online through the VTU results portal |
| Photocopy of Answer Script (UG) | Approximately Rs. 300 per subject |
| Revaluation Fee (UG) | Approximately Rs. 400 per subject |
| Revaluation Fee (PG) | Higher per-subject fee (as per notification) |
| Challenge Valuation Fee | Significantly higher fee per subject (as per notification) |
| Marks Revision Rule | Marks change considered only if the difference from the original exceeds the prescribed threshold |
| Application Window | Within the deadline announced after result declaration |
| Result Portal | results.vtu.ac.in |
Typical sequence to apply:
- Log in to the VTU results portal after the result is declared.
- Select the subject(s) for which you want a photocopy of the answer script.
- Pay the applicable fee online per subject and download the scanned script once uploaded.
- If you spot an evaluation error, apply for revaluation within the deadline.
- For borderline cases, opt for challenge valuation, understanding that the higher fee is refundable/adjusted only under the notified conditions.
- Check the revised result on the official portal once released.
Note: Exact photocopy, revaluation and challenge-valuation fees, thresholds and deadlines are published in the official VTU notification for each examination cycle. Refer to the latest circular on vtu.ac.in before applying.

VTU Result 2026 FAQs
How do I check my VTU result 2026 online?
Visit the official portal results.vtu.ac.in, select the result link matching your programme, semester and scheme (for example BE/BTech 6th Semester), enter your University Seat Number (USN), complete the captcha if prompted, and submit to view and download your provisional CBCS digital mark card. Your VTU result is displayed on screen within seconds.
Why is my USN not showing a VTU result even though the result is declared?
Most often you have opened the wrong scheme or semester link, or the portal is overloaded on result day. Confirm you selected the correct 2018/2021/2022 scheme and semester link on results.vtu.ac.in, re-enter your USN without spaces, and retry after a few minutes. If it still fails after declaration, contact your college exam section.
How is CGPA converted to percentage in the VTU result?
It depends on your scheme. For the 2021 scheme, Percentage = CGPA x 10; for the 2018 scheme, Percentage = (CGPA – 0.75) x 10. For the 2022 scheme, use the conversion notified for your regulation. Always confirm the scheme printed on your VTU mark card before converting.
What is the difference between a backlog exam and a makeup exam at VTU?
A backlog (arrear) subject carries an F grade and is re-attempted whenever that semester’s SEE is next held. A makeup examination is a special extra attempt VTU conducts for eligible students, such as final-semester candidates, so they are not delayed by a full semester. Both results appear on results.vtu.ac.in as per the exam notification.
How do I apply for revaluation or challenge valuation after a VTU result?
Apply online through results.vtu.ac.in. The usual order is to first take a photocopy of the answer script (around Rs. 300 per subject for UG), then apply for revaluation (around Rs. 400 per subject for UG), and only escalate to challenge valuation, which carries a significantly higher fee, for borderline cases – all within the deadline in the official notification.
What is the minimum passing criteria in a VTU result?
To pass a subject you need at least 35% in the Semester End Examination (SEE) and a minimum 40% aggregate (CIE + SEE) in that subject. Falling short gives an F grade, and the subject becomes a backlog whose credits stay unearned until you clear it in a later attempt.
