No matter if you’re a top student or a backbencher, predicting the results of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) can be challenging. Even in your final semester or after several attempts, you might find yourself surprised with a backlog. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to drop or request an exception for a backlog paper. Specifically, we’ll cover when you can apply for the backlog exception or drop the paper, and explain the processes and charges involved in filing a drop case at IP University. Let’s dive in and make things clearer for you!
When can you file for a backlog drop application in GGSIPU?
Once the final results of your last semester are declared on the official website, you can file a backlog drop application. To do this, submit your application to the Controller of Examinations at the GGSIPU main campus in Sector-16, Dwarka, New Delhi. Make sure to file within 15-25 days from the date the final results are announced.
What documents do you need to file a backlog drop application?
- First, obtain the original drop application form attested and stamped by the dean/principal/director of the college.
- Next, include a self-attested photocopy of all the marksheets.
- If the original marksheet isn’t available, you can download your result from the university’s official website. Attach a self-attested photocopy or printout of the result and get it verified by the dean, principal, or director of your college or institute. Make sure they stamp and sign it. Don’t forget to highlight or encircle your result with a pen for clarity.
- Additionally, download and fill the Application of drop case for issuance of consolidated marksheet & provisional certificate/original degree.
- Moreover, pay the application fee in cash while submitting the form (Currently, the drop fee is exempted, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash just in case to avoid any hassle).
- Lastly, carry an additional photocopy of the drop application after the dean/principal/director attests it, as it will be required for receiving purpose.
How many subjects can you drop?
IP University grants credits for passing each paper, typically ranging from 2 to 4 credits per paper. To be eligible for a degree, every student must earn a minimum number of credits.
For instance, in most 3-year undergraduate courses like BBA, BCA, B.Com, B.Voc, and BA, you need to earn 150 out of 160 credits to be awarded the degree. This allows you to drop 2 subjects with 4 credits each and 2 practicals with 2 credits each without affecting your eligibility for graduation.
Pros and Cons of dropping the subject:
Cons:
- Dropping subject(s) will affect your overall percentage. The percentage will be calculated based on the remaining subjects, excluding the marks for the dropped subject(s).
- Instead of “drop” or “-” (dash) or “0,” “exempted” will be written in the consolidated marksheet for the dropped subjects.
Pros:
- Dropping subjects won’t affect your degree or marksheet, allowing you to take admission or a job without issues.
- You save time by not having to rewrite the paper multiple times.
