The university announced that students who scored low in exams can retake assessments, and the higher of the two scores will be recorded as the final result.
South Gujarat University has introduced a remedial provision for students whose semester results fell below expectations. Under the new scheme, eligible candidates may appear for a supplementary test, and the better of the original and supplementary scores will be counted as the final grade.
The university’s academic council approved the measure after reviewing a surge in low‑grade submissions across several departments. Students can register for the retake within a two‑week window after results are declared, and the supplementary exam will cover the same syllabus as the original assessment.
Faculty members emphasized that the initiative aims to reduce academic stress and give learners a fair opportunity to demonstrate their true capabilities. The university will publish the revised grade sheets on its portal within a week of the supplementary exam.
Stakeholders, including student unions, welcomed the decision, noting that it aligns with broader educational reforms encouraging continuous assessment and merit‑based progression.
