Vide papers read as (2) above, doubts were raised during implementation of the above order, as to whether the benefit in clause 14 of B.Tech 2019 Regulations would be applicable to students who are not coming under B.Tech 2019 Regulations (i.e. B.Tech 2015 Regulations), whether the benefit can be granted to students studying in higher semesters (admission before 17.08.2021), applicability of the university order to examinations conducted on or after 17.08.2021 and whether disability certificate issued five years back could be accepted. In this context, a legal opinion was sought from the Legal Section.

Notwithstanding anything contained in any Regulations for the time being in force, pertaining to the award of Grace Marks for Persons with Disability, clause 14 of B.Tech 2019 Regulations shall be applicable to all students in the matter of any examinations conducted by the University of any course/programme from 17.08.2021 and beyond.
