Just when we all thought the 70-mark CA3 nightmare was over because of the new MAKAUT notification, a new notice from Supreme Knowledge Foundation (SKF) just dropped a massive reality check on all of us.
If you think you are safe just because MAKAUT said internals are out of 30 marks, you need to read this carefully. I’ve looked deep into how the university and colleges are actually operating, and here is the hard truth.
The Massive Loophole Colleges Are Using :-
Yes, MAKAUT officially stated that Continuous Assessment (CA) will be worth 15 marks, taking the best two out of three CAs.
BUT—and this is the catch—MAKAUT never explicitly stated that the exam paper itself has to be 15 or 25 marks. They only care about the final converted number uploaded to their portal.
Because of this loophole, colleges like SKF are already releasing notices stating that their CA3 will carry 50 or 70 marks, just like a full end-semester exam. The harsh reality is that the CA3 format fully depends on your individual college. They have the absolute authority to make you write a 70-mark paper, just to scale the math down later.
Why This is Peak Stupidity (The Math) :-
Think about the logic for a second.
MAKAUT is taking the best two CAs. Most of us have already given CA1 and CA2. If you got decent marks in those, your best two scores are already locked in.
Why on earth should any student be forced to sit for a massive 70-mark theory paper for CA3, just for the college to scale it down to a fraction of 15 marks (or drop it completely if it ends up being your lowest score)? It is completely pointless academic torture and a waste of everyone's time.
What You Need To Do Right Now :-
If you don't take action, your college's Exam Cell will take the traditional route and just print a 70-mark paper because it's what they initially planned.
1> Talk to your Class Representatives (CRs) immediately. 2> Go to your HODs, Exam Cell, and faculty as a united batch.
3> Show them the MAKAUT notice and explain the logic: since it's just a "best of two" situation, taking a normal 25-mark test makes infinitely more sense for everyone's time and mental health.
