Students of AKTU have been campaigning against the university’s decision to conduct offline exams immediately after the release of AKTU date sheet 2021 for the odd semester exam. They intensified the online drive due to Omicron fear and Covid-19 situation. Several students even sought the Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adiyanath’s intervention in the matter. However, the university and the state government did not respond to their request.

With just a day left for the odd semester exams to begin, the university however has clarified that the exams will be conducted in offline mode.

Students can download the AKTU admit card 2020-21 from the ERP login portal.

As per the AKTU circular, AKTU odd semester exam 2021 will be held in offline mode from December 28, 2021 to January 15, 2022. Students were asked to fill and submit the AKTU application form for the odd semester 2021 by December 16 through the ERP students portal using their user ID and password.

The university also extended the last date to pay the AKTU exam fee on the official website of the university erp.aktu.ac.in till December 25.

While releasing the AKTU date sheet 2021 for the odd semester exams, the university also announced that AKTU exams 2021-22 for all semesters, except first and third semester and lateral entries will be held from the last week of December. For those courses which allow lateral entries, AKTU 2021 exams will begin in the last week of February, 2022.
