May/June 2026 results are shown as declared for BE/BTech, MBA, MCA, MTech, BArch, BPlan, BCA and BBA, along with BE/BTech revaluation results, and the newest addition is the Summer/Makeup 2026 result for BE 1st and 2nd semester. Still pending or unverified: the eligibility, fee and dates for VTU’s newly notified On-Demand Examinations, and any result added after 28 October. I could not open results.vtu.ac.in myself, so check your own USN on the portal.
What has been released
Visvesvaraya Technological University does not publish one “VTU result.” It publishes a stack of results by programme, semester, scheme and exam cycle, and each has its own link on the results portal. As listed on the page I read, the portal showed the following on 30 October 2026.
| Examination | Reported status |
|---|---|
| BE/BTech 6th and 8th semester (May/June 2026) | Declared for all regions, revaluation results published |
| BE/BTech 2nd and 4th semester (May/June 2026) | Declared for all regions, revaluation results for the 2025-scheme 1st and 2nd semester published |
| BE 1st and 2nd semester, 2022 and 2025 schemes (Summer/Makeup 2026) | Declared |
| MBA and MCA 4th semester, MTech 2nd semester, MBA and MTech 4th semester viva-voce (May/June 2026) | Declared for all regions |
| BCA and BBA 1st to 4th semester (2024 scheme), MSc 4th semester (2024 scheme), PG Diploma 1st and 2nd semester (2025 scheme) | Declared for all regions |
| BE/BTech 3rd, 5th and 7th semester (Dec 2025/Jan 2026) | Declared |
| UG/PG revaluation, May/June 2026 | BE/BTech, BArch and PG revaluation results published |
Earlier in the year, reports put the December 2025/January 2026 results at 3 March 2026, with extra UG links for BBA, BCA, BArch and others updated on 20 March. Those are older cycles. If you are looking for a result from this autumn, you want the May/June 2026 or Summer/Makeup 2026 lines above.
Check that you are on the right “VTU”
Search results for “VTU result 2026” include pages about a different institution entirely. VTUEEE is the entrance exam of Vel Tech University, and its result uses an application number and date of birth, not a USN. A page about the Delhi Technological University’s results can also surface for the same search. Neither has anything to do with Visvesvaraya Technological University in Belagavi, Karnataka.
The VTU in this article is the one that identifies you by University Seat Number. If the page asks for an application number, you are on the wrong site.
Dates that matter in the next few weeks
A VTU circular dated 22 October 2026, as described in the same listing, published the semester end examination timetable for the December 2026/January 2027 cycle. BE/BTech 7th semester papers are listed for 17, 19, 24, 26 and 30 November 2026. The 2022 scheme writes from 2 to 5 PM and the 2021 scheme from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. BSc (Hons) 7th and 8th semester (2021 scheme) runs from 30 November to 10 December, and BArch and BPlan 7th and 8th semester (2021 scheme) from 30 November to 15 December.
On 29 October 2026, VTU also notified On-Demand Examinations. The listing says the Executive Council approved them on 25 September 2026 for students who missed a scheduled semester exam or failed one or more subjects, so that they do not lose a year. Eligibility, fees and dates are to come in a separate notice, which I have not seen.
If you are a 7th semester student, 17 November is under two weeks away. A pending revaluation or a backlog from an earlier semester is worth sorting out with your college this week, not that week.
How to check your result
VTU keys everything to your USN, the seat number printed on your admission documents and hall ticket. It encodes your college, admission year, branch and serial number, and a typical example looks like 1XX21CS001. According to the listing, no password is needed.
- Type results.vtu.ac.in into your browser, or reach it through the Examination section of vtu.ac.in.
- Choose the result link that matches your programme, semester and scheme. For BE/BTech, the listing says to select CBCS or Non-CBCS and then your semester.
- Enter your USN exactly as printed, with no spaces.
- Type the captcha if the portal asks for one.
- Submit, and the subject-wise digital mark card opens on screen.
- Save a PDF and print a copy.
The usual reason a USN seems not to work is that the wrong scheme or semester link was opened, which is easy to do when the 2018, 2021 and 2022 schemes and the makeup results all sit on one portal. The other reason is server load on the first day, where a slow page or captcha error means you should try again in a few minutes. Makeup results are not inside the May/June link. For the Summer/Makeup 2026 result, open the separate makeup link and pick the 2022 or 2025 scheme.
The mark card you download is provisional. Your college issues the consolidated and original mark sheets later.
What is on a CBCS mark card
A VTU mark card is a credit-and-grade record, not a simple marks list. For each subject it shows your Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) marks, your Semester End Examination (SEE) marks, the credits attached to the subject, the letter grade and the grade points. The card also shows your name, USN, programme and branch, the semester and scheme, subject codes and titles, the SGPA and the pass or fail status.
Check each of those the day you see the card. A wrong subject code, a missing paper or a wrong scheme is far easier for your college to correct early.
Grades, SGPA and CGPA, with a worked example
The listing describes VTU as using absolute grading on a 10-point scale: O (10 points) for 90 to 100 marks, A+ (9) for 80 to 89, A (8) for 70 to 79, B+ (7) for 60 to 69, B (6) for 55 to 59, C (5) for 50 to 54, P (4) for 40 to 49, and F (0) below 40, which means fail and reappear.
SGPA is the credit-weighted average of grade points in one semester: add up credits times grade points for every subject, then divide by total credits. CGPA applies the same credit-weighted logic across semesters, using each semester’s SGPA weighted by its credits.
An illustration, using made-up numbers and not a real card. Suppose a semester has five subjects with credits 4, 4, 3, 3 and 1, and you earn grade points of 9, 8, 7, 10 and 9. The weighted sum is 36 plus 32 plus 21 plus 30 plus 9, which is 128. Total credits are 15, so the SGPA is about 8.53. Now notice what the weighting does. The single 1-credit lab with a 9 barely moves the result, while dropping from 8 to 6 in a 4-credit subject would cost you roughly half a point of SGPA. If you want to know where to spend effort before a revaluation, spend it where the credits are.
Converting CGPA to a percentage: the scheme matters
This is where two students with the same CGPA end up quoting different percentages. According to the listing, the 2021 scheme uses percentage equal to CGPA times 10, and the 2018 scheme uses CGPA minus 0.75, times 10. For the 2022 scheme, you need the conversion notified for that regulation.
Take a CGPA of 8.0. Under the 2021 formula it is 80.0%. Under the 2018 formula it is 72.5%. That is a gap of 7.5 percentage points on identical grades, and it matters when a placement form or a higher-studies application asks for a percentage. Read the scheme on your mark card first, then convert.
Class cut-offs also depend on scheme. The listing gives First Class with Distinction at CGPA 7.75 and above under 2018, and 8.5 and above under 2021, with First Class at 6.75 and above. It warns that conversion and class rules differ across the 2018, 2021 and 2022 schemes. Treat those numbers as reported and confirm them in the regulation for your batch on vtu.ac.in.
Passing a subject and earning credits
The listing gives the subject pass rule as at least 35% in the SEE and at least 40% in the aggregate of CIE and SEE. Both conditions apply, so a candidate can clear the aggregate and still fail a subject by falling short in the SEE. A fail means grade F, and the credits for that subject are not earned until you clear it.
The same listing mentions a minimum of 85% attendance to sit the SEE, credit thresholds for promotion between years, a maximum permitted duration for the programme, and a provisional degree certificate issued once all credits are earned. It also says the exact thresholds differ across schemes and programmes. I have not seen the regulation text, so check your batch’s CBCS regulation before relying on any single number.
Backlog, makeup and the new On-Demand route
Three different things share the same vocabulary, and students mix them up.
A backlog or arrear is a subject with an F grade, re-attempted when that semester’s SEE is next held. A makeup examination is an extra attempt VTU conducts for eligible students so they are not delayed by a full semester. The listing says final-semester candidates or those who missed an exam for genuine reasons can qualify, and that eligibility and fees are fixed each cycle by notification. On-Demand Examinations are the newest of the three. They were notified on 29 October to protect students who missed an exam or failed subjects from losing a year, but the rules are not yet public in the sources I read.
A backlog does not by itself stop you from moving up, though its credits stay unearned and unpaid backlogs can hold up a provisional degree. Internal marks are generally carried forward, so a backlog attempt typically re-tests the SEE component. Confirm that for your scheme. Register within the window in the exam notification, because late registration is normally not accepted.
Photocopy, revaluation and challenge valuation
If a result looks lower than you expected, the listing describes a graded set of options. The sensible order is to obtain a photocopy of the answer script first, look for a real evaluation error, then apply for revaluation, and keep challenge valuation, which carries a much higher fee, for cases where you are confident.
The listing gives approximate UG fees of Rs. 300 per subject for a photocopy and Rs. 400 per subject for revaluation, with PG and challenge valuation fees higher and set by notification. Those are approximate figures from a third-party page. The notification for your cycle governs the fee, the deadline and the rule on how much the marks must differ before a revision counts. Applications are online through the results portal, and the window opens after results are declared, so do not wait.
The revaluation results for May/June 2026 are already published for BE/BTech, BArch and PG, so if you applied earlier, check the revaluation link as well as your original result.
What to do this week
Open your result using the right scheme link, and verify every line of the card. If the card matches what you expected, save the PDF and move on. If a subject looks wrong, check the arithmetic against your CIE and SEE marks before spending money, then decide between a photocopy and revaluation. If you are a 7th semester student, confirm your exam eligibility and timetable with your college now. And if you have a backlog and are unsure whether you should write the regular exam, a makeup or an On-Demand exam, ask your exam section and watch the VTU notifications page for the separate notice.
Staying safe
A result is free to view. Only results.vtu.ac.in and vtu.ac.in are authoritative sources. Do not pay anyone for a “result link,” marks changes or a revaluation guarantee. Use contact details from the contact page on vtu.ac.in and not numbers posted on third-party pages.

FAQs
My USN is not showing a result, but I know results are out. Why? The usual cause is the wrong scheme or semester link, or heavy traffic on the first day. Recheck the scheme on your mark card or hall ticket, enter the USN without spaces, and retry. If it still fails after the result is declared, ask your college exam section.
How do I convert my CGPA to a percentage? The formula depends on your scheme. As reported, the 2021 scheme uses CGPA times 10, and the 2018 scheme uses CGPA minus 0.75, times 10. A CGPA of 8.0 gives 80.0% under the first and 72.5% under the second. Confirm your scheme and the 2022 rule on vtu.ac.in.
Can I fail a subject even if my total is above 40%? According to the reported rule, yes. You need at least 35% in the SEE and 40% in the aggregate, so a weak SEE can fail the subject even when the total clears 40%.
Where is the makeup result for the first and second semester? On the results portal under the Summer/Makeup 2026 link, with separate options for the 2022 and 2025 schemes. It is not inside the May/June 2026 link.
Are the new On-Demand Examinations open for registration? Not as far as the sources show. VTU notified them on 29 October 2026, but eligibility, fees and dates are due in a separate notice.
