What is meant by zero semester?
The concept of a “Zero Semester” is introduced to assist the students who are interested in enrolling at the Virtual University for diploma programs, associate degrees, or 4-year bachelor’s programs. This option is specifically designed for students who have the necessary qualifications but didn’t achieve the required marks, such as less than 45% marks or having a CGPA lower than 2.0 out of 4.
Zero Semester Break Down:
- Purpose of ‘Zero Semester’: The main goal of the ‘Zero Semester’ is to provide support to individuals who aim to join the Virtual University for various academic programs.
- Eligibility Criteria: This option is particularly meant for those who have the right qualifications but fell short in terms of academic performance, with marks lower than 45% or a CGPA below 2.0 out of 4.
- How ‘Zero Semester’ Works: By enrolling in the ‘Zero Semester’ and successfully meeting the specified completion requirements of a 2.0 CGPA out of 4.0, the student has the opportunity to be admitted to Virtual University. Once they fulfill these requirements, they become eligible for admission into their desired undergraduate programs at the Virtual University.
- Admission fee: Fee at the time of Admission Rs.8275
- Duration: It is a one-semester (18-week) program.
In summary, the ‘Zero Semester’ acts as a bridge for students who may not have met the academic criteria initially but provides them with a chance to enhance their qualifications and eventually follow the undergraduate programs they seek at the Virtual University
