For most B.Tech programs at JNTU, the total number of credits required for the entire program is around 160-180. This includes credits earned during the first, second, third, and fourth years of the program. Students are generally required to earn at least 40-50% of the total credits in each year to be eligible for promotion to the next year.
For promotion to the third year specifically, students may need to earn a minimum of 60-70 credits during their first and second years combined. This includes credits from core courses, electives, laboratory experiments, and other academic activities. Additionally, students may be required to meet specific grade point average (GPA) requirements and pass all their courses in order to be promoted.
It's important for students to carefully review the academic regulations and requirements of their specific B.Tech branch at JNTU to understand the exact credit requirements for promotion to the third year. These regulations may be available on the university's website or through the department office.
