Goa Khabar : Goa University has introduced the ATKT (Allowed To Keep Terms) Policy for LL.B., B.A. LL.B., and B.Com. LL.B. students, providing major relief to those facing progression issues.
BJP General Secretary Siddharth Kunkalkar said the issue was raised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) after students highlighted difficulties under the existing rules.
Earlier, students with one or two back papers in the first or second semester were not allowed to move to the next academic year, resulting in the loss of an entire academic year.
Following representations made to Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant, Goa University issued a circular extending the ATKT policy to law courses for the 2026–27 academic year.
The decision will allow eligible students to be promoted to the next year while clearing their pending papers, ensuring they do not lose an academic year.
Kunkalkar congratulated the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha for taking up the issue and welcomed Goa University’s decision, stating that it will benefit a large number of law students across the state.
