- Visit AKTU ERP Portal and log in.
- Go to “Challenge Evaluation / Photocopy Request”.

- Pay the prescribed fee online (via card/UPI).
- Download acknowledgment receipt and keep it safe.

| Service | Fee | Purpose |

Once the request is processed, the photocopy is usually provided in 10-15 days. If any discrepancy is found, you can proceed for challenge evaluation within the specified period.

📌 Example of Challenge Evaluation Case
Case Study: A student of B.Tech 4th semester, Roll No. 22001567890, scored 24 marks in Applied Mechanics. After receiving the photocopy, he found 2 questions of 10 marks each were unchecked. He applied for Challenge Evaluation by paying ₹2000. After 20 days, his revised marks became 44/100, and his result changed from FAIL to PASS.
