I was studied civil engineering during 2002-2006 in kerala university. I have some backpapers while I was leaving the colleage. Now I cleared all paper except one programming paper c++ which I have internal mark is less( 16/50, instead of min 35/50). I passed this paper in university exam, 41/100. But due to internal shortage I am still failed in Btech. I passes all 57 other subjects of this course. I wrote my last chance in june 2015 and waiting for result. Due to this I cannot go higher studies, cannot get engineer license which is nescessary to submitt building permit and cannot find a job in abroad or in any PSU. Can I make a complaint against university. Awaiting answers from experts.

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) you have to meet the requirements laid down by university to be a qualified engineer
2) if university has made a rule that student must obtain atleast 35/50 in internal exams in c++paper and you dont meet the requirements you would be declared as failed in that subject .
3) you can file writ petition against the university and challenge the rule on the grounds that internal marks fixed is v high , arbitrary and unreasonable
Another university in kerala, Calicut university gives upto 20 marks moderation to get pass the last paper in a semester. If I get 18 marks as moderation, I can pass and makeup the internal shortage (41+18=59). But kerala university gives only 13 max moderation. Is there any hard rule for moderation? Actually internal mark 35/50 is not very high, many students get it. Due to shortage of internal I need 59 in university exam. it is very difficult to get 59 in c++, also all my chances are expired as per scheme. This internal mark is unnecessary. The questions for internal test exam are same from old university qtn paper. Then what is the important of internal exam when I got min in 40/100 in university exam. Actually I was unable to attend internal test at that time due chicken pox. I misses many chances due to this.
1) it is necessary to peruse the rules framed by Kerala university regarding internal assessment to advice
2) the rules framed for moderation may vary for each university
3) you can consider making written representation to the university
4) if your representation is rejected you would have to move court for necessary reliefs
You cannot claim exemption from the law for your convenience. You have to abide the rules and you are also equal before law.
You may request the college authorities to grant you the requisite marks and convince them of the necessity, if they hear you, there are chances that you may pass or you may have to face the fate that is destined to you.
The rules of moderation of every university are different. The courts cannot bring all the educational institutes under a single uniform umbrella of rules. Going to court will be futile.
