Results & Backlogs

Fetching your result

Enter your USN and the app pulls your result from VTU’s own result pages. No screenshots to keep, no PDFs in a downloads folder you will never open again, and no re-entering grades by hand into a calculator afterwards — the marks you fetch feed your CGPA and your backlog list directly.

You can fetch an older semester at any point. It is added alongside what you already have rather than replacing it.

Your results are saved on your phone, not just displayed

This is the difference between checking your result and keeping it. A result page is a thing you visit; a result you have saved is a record you own.

Every result you fetch is written into a private vault on your phone — the same on-device store the rest of your study data lives in. Nothing is uploaded to a server of ours, and nobody else can read it.

That has three consequences worth knowing about:

• It still opens with no internet. Your saved results, your SGPA trend and your backlog list are readable on a train, in a hostel with no Wi-Fi, or during a network outage.
• VTU’s site going down does not take your results with it. Result portals go offline under load on announcement day, and provisional pages get taken down later. Once a semester is in your vault, neither affects you.
• You stop re-fetching. A first-year result stays on your phone for the next four years, rather than needing the portal to still be serving that semester.

If you switch phones, the Drive backup in the app carries the vault across rather than making you fetch every semester again.

A semester you re-sat does not overwrite the first attempt

Results are stored per semester and per attempt. If you sat a semester again in a later exam session, both sit side by side.

That is not tidiness for its own sake. Both attempts are needed to answer different questions: only the later sitting can tell you a subject is cleared, and only the earlier one records that you failed it in the first place. Collapse them into one and you either lose the history that explains why you re-sat, or you keep counting a subject you have since passed.

Attempts are ordered by the date VTU announced the result, not by when you happened to fetch it. Re-fetching an old semester today would otherwise make a first attempt look like the most recent one, which is exactly backwards.

One consequence worth knowing: VTU’s provisional pages often carry several semester blocks at once — the regular exam plus one for each earlier semester being re-sat. The app reads each block separately, so a re-sat semester does not get folded into the current one.

What counts as a backlog, and what does not

Backlog counting is where most spreadsheets go wrong, because VTU uses more result codes than “pass” and “fail”:

• Cleared. Passing a subject at any attempt clears it permanently. It never comes back as a backlog because you failed it once.
• Outstanding. An F or an AB is a subject you still owe.
• Unresolved. WH and NE are not counted either way. They are neither a pass nor a confirmed failure, and counting them as backlogs invents a problem you may not have.

One subject sat twice is one backlog, not two. Every screen that talks about backlogs reads from the same calculation, so the results screen, the vault summary and your performance page cannot give you three different numbers.

Why a semester shows no SGPA

A provisional result carries no SGPA and no credits — VTU has not published them yet. When the app sees that, it reports the marks and leaves the SGPA blank rather than showing a zero.

This matters for your CGPA: a semester with no published SGPA is excluded from the average instead of being counted as a zero, which would otherwise cost you a full semester’s worth of average for a result that is simply incomplete.
