Why Activity Points Drive Student Attendance
Across Indian technical universities (VTU Karnataka, KTU Kerala, Anna University Tamil Nadu, JNTU Hyderabad), students must earn 75 to 100 AICTE Activity Points to graduate.
Attending sanctioned college hackathons, technical workshops, and conferences is the primary method students earn these credits.
However, faculty heads of department (HODs) strictly reject generic paper certificates without verified institutional proof.

1. What Faculty Committees Demand
To approve activity point claims, college academic committees look for: 1. Physical Attendance Verification: Proof that the student was physically present at the workshop, not merely registered online. 2. Institutional Authenticity: Official recognition of the hosting student society (IEEE, ACM, CSI). 3. Unalterable Digital Credentials: A tamper-evident verification link.
