AISSMS Polytechnic, Pune is creating its own system for marks distribution?

Hey everyone,

I’m a final-year diploma student from AISSMS Polytechnic, Pune (MSBTE), and I wanted to share something that honestly feels very unfair.

Today I received my internal marks (47), even after working on a fairly complex capstone project with proper implementation and contribution from my side.

The issue is — in our college, it strongly feels like internal marks are not based on:

• actual practical skills
• project complexity
• or individual contribution

Instead, marks seem to depend mostly on previous academic percentage.

I’ve seen cases where:

• Students with high past % consistently get very high internals
• Even with minimal practical involvement
• While others who actually work and build things get lower marks

This creates a situation where:

• Effort ≠ marks
• Skills are undervalued
• Motivation drops significantly

I want to ask:

• Is this something allowed under MSBTE guidelines?
• Or is this just happening in our college?
• Do other polytechnic students face similar marking systems?

I’m not posting this to attack anyone, but to understand if this is a wider issue or something specific to our college.

Would really appreciate honest responses from other MSBTE students.

Thanks.
