Welcome to AMS Veltech. Accidentally submitting the wrong assignment on the AMS Veltech platform can be a stressful experience, especially with tight deadlines and academic pressures. Whether you uploaded the incorrect file, submitted to the wrong course, or made another error, the Academic Management System (AMS) at Vel Tech University offers ways to address such mistakes.
This article provides a step-by-step guide to handling an incorrect assignment submission, including checking platform policies, communicating with instructors, and taking preventive measures for the future. By acting promptly and following the outlined steps, you can resolve the issue efficiently and minimize any impact on your grades.
Step 1: Confirm the Error
The first step is to verify that you’ve submitted the wrong assignment. Log in to the AMS Veltech portal at ams.veltech.edu.in using your VTU number and password. Navigate to the “Assignments” or “Submissions” section, typically found under “Academics” or “Courses.” Select the relevant course and check the submitted file. Ensure you’re reviewing the correct assignment slot, as some courses may have multiple submissions under similar names or course codes. If the file is incorrect or submitted to the wrong course, proceed to the next steps.

Step 2: Review Assignment Submission Policies
Before taking action, familiarize yourself with the assignment submission policies on AMS Veltech. Some instructors or departments may have strict guidelines about resubmissions or corrections after the deadline. Check the assignment details on the portal for any notes on resubmission procedures or penalties for incorrect submissions.
You can also review the course syllabus or department guidelines, often accessible via the portal’s “Course Materials” section, for specific instructions. Understanding these policies will help you frame your communication with your instructor and avoid violating course rules.
Step 3: Contact Your Instructor Immediately
Time is critical when addressing an incorrect submission. Contact your instructor as soon as you notice the mistake, ideally within hours of the submission. Use the AMS Veltech portal’s messaging feature, if available, to send a polite and concise message. Alternatively, email your instructor directly, as their contact details are often listed in the course section or syllabus. Include the following in your message:
- Your Details: Full name, VTU number, and course code.
- Explanation of the Error: Briefly explain that you submitted the wrong file or to the wrong assignment slot.
- Request for Action: Ask if you can resubmit the correct assignment and inquire about any specific steps required.
- Attachment (Optional): If permitted, attach the correct assignment file to the email for quick reference.
For example:
Subject: Request to Correct Assignment Submission for [Course Code]
Dear [Instructor’s Name],
I am [Your Name], VTU number [Your VTU Number], enrolled in [Course Code]. I recently submitted an assignment on AMS Veltech but realized I uploaded the wrong file. Could I please have permission to resubmit the correct assignment? I have attached the correct file for your reference. Kindly let me know the next steps.
Thank you,
[Your Name]
Be polite and professional, and avoid making excuses. Instructors are more likely to assist if you communicate promptly and respectfully.
Step 4: Check for Resubmission Options
Some instructors may allow resubmissions directly through the AMS Veltech portal, depending on the course settings. Return to the “Assignments” section and check if the submission slot is still open or if there’s an option to upload a revised file. If the deadline has passed, the portal may lock submissions, in which case you’ll need explicit permission from your instructor to unlock or reopen the slot. If resubmission isn’t available on the portal, your instructor may request you to send the correct file via email or through another platform like Clique Veltech, which supports student-faculty communication.
Step 5: Escalate If Necessary
If your instructor does not respond within 24–48 hours or denies your request without clear reasoning, escalate the issue to your class advisor or Head of Department (HoD). Use the AMS Veltech portal’s communication tools or email the relevant department, providing your VTU number, course details, and a summary of the issue.
You can also contact the university’s IT support team at support@veltech.edu.in if you suspect a technical glitch caused the error (e.g., the portal uploaded the wrong file). For unresolved issues, consider reaching out to the Student Grievance Cell, as noted in AMS Veltech guidelines, to ensure a documented resolution process.
Step 6: Verify the Correction
Once you’ve resubmitted the correct assignment or received confirmation from your instructor, log back into the AMS Veltech portal to confirm that the correct file is now listed under the assignment section. Check for any feedback or grades posted by your instructor to ensure the issue is fully resolved. If feedback isn’t visible, follow up politely via the portal’s messaging system or email to confirm that your resubmission was received and accepted.
Step 7: Prevent Future Mistakes
To avoid submitting the wrong assignment in the future, adopt these best practices:
- Double-Check Files: Before uploading, open the file to confirm it’s the correct one. Ensure the content matches the assignment requirements.
- Use Clear File Names: Follow the recommended naming convention, such as [YourVTUNumber][CourseCode][AssignmentName].pdf (e.g., VTU12345_CS101_Assignment1.pdf), to avoid confusion.
- Verify Course and Slot: Confirm you’re submitting to the correct course and assignment slot on the portal.
- Submit Early: Upload assignments well before the deadline to allow time for corrections if needed.
- Use the Mobile App: The AMS Veltech mobile app (available on Android and iOS) allows you to review and submit assignments on the go, with prompts to guide you through the process.
Additional Tips
- Check File Formats: Ensure your file is in a supported format (e.g., PDF, JPEG, DOCX) and within the size limit (typically 10–20 MB). Compress large files using tools like SmallPDF or TinyPNG if necessary.
- Explore Tutorials: AMS Veltech offers guides and mobile app prompts to help navigate the portal. Check the university website or departmental resources for tutorials on assignment submissions.
- Seek Peer Support: Connect with classmates via Clique Veltech or other student platforms to clarify submission processes or share tips.
- Regularly Monitor the Portal: Check the AMS Veltech dashboard for announcements or updates about assignment submissions to stay informed.
