If an examination is finally failed (written repeat examination and oral re-examination), an application for a second retake can be submitted to the Examination Committee in justified cases.

Orientation examinations are excluded from second retakes!

After a failed written re-examination, an oral re-examination takes place promptly, which cannot be graded better than 4.0.

The registration and scheduling of this examination is handled directly by the examining institute. Please note the notices at the institutes and check your KIT email account regularly!

You can repeat the exam once, both orally and in writing.

You can withdraw from a written examination until the examination papers are issued (online or directly to the examiner).

Be sure to cancel your registration before the start of the examination.

As long as it is possible, via the campus portal, or directly to the examiner if you have to cancel at short notice.
