Allowed to keep terms (ATKT)^[1] is a process in the Indian education system to allow students of pre-graduation and graduation to study in the next grade if they have failed in 1 to 4 subjects. The students must pass the papers they failed before entering into the next grade. For example, if a first-year bachelor's degree student fails to get passing marks in his four subjects, the student must pass those subjects before entering the third year, while the student can study in second year.^[2]^[3] It has backronyms like Tried and Keep trying.^[4]

The ATKT system has been criticized, mainly by teachers:

{{cquote|Firstly, it would bring down the quality of education in our school and colleges. Secondly, the students would not have any motivation to study.}}^[5]

The most notable/notorious form of ATKT or failure in examinations is in the Engineering Colleges in India. Some students have a backlog of more 10 ATKTs in an academic year.to protest this large volume of ATKTs, they assemble in the Mumbai University campus and demand for the ATKT rule to be increased so that they may be promoted to the next academic year in spite of having many ATKTs.

Within limits of a decent debate, the ATKT system should be moderated (on a "live basis", instead of a "one size fit all") approach by competent education administration authorities. This can be based upon sound knowledge of the local,group-level & individual social dynamics (Election Years, Increased festivities, Sports events, Loss of personal relative/educators etc.,). This requires a perfection in co-ordination between local administrator's (such as DEO, Education Commissioners, Principals of Schools/Colleges, VC's of Universities), sound knowledge of the history of local events during academic sessions and an interface with counsellors.

With the increased outreach of the internet and other media, it is easy to compare Education Systems by "arm-chair critics","struggling teachers/educators" as well as "peer group of guardians/parents/senior students(guiding junior students, without training)".

Changing goal posts during academic sessions has its repercussions, in record-keeping for education administrators, academic senates and academic rights activists (student/educator groups).
