Hi,
I graduated from Mumbai University with a "First Class".

However, I had a KT in the first semester and consequently a "Pass Class" in my first year.

Should I explain the KT/ Pass Class?

Thanks!

For more clarity, what does KT mean here?

So, a KT is different from failing an entire class and repeating the whole class again.

According to the KT(Keep Term) system, if the candidate fails the final written-exam in a semester, the candidate can appear for the exam again in the following semester. The candidate does not have to repeat the entire class or the lab work, assignments, etc. again.

I got it, so as the question asks you will have to mention it, you should not hide this fact. Present it clearly in terms of facts what the issue was and why you received a KT. No need to mention it anywhere in your essays or elsewhere.

Thanks 'ivyvictor2010'.

Should I explain it even though the marksheet/transcript does not say "fail" anywhere. Technically, I don't have a failing grade (as the question asks)? although I did fail the written exam (which I re-took)

The question specifically says "received a failing grade".

My worry is, explaining the whole KT system might confuse them and work against my app.

The question is fairly detailed here and asks of unsatisfactory performance as well, read the brackets.
