Yes, some German universities may consider your profile with a 61% graduation score and 11 cleared backlogs for master's programs, but acceptance depends on each university's policies and the overall strength of your application.

- Top universities usually prefer higher grades and minimal backlogs, often accepting only up to 3 - 5 cleared backlogs.
- Universities of Applied Sciences are generally more flexible and may accept up to 12 - 15 cleared backlogs, as long as all are cleared before admission.

Having all backlogs cleared is essential. Strengthening your application with relevant work experience, projects, and a strong Statement of Purpose can improve your chances.
