Can I apply for the January 2027 intake if I have active backlogs?

No, most universities require you to clear all active backlogs before you can apply for admission. This ensures you meet the academic eligibility for your chosen program.
For the January 2027 intake, application deadlines usually fall between mid-October and mid-November 2026. You should plan to clear your backlogs well before these deadlines.
With nine current backlogs in your Computer Science program, focus on clearing them as soon as possible to strengthen your application and meet university requirements.
