How can I clear my arrears and what impact do they have on my eligibility to study abroad?
You must clear all academic arrears before applying to study abroad. Most universities require you to have no pending backlogs at the time of admission.
- Cleared arrears: If you clear your arrears before graduation, most universities will consider your application based on your final marksheet.
- Pending arrears: Active backlogs can make you ineligible for many programs and may affect your student visa process.
Each university has its own process for clearing arrears, usually through supplementary exams. Prioritize clearing all backlogs as soon as possible to avoid complications with your applications.
