It depends on the country and university. For the UK (your target), many universities accept applicants with backlogs, especially for postgraduate courses.

- UK: Most universities accept up to 15 cleared backlogs, but top universities may have stricter limits or prefer fewer or no backlogs.
- Your profile: With 6 backlogs (all cleared) and a 6.2 CGPA in Civil Engineering, you meet the criteria for many UK institutions, though options at highly reputed universities may be limited.

Policies are subject to change. If you need help shortlisting universities that match your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
