Yes, you can pursue master's programs in the USA with a B.Tech in Computer Science and one backlog, as long as you meet each university's specific admission requirements.

Most universities accept applicants with cleared backlogs, but you'll need to provide transcripts and may need to explain the backlog if it remains. Common master's options include:
- MS in Computer Science
- MS in Information Technology
- MS in Data Science
- MS in Software Engineering

Admission factors often include your overall GPA, relevant coursework, English proficiency (like IELTS), and the status of your backlog.
