Will having a backlog affect my admission chances for study abroad?
07 May 2026 · Answered by Swastika Ghosh · 1 min read
Having 1-2 backlogs usually does not significantly affect your chances, especially if your overall academic performance is strong. Many universities accept students with backlogs, but top-tier universities may have stricter criteria. A strong SOP and profile can help offset this.
