well organized with his/her studies These backlogs will always create
havoc in the admission process.

2. Student Should clear all the backlogs before applying to the universities.

Universities how ever need to check with the universities before applying. If
the student doesn't want to take chance in applying for Top universities we
can suggest these students with average Universities(To make sure that
student does not fall under any risk)

4. Students with more than 5 backlogs and above should always look for Tier- 2/Tier-3
universities, if he/she is demonstrating a strong extra curricular
activities, Test scores, Publications, work exp etc... can target applying for
Tier-1 universities also(Which would be considered as a Dream University)

5. Students with more than 10 backlogs and above should always look for
Tier-3/Tier-4 universities, if he/she is demonstrating a strong extra curricular
activities, Test scores, Publications, work exp etc... can target applying for
