If someone has around 17 backlogs, would they be accepted in the above mentioned universities?

Reply to Alex Dominic

Depends on the university if they feel the candidate's profile is a good fit. This basically depends on academic scores and extracurricular activities.

Quick question, what if someone has 1 or 2 backlogs but not cleared them, will they be still allowed for studies in any UK university?

Reply to astik biswas

The study gap has to be explained in this case and mentioning backlogs will again not grant admission. You can show some other course completion or work experience.

In that case, since the arrears are from bachelors, can he apply for bachelor course again or any diploma course?
