Guidelines for Backlog Registration

To facilitate the students to clear their F/M/G/FAIL grade courses in the Autumn Term, Session 2024-
25, the registration for backlog courses will start from 12th Aug 2024. The classes for courses registered
as backlog courses by the students shall be held along with the regular students in offline mode. The
interface for Backlog registration shall remain active till 19th Aug 2024.

Important points regarding the Backlog Registration Process:

1. UMS path to be followed for registration of backlog courses: UMS Navigation→ Examination
system→ Backlog Registration → Backlog Course Registration
2. Grade conversion will be applicable as per table 1 for those courses which have been offered in
this Term 2024-25.

Table 1 Permissibility of conversions of grades

S. No. Existing grade Grade Change permissible Conversion

1. E G Allowed

2. E F Allowed

3. G F Allowed

3. Registration of M grade courses: Students receives a "M" grade in a course if they haven't
studied the same before or course could not mapped because of program changes, term or
year off, rejoining or migration. Students can register for these "M" grade courses through the
online backlog registration interface, subject to the availability of the courses.

4. Conditions applicable for backlog registration: Students can register for backlog courses
under the following conditions for courses registering with F/M/Fail grades:

a. Continuing students should have minimum 2.5 CGPA or equivalent percentage (in case
of marks-based programme). CGPA condition is not applicable for non-promoted and
passout students.
b. It is advised that you register backlog courses with clash free timetable. However,
registration with minimal clashes is permitted under following conditions:

a. Weekly contact hours with clashes should not exceed 10% of total weekly
regular contact hours and clash-free backlog contact hours taken together. AND
b. No Backlog course should have a 100% clash with regular/registered backlog
courses.

For Example:

Example 1: If a student has a weekly load of 30 hours and he/she registers one
course with 3 contract hours in backlog out of which 2 hours are clashing with
 regular timetable then his % clash with regular and clash free backlog load taken
together is

= 2/(30+1) = 2/31 = 6.4% < 10%

Hence the student is allowed to register the course.

Example 2: If a student has a weekly load of 30 hours and he/she registers one
course with 3 contract hours in backlog out of which all 3 hours are clashing with
regular timetable i.e 100% timetable of registered course is clashing. Then although
the total clash percentage is 10%, student still not be allowed according to 2nd
condition mentioned above.
