Dear Tushar, if you have a backlog, technically you should complete it before the final semester of your current course. If you can clear your backlog within 4 years along with the final semester exams, you are eligible to appear for GATE. But because you have a backlog but already passed out, unfortunately you are not eligible for GATE.You should complete your backlog to be eligible.

Hii aspirants

Let me clear your doubt. You are eligible for gate exam if you are final year or have completed your btech. There is no effect of backlog in gate exam.

As you have passed this year you are eligible for gate exam.

I hope my answer will be helpful for you Good luck

You can give gate exam if you have cleared your backlog but as you have not cleared your backlog you cannot give gate exam
