Hello Abhay

Every college/university have their own set of rules regarding back papers. Like for example in my college if someone get a back in 2nd semester and then passed 4th semester, he can move own to 5th semester easily without any problem.

This is the case for most of the colleges (90%). Although you may move on to your next semester, you won't get your degree even if you cleared your Last semester if you don't clear that back paper. So you also need to clear it to get the final degree of the course you are doing from your college/university.

Thank You!!!
