How to use the Backlog Clearing Planner

- 3. Follow the planHours per subject, hardest first, plus revision days.
Why backlogs matter for placements
Most IT companies allow no active backlog at the online test, or one at most, and none at joining. A single pending subject can stop you from sitting a drive. Clearing backlogs early keeps every company open to you and protects your CGPA cut-off.
The planner keeps the last fifth of your days for revision and past papers, then shares the rest across subjects by difficulty, so a hard subject gets up to three times the time of an easy one.
How to study for a backlog exam
Start with the last five years' question papers to see which units repeat. Study those units first, write full answers by hand, and time yourself. Check the passing rules for your university, such as the minimum marks in the end-semester exam, with your university's passing marks calculator before you plan.
After the backlogs are clear
With no backlog, the next filter is the online test and then your projects. Use the weeks after your exam to build one real project in a job skill such as Python, and plan the drive itself with the campus placement round planner.
