How to use the Credits Earned vs Required Tracker
- 1. List semestersEnter each semester as: name, credits registered, credits earned.
- 2. Add the degree totalType the credits your degree needs and the semesters left.
- 3. Track progressSee credits earned, pending, still needed and per semester.
How the tracker counts credits
Credits registered are the credits of all subjects you took in a semester. Credits earned are the credits of subjects you passed. The gap is your backlog credits.
Still needed = degree credits − credits earned. Per semester = still needed ÷ semesters left.
Worked example with the defaults: five semesters with 110 credits registered and 103 earned. That leaves 7 backlog credits. A degree of 160 credits needs 57 more, which is 19 per semester over the 3 semesters left. Clearing the 7 backlog credits counts toward those 57.
Why credits matter
Many universities set a minimum number of earned credits to move to the next year and a total to award the degree, along with a maximum time to finish. These numbers depend on your scheme of studies and ordinance, so the tool lets you enter your own total. Under schemes such as Delhi University's UGCF, credits also decide exit options.
To check promotion rules, use the backlog eligibility calculator or the DU UGCF credit calculator. To see how clearing backlogs changes your CGPA, use the backlog impact calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my degree credit total?
In your scheme of studies or programme structure, usually on the university or department website.
Do backlog credits count once I clear them?
Yes, in most universities. They move from pending to earned when you pass.
Does this check promotion rules?
No. It tracks credits. Use the backlog eligibility calculator for promotion rules.
Is this tool free?
Yes. You enter your name and WhatsApp number once when you see your result, and other Uncodemy tools then open without the form.
