Worried about backlogs? Here is the absolute truth about how active and historical backlogs impact your placement eligibility with top recruiters.
Active vs. Dead Backlogs
An **active backlog** means you currently have a failed paper that you haven't cleared. A **dead backlog** means you failed in the past but have now cleared it. Most mass recruiters allow up to 1 or 2 dead backlogs, but zero active backlogs at the time of recruitment.
