Dear Sir,
You should submit a written representation explaining that you are currently in the 6th semester and that clearing your 1st-semester backlog is necessary for your academic progression to the 7th semester. Mention that you applied for the examination and paid the prescribed fees before the notification was issued, and request permission to appear for the backlog examination or seek an alternative arrangement.
If the university refuses to permit you to write the backlog examination and this decision adversely affects your ability to continue your studies, you may seek a formal explanation regarding the applicable regulations and whether any exemption or special permission can be granted. Educational institutions are generally expected to act fairly and consistently, particularly where students have already completed the application process and paid the required fees.
If your representation is rejected, you may consider approaching higher university authorities such as the Registrar, Controller of Examinations, or Vice-Chancellor. If the decision appears arbitrary, contrary to the university regulations, or causes serious prejudice to students similarly situated, legal remedies may also be available. In appropriate cases, affected students can approach the jurisdictional High Court of Karnataka seeking relief against an unfair or unreasonable examination policy.
