If you have a backlog in your fourth semester but have cleared your final semester exams in 2024, you will not be considered a graduate until you have cleared the backlog. Graduation status is typically granted only when all required courses and exams, including any backlogs, are successfully completed.

Here’s what you should do:

1. **Clear the Backlog**: You will need to pass the pending backlog exam from the fourth semester. Once cleared, your university will update your academic record to show that you have completed all the requirements for your degree.

2. **Passing Year**: The passing year is the year in which you clear all your exams, including any backlogs. Since you are expected to clear your backlog in the future, your passing year will be the year you complete that backlog exam, not the year you finished your final semester exams. For example, if you clear the backlog in 2025, your passing year will be 2025.

3. **Documentation**: Until you clear the backlog, you will not receive your final degree or provisional certificate, which officially marks your graduation. After clearing the backlog, your university will issue these documents with the correct passing year.

Make sure to focus on clearing the backlog to officially graduate.
