He will be given another 3 years' chance to complete all the subjects and you will be declared passed once you complete all the subjects. Otherwise, they will tag you as Not Fir for any Professional course. (NFPC). Then you will not be allowed to do any professional course.

Even if you have a backlog of two to three papers of the last semester, you will be promoted to next semester. You have to be a limitless bit cautious in clearing the backlog papers. In the next semester, you will have to gear up your preparation for the papers included in the semester 2 apart from all the back log papers of semester 1. This will produce severe strain on your mental health.
The best way would be not to ignore the backlog papers and take help of senior colleagues or professors in the connected subject/ subjects and follow their advice. You may also take up the help of solved papers of such subjects written by the eminenent professors. Go through the contents of such papers and prepare for the next examination accordingly.

Many students are facing such problems of backlog or arrears in their engineering courses. To help them recover or clear these at a later time or next semester the scheme of backlog or arrears clearing is devised in which a maximum of additional 3 years are provided after the end of the main engineering period that is 4 or 4-1/2 years. It means practically a student can clear his exam in a maximum period of about 7 years.

Now this is a facility given to the students not to leave the course in desperation and anyhow complete it. But this has a serious implication on ones career. First thing is all the campus recruitment companies will ignore such laggards while selecting for their positions. Second is one will be losing the valuable years of his life only in getting an engineering degree in 7 years rathe than the normal 4 years. By this time the others who have completed it in 4 years would have made good progress in their careers.

Another problem with the arrears is that in the next semesters one has to work very hard not only to cover the current syllabus but also prepare for the arrear papers. This becomes very strenuous to cope up with such load. More arrears means it further accumulates and creates hindrances in the present studies. So, the better strategy is to complete the courses in the earliest semesters and avoid the arrears as far as possible. I agree that sometimes due to health reasons or other eventualities in life the backlog becomes inevitable but one should try to refrain from this evil as far as possible because the basic reason of doing a clean engineering degree in the minimum period is being defeated by going for the backlogs and arrears and struggling to clear the course in such a prolonged period of 7 years.
