    Hi Sachin, I have a decent academics score (BEX - 77.8%, equivalent to 3.85 GPA), but I had one backlog, which I cleared immediately during the first attempt. Furthermore, the backlog was due to me having some surgery at that time. If I justify this, will good universities(Top 50) accept them? As you said, other profile matters too, but I am specifically asking from the academics point of view?

Because the regulations are different for different universities in India. Also regulations have changed from our batch for our college, for our seniors top grade i.e., 10 points in a subject can be achieved by getting 80-100 but for us it changed to 90-100..
