Hi, I entered the UK on Tier 4 student visa on 10 October 2010 to pursue PhD in Electronic Engineering. Due to unusual circumstances I couldn’t complete my PhD in time and I am still working on it. My university refused me CAS in June 2019. And I made an FLR(FP) application and requested the HO for leave to remain on basis on my contribution in engineering and teaching. I received refusal on 7 October 2019 and the date on letter is 2 October 2019. My Tier 4 leave expired on 16 June 2019 and the FLR application was made in time. I would like to know if I can make a new application without being considered an overstayer and what are other possible options for me? Thank you for your time and consideration.

If you have appeal right then appeal the decision to keep active your section 3C entitlement (if any). Maybe by miracle by doing this you complete your 10 years legal residence for ILR. Applying a new application will break the continuity of legal residence.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.

The only way to make a fresh application, is to go back to your country then apply from there. The 3C may cover only the first application and its potential ramifications like in country appeals. It doesn't cover any further application you make.
The Tier 4 student is limited to 8 years maximum. The idea is to avoid people reaching 10 years of lawful residence by studying in the UK then be entitled to apply for permanent leave to remain. That's probably why your university couldn't issue a CAS. It's not in their hands really.
What are the reasons for refusal?
If you do an appeal, do it properly please.
