In sciences, 72.86 percent of candidates that sat for Chemistry had credits  while 69.38 percent of Physics candidates had credit levels and in Biology 67.83 percent of the candidates made credit grades.

The registrar also said that efforts of the council at reducing examination malpractices paid off as only 0.44 percent of those who sat for the examination were involved in malpractices.

A comparative analysis of past results showed a steady improvement in results over the past three years posting the best result in the current year.
