Additionally, we have 3,200 second class lower division,1,124 third Class division and 70 pass.Those who had pass were 82 last year. The MB:BS graduands during the session are 103”.

Ambali expressed delight that the university under his watch in the last four years has recorded giant strides in academic excellence which according to him, have made the institution number one choice for admission seekers.

He warned those seeking admission into the university to be wary of swindlers as the university does not offer fake admission.

Ambali said the university recently “showed some staff the way out for conniving” with some people to offer fake admission to students while “the affected students were asked to step aside”.

According to him, the university will commission 19 projects during the convocation.
