No college entry test for GPA 1, Grade D achievers


The government yesterday in a circular laid out the guidelines regarding the cancellation of test for admission into public and private colleges.

From now on, college admissions will be based on the grade point average (GPA) in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations.

It added that those who got at least Grade D and GPA 1 in the SSC and equivalent exams in 2002 and 2003 will be eligible for college admission.

However, students who passed SSC or equivalent examinations held in 2001 will have to sit for admission tests.
