As with every UPU intake, there are numerous cases of students being up in arms due to being rejected from courses, despite possessing outstanding results. While many may point to bias and a lack of transparency, the truth of the matter is, with so many applications to consider, so just have to be rejected. These complaints however haven’t fallen on deaf ears, and the Ministry of Education (MoE) have recently released the official numbers for this year’s UPU intake. Read on to find out what a student’s chances are based on their qualification, applied courses and more.
