To ensure that learners are qualified and truly deserving to be in the program, all prospective first year enrollees are required to undergo rigid screening and pass a prescribed selection examination. Grade requirement of enrollees is 85% in English, Science and Mathematics with a general average of 85% and above. Once in the program, it is imperative for a Special Science Class (SSC) student to maintain a grade not lower than 80% in any subject area and a general average of 85%.
