Announcing the results, MANEB Director, Professor Dorothy Nampota said out of 154, 132 candidates who sat for the examinations, 83, 846 have passed, representing a 54.40 per cent pass rate.
She said the pass rate for 2023 MSCE examinations is lower than the 58.44 per cent pass rate for 2022 which is regretted.

While 82, 076 male candidates sat for the examination, 49, 125 have passed, representing a pass rate of 59.85 per cent.
