She said the expelled students included 10 from the School of Postgraduate Studies, 10 from the School of Continuing Education and seven each from the Faculties of Basic Medical Sciences and Computer Science.
“However, the Faculties of Education and Management Sciences have six each and Engineering, and Physical Sciences four and three, respectively,” she said.
The Faculty of Arts and Islamic Studies has two expelled students and Faculties of Communication, Allied Health Sciences and Life Sciences have the least number of affected candidates with only one student each.
She noted that the Senate had equally directed that 19 other students be served with warning letters for other infractions.
Honestly, examination malpractice is not a good way of passing exams, and who so ever engage in examination malpractice would not be able to deffend his results, and the decision taken by the school management is quiet right,so as others can learn.
