The Standard established that for the first time, some students who scored a strong A- have been placed in two public universities to study medicine. “In the past, even students with a plain A never got the opportunity to study medicine. A total of 4,645 students scored A- while another 10,975 scored B+ and 17,216 posted B. However, this year’s placement was unique because there will be no students left for public universities to pick for the parallel programmes. The 35 public universities were allocated 71,089 students while the 28 private institutions will absorb a record 17,368.
