Law Development Centre (LDC) has released results of students who sat for supplementary exams for the post graduate bar course this year. Supplementary exams are given to students who are not able to pass outright in the first sitting of their LDC final exams.
According to a notice by LDC, there was a board of examiners sitting on the 13th May 2019 to consider the special and supplementary final examination results of the Post Graduate Bar Course 2017/2018 and the previous years. In another meeting dated 20th May 2019, the LDC Management Committee approved the results and subsequently released them.
The other years for which the results were released were for students from the academic years 2016/2017, 2015/2016 and 2014/2015. Students who are passed 2014/2015 are automatically discontinued following the 3 years rule implemented by the learning institution. The rule roughly states that should you fail to graduate from the institution within three years, you are taken to have failed the course and therefore have to do the course all over again, starting with the pre entry exam.
For the academic year 2017/2018, 412 students passed, and the rest 183 failed the second time. 22 did not turn up for the exam. For the year 2016/2017, 12 students passed, lesser numbers down the academic years. A good number of students did not turn up for the supplementary for the different years.
Students who passed are required to pay UGX. 400,000 as the clearance fee (the figure covers graduation, the transcript and the diploma certificate) for the graduation by the 20th June and a graduation ceremony slated for the 21 June 2019.
