Nghipondoka pointed out that NSSCAS full-time and part-time candidates might qualify to enroll at institutions of higher learning based on the combination of their NSSCAS and NSSCO results.<\/p>\n

\u201cNSSCO part-time candidates might have accumulated improved grades over the past few years to qualify for various courses at different Institutions of Higher Learning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
