He noted that 74,342 candidates sat for the examination for 29 subjects.

Giving the breakdown, he said, that 52.28 percent of the candidates were male and 47.71 candidates were female.

The registrar also said that 8,518 candidates were booked for various forms of malpractice showing a 25.4 percent decline in 2022.
