Technology, Ind. Tech Build, Ind. Tech Mech) would have Elec & Elec Tech paid

for by JPS Foundation and got four subsidies, would calculate as follows:

Candidates are allowed to transfer SBA marks between Units 1 and 2 in these subjects: Economics, History, Law, Literatures in English, Management of Business and Sociology.

Special care must be taken in selecting the Transfer option. Candidates who enter for Unit 1 or 2 at different sittings may re-use ANY moderated SBA mark obtained within the preceding two years. The SBA mark may be re-used in either Unit, or in both Units, irrespective of the Unit in which it was first obtained.

TRANSFER OF SBA MARKS BETWEEN UNITS

Candidates who are registering for the first time for both Units 1 and 2 in any of the mentioned subjects at the same sitting, will be permitted to submit only One SBA for either of the Units.

NB. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE TRANSFER OR RESIT BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

If you have written a Unit before and are registering for the same Unit with the use of previous SBA scores select RESIT.

If you are registering for both Units in the same year for selected subjects, the

candidate may submit separate SBAs for each Unit or submit a single SBA for

both Units. In the latter case, the candidate must register as SBA in the first Unit and as

TRANSFER in the second Unit.

Students should do a new SBA, especially for transfer subjects where their results show a # sign, denoting that they have performed poorly/failed the SBA.
