THE MINDANAO State University has started its Systems Admission and Scholarship Examination in 76 testing centers over the weekend.

The exam was also held at the MSU-Manila Information Office in Ermita, Manila.

Another testing center was opened at the Tubaran National High School in Barangay Mandulog of Iligan.

“Considering that it would be difficult, dangerous, and costly for the Grade 12 TNHS students to travel to the test center at MSU-IIT in downtown Iligan, MSU-IIT, with the approval from MSU main campus, opened TNHS as a testing center to accommodate Grade 12 TNHS students who applied to take the MSU-SASE,” the university said.

Around 6,700 Grade 12 students took the exam at the MSU-IIT.

The exam was conducted in four batches: two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

“Security has been strengthened at the university, and measures have been implemented to ensure the safety of the examinees and the smooth conduct of the said examination,” it said.
