The issue of supplementary examinations is back on the table for discussion at Makerere where the student leadership sees it as the best way for the university administration to help finalists who still have papers to retake.

 A student who has failed a paper would ideally have to wait for one academic year until when the failed paper is taught again. Because of this, hundreds of students fail to graduate on time.

And now the guild leadership has moved has pledged to prioritize supplementary examinations to help finalists with retakes to graduate in time.

Makerere University are the winners of the 2019 Inter-university Quiz, an annual event organized to engage university students in Uganda in answering different contentious questions covering different issues at home and around the world.

The event, hosted by Makerere University today at Freedom Square, attracted participants from institutions such as Kyambogo University, YMCA and International University of East African (IUEA).

The highly anticipated annual big ideas contest has been launched yet again at Makerere University.

The contest seeks to explore students' ability to conceptualize their social ventures in Information Technology. It also challenges students to step outside of their traditional University based academic work and use their education, passion and skills to solve problems in their society.

The 2019 Big Ideas Contest is open to all enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at the university.
