According to records, a total number of 1474 Students, only 145 made the cut (61 from the Mbarara campus and 84 from LDC Kampala accounting for a 9.837177748% success rate, 1329 Students terribly failed to account for a failure rate of 90.16282225(%)
In 2018, the government of Uganda approved plans to establish regional campuses of the LDC in the Eastern Ugandan town of Mbale, Western Region, Mbarara, and Northern Region, Lira. The Mbarara campus was established and operationalized effectively in the 2018/2019 financial year.
