BAGUIO CITY -- Norman C. Pentang, a third year Bachelor of Science in Criminology student of the University of Baguio (UB), obtained the highest general weighted rating in the Career Service Subprofessional Examination-Computer Assisted Test (CAT) for the months of January and February this year.

The 18-year old UB student from Itogon, Benguet garnered a rating of 89.43% and topped the other 129 Subprofessional examinees that took the examinations for the said months.

Of the examinees, at least 17 UB students passed the subprofessional examinations and are now eligible for first level positions in government service even before graduation.

Inspiring students to take the Career Service Examination will help them prepare for government-administered examinations they plan to take in the future, according to Dr. Victor O. Delos Santos, Dean of UB’s School of Law Enforcement Administration.
