AB  - The current model for running the Extended Curriculum Programme of the Bachelor of Science (BSc
ECP) was an attempt to increase access into the science programmes. This BSc ECP Model was also an attempt
to improve past models which were planned to increase science and engineering graduates. However, it fails
to provide the desired results at same levels as the mainstream BSc programmes. When it was introduced, the
BSc ECP was expected to produce the BSc degree for the ECP and mainstream groups of identical quality
standards and pass rates. Currently, discrepancies seem to be showing though with, higher throughputs
emerging from the mainstream groups. When the two groups start mixing at the BSc II level, the differences
are that the mainstream groups show superiority in performance. One of the identified causes is the long pause
from learning in some subjects that the ECP groups have.
