It is very difficult to gain admission into any tertiary institution with grade E in any major subject. However, some private tertiary institutions or technical universities do consider such candidates. There is however a clause for such persons; They will have to resit for such paper as they go through their tertiary education.

To avoid resit at the university  means you should not get an E or an F in the particular course. This means that you should not get 0 to 49 in any course in order to escape resit in the university.

Getting an F in any course requires that you retake the examination as a resit course. If it is an E you scored in the course and it is a core course, you would have to resit but if it is an elective, you can choose to resit the course.
