Which Institutions Can Use PPAPS?

Summary: PPAPS supports multiple universities and institutions across Malawi. Find out which institutions are currently available and how your institution can be added.

PPAPS Is Built for All Malawian Universities

PPAPS (Past Papers Application System) is not tied to a single institution. It is designed as a multi-institution platform, meaning students from any university or college in Malawi can use it — as long as their institution's papers have been uploaded by authorized administrators.

Currently, PPAPS supports institutions including the University of Malawi (UNIMA), Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS), Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), and secondary school students preparing for the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examinations.
