Entry Level (Where She Starts) Since she is entering after HSSC, she will register for the entry stage: * **PRC (Pre-Requisite Competency):** This is the first stage consisting of 5 basic assessment papers: 1. Business Communication 2. Quantitative Methods 3. Principles of Economics 4. Introduction to Accounting 5. Introduction to Business --- ### 3.
