7,000 contest for 2,000 admission slots at Ado Poly
Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, Dr Theresa Akande, has said the institution can admit only 2,000 applicants among the 7,000 that sat for its post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, P-UTME, last week.
Akande said the polytechnic could only admit about 2,000 for National Diploma, ND, in view of its allotted carrying capacity by the regulating body, National Board for Technical Education, NBTE.
In a statement by the institution’s spokesman, Prince Ade Adeyemi-Adejolu, Akande assured that all hands were on deck to ensure a smooth-free conclusion of admission processes with the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, JAMB, to enable the institution begin the 2015/2016 session in due course.
The rector had during an assessment tour of the week-long screening exercise, observed that the polytechnic had come a long way since 2011 when it began Computer-Based P-UTME screening of candidates who chose the institution.
The 2015 P-UTME screening test was held between Monday and Friday last week.
The institution’s Director of Academic Planning, Mr. Gbenga Owolabi, said the P-UTME was delayed for proper fine-tuning of necessary arrangements and logistics in expectation of a successful exercise.
Owolabi said all loopholes witnessed in the past five years since the CBT screening started had been blocked to forestall any form of examination malpractice, adding that the exercise was been hitch-free as expected.
