Please be informed also that institutions which were found with deficiencies following the nation-wide academic audit of all technical institutions conducted by the Council are directed not to admit students unless the identified deficiencies are rectified, and approval granted by the Council that indeed the deficiencies have been rectified to acceptable standards.
Please be informed further that, following the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children’s directive that there should not be March/April, 2018 Intake for Health and Allied Sciences programmes for this academic year, which was made via letter with Ref.
