The Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) has admitted a total of 8,125 students comprising 5,386 males and 2,739 females out of the total of 8,392 who applied.
Seventeen of these are international students and 52 Post graduate students, Professor Gabriel Dwomoh, Vice Chancellor of KsTU, announced at the 32nd Matriculation held last week, Friday.
The ceremony legalised the status of all new students of the University and thus conferred academic and social rights, as well as other privileges on the students. It also imposed obligations and responsibilities on them.
The Vice Chancellor of KSTU said the students should count themselves lucky to have had admission at the University, which is counted among the topmost Universities in the country and ranked the best Technical University for three consecutive times by the Webometrics University ranking for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
He mentioned that the University maintain high standards in terms of academics and will, therefore, not compromise on them, and advised the students to strictly adhere to all the rules and regulations of the university. He reminded them that breaking the oath has the potential of jeopardising their academic career.
The Vice Chancellor cautioned the students to avoid any examination malpractice because it could lead to their dismissal.
He, therefore, advised them to avoid bad company, which could lead to vices such as alcoholism, indecent dressing and uncontrolled sexual lives.
“The University frowns on those behavioural patterns and will not hesitate to apply the necessary sanctions”, Professor Dwomoh cautioned.
