Federal Polytechnic Bauchi's Student Union Government (SUG) has issued an important update regarding the eligibility of students who graduated with a "PASS" grade in their National Diploma (ND) or Diploma programs for admission into the Higher National Diploma (HND) program.
In a recent meeting between the SUG President, Comr. Haruna Umar, and the Registrar of Academic Affairs, it was confirmed that a directive from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) now mandates that students who graduated with a "PASS" grade must wait for two years before applying for HND admission. This ruling applies regardless of any subsequent attempts to clear carryover courses.
The new policy emphasizes that eligibility for the HND program will be determined based on the official issuance date of a student's final result, rather than the graduation year. This development comes as part of efforts to standardize the process and ensure that all applicants meet the required academic criteria.
Students affected by this policy are advised to plan accordingly and adhere to the updated guidelines. The SUG has expressed its commitment to supporting students in navigating this change and ensuring compliance with the regulations.
This announcement serves as an essential reminder for graduating students at Federal Polytechnic Bauchi to review their academic standings and plan for any future applications to the HND program.
For more information or further inquiries, students are encouraged to contact the SUG or the Registrar's office.
