Thus, all institutions with available slots and capacity to offer March/April Intake are now permitted to proceed with admission processes but observing the following conditions:

The institution shall have to ensure that all reported students for September, 2017 Admission Cycle (students of the 2017/2018 academic year) are enrolled in the NACTE system before submission of the selected applicants for March/April, 2018 Intake.
The admission of students is open from 20^th February, 2018 to 30^th March, 2018.
The selected applicants shall be submitted to NACTE for verification from 30^th March, 2018 to 4^th April, 2018. The submission process will be as it was done in September, 2017 Admission Cycle.
The names of verified selected applicants shall be submitted by NACTE to the respective institutions after verification by 10^th April, 2018.

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.
