Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi, Sani Usman, has reaffirmed the institution\u2019s commitment to academic excellence, stating that the polytechnic cannot afford to produce half-baked graduates.<\/p>\n

According to the Rector, the institution maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards examination malpractice and places great value on the integrity of its certificates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot afford to churn out half-baked graduates into society after spending years building a solid reputation for this polytechnic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor every form of examination misconduct, there is a corresponding penalty. I urge you all to steer clear of any action or inaction that could amount to academic dishonesty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usman further revealed that the Polytechnic is one of the first tertiary institutions in Nigeria to introduce auditing of examination scripts \u2014 a measure he said demonstrates the institution\u2019s commitment to upholding its standards while also considering students\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, to align with global best practices, we have installed CCTV cameras in most examination halls to promote academic integrity and prevent malpractice,\u201d he added. \u201cThis underscores our resolve to maintain the highest ethical standards in our assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rector also tasked members of the school management with the responsibility of nurturing students and equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to succeed and contribute meaningfully to society.<\/p>\n

Providing a breakdown of admission statistics, Usman disclosed that the institution received 6,928 applications for the 2024\/2025 academic session across its National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes.<\/p>\n

Out of this number, 6,266 students were admitted, with 5,068 successfully registering\u20143,151 for ND and 1,917 for HND.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the event, the institution\u2019s Registrar, Kasimu Salihu, congratulated the new students while emphasizing the importance of discipline and proper conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe place a premium on discipline and decorum. Indecent dressing is not tolerated on campus, and any violation of this rule will attract sanctions, he warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll students are expected to adhere strictly to the dress code to maintain a conducive learning environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
