The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has issued a strong caution to prospective students and their guardians about a fraudulent syndicate falsely claiming to facilitate admissions.

 In a statement issued on Friday, 23 August 2024, KNUST management exposed the activities of this group, which uses fake email addresses—such as “[email protected]” to solicit payments and personal information from unsuspecting applicants.

KNUST made it clear that no individual, agent, or third party has been authorised to manage admissions on behalf of the university.

The University emphasised that all admission processes are conducted solely through its official channels.

The university urged prospective students and their parents to disregard any fraudulent communications and report such incidents immediately to the nearest police station.

To help avoid these scams, KNUST reminded stakeholders that official undergraduate admission forms are available at all regional post offices nationwide or can be purchased by dialing the short code *885# and following the prompts. Postgraduate admission forms are available at designated banks.

The university reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a transparent and secure admission process.

"We entreat all prospective students and guardians to exercise extreme caution and engage with the KNUST Admission Office exclusively to avoid falling victim to fraud," the statement added while encouraging the public to contact the KNUST Admission Office directly for any inquiries or clarifications.
