Sixteen student mistakenly received acceptance letters from Republic Polytechnic. The polytechnic subsequently withdrew their places.
The polytechnic said that it discovered some discrepancies in the submitted and actual examination grades of the sixteen students during verification checks.
After confirming that these students did not meet the admission criteria for RP’s courses, the polytechnic rescinded their places, out of fairness to other unsuccessful applicants.
All 16 affected students have been considered for alternative placements, either in the ITE or the other polytechnics.
Republic Polytechnic also said that it would refund the enrolment fees paid by the affected students.
