KNUST warns applicants against fake admission, accommodation agents

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has cautioned prospective students and their parents against falling prey to fake admission and accommodation agents. This warning comes as the university has observed an increase in promotional activities on social media, WhatsApp groups, websites and other platforms claiming to provide official admission and accommodation information.

KNUST has advised applicants not to pay any individual or entity promising guaranteed admission or assured hall bookings. The university has also cautioned against sharing personal data such as admission credentials, login passwords or other sensitive documents with third parties. It has emphasized that all admission-related, fee-related, accommodation-related, and hall booking-related information should only be sought through the university's officially designated offices and communication channels.

KNUST urged applicants to keep their KNUST Admissions Portal login details strictly confidential throughout the admissions process. In a statement released on Thursday, September 17, the university emphasized that applicants must base their inquiries on information published on their official website, knust.edu.gh. Should clarification be required, the university's contact numbers for the Admissions Office are 024 013 0946, 020 133 2812, or 054 020 6262.

The university's official WhatsApp number is 024 013 0946, and its Telegram contact is 050 048 2807. KNUST insisted that adhering to these approved channels would safeguard applicants from unscrupulous schemes targeting students and parents seeking admission and accommodation.
