The Management of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has refuted circulating reports claiming that applicants are required to pay an amount of GH¢2,550 through a provided link to secure admission for the 2023/2024 academic year.

KNUST clarified that it has not initiated the admission processing, emphasizing that the West African Examination Council (WAEC) has yet to release the WASSCE results.

The university is urging the public to dismiss such messages and advised individuals to refer to the official university website for authentic information regarding admissions.

Several applicants have reported receiving SMS messages instructing them to make the mentioned payment through a specific link. KNUST, however, stressed that it does not use SMS messages for communication related to admissions.

Reiterating that the sole official sources for admission information are the university's website and official social media handles, KNUST cautioned applicants to be vigilant against scammers who might attempt to solicit money or personal information under the guise of admissions processing.
