A young Ghanaian man was left in disbelief after his relative suffered a setback in his quest to study at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

In a post on X, the young man @BortierCephas shared his cousin's WASSCE result slip, which showed that the boy had an A in five subjects and a B in three subjects.

He explained that based on the boy's academic success in the WASSCE, they were hopeful he would be offered his preferred programme, which is Electrical Engineering.

KNUST warns about admission fraud

In August last year, KNUST warned prospective students and their guardians about the threat of fraud.

The university, in a statement, urged prospective students to be careful, especially with a fraud syndicate claiming to facilitate admissions by soliciting money from unsuspecting victims.

The statement added that no individual, agent, or third party had been authorised to work on admissions and urged all interested persons that official undergraduate admission forms are available nationwide.

At the time of writing, the post had raked in over 150,000 views and 200 comments.
