KNUST addresses admission challenges for freshers

KNUST also addressed concerns from applicants facing challenges in accepting their admission offers, particularly issues related to name mismatches.

In a 50-second video shared on December 17, 2025, the university outlined steps affected students should take to resolve the problem.

Applicants were advised to send an email to admissions@knust.edu.gh with the subject line 'Name Mismatch'.

Supporting documents such as a Ghana Card, Birth Certificate, or any official document showing the correct name must be attached, alongside the applicant’s ID number, full name, and phone number.

The video, which had attracted over 10,000 views and 20 comments, ended with an assurance that all genuine concerns would be promptly addressed, reinforcing KNUST’s commitment to a smooth and inclusive admission process.
