Detailed Guide to Fill KNUST Admission Form
Still, many individuals out there do not know how to fill out the online KNUST admission application form. Every year, a lot of students have the feeling and the energy to get admitted to Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. But even so, before you get this admission, you must first apply, and that is where the problem still is for the greater population. To some others, too, they feel filling the application form is nothing until they make mistakes along the way. Due to this challenge, I am creating this post to walk you through everything you will need to know about filling out your KNUST admission form correctly without stress.
Get the Application Voucher
Before you even log onto the application page, you need to get an application voucher. This voucher is now electronic and can be bought on the KNUST admission portal, or you can visit verified outlets like banks to buy a voucher. Here is what you must do.
- First, visit the official KNUST Admission Portal
- After accessing the page, you will see a welcome to KNUST Admission Portal Message which says "Begin your academic journey through our sciences and arts programmes".
- Just beneath it is the option to "Purchase E-Voucher & Apply" or the "Login" option.
- Use the "Purchase E-Voucher & Apply" option if you do not have a voucher and need to purchase one, and use the "Login" option if you already have a voucher from verified outlets.
First, you are to sign up and create an account with a valid and active email address. The email needs to be active and valid because you will be sent a verification link. Also, use a valid telephone number. After entering the required details for registration, check the "I am not a robot" box to verify you are a human. A verification email will be sent to you. Log in to your Gmail and confirm your email, after which you will be redirected to the sign-in page. Enter your email and password and select Log In to continue.
