Most time, candidates seeking admission via part time confuse the full time courses for part time courses. They just assume that any course offered in KENPOLY undergraduate full time programmes is equally offered under KENPOLY part time programmes but this is not always the case
Many UTME students that selected KENPOLY in their UTME now go for part time programmes after failing to gain admission via UTME and the good thing is that the certificate awarded to part time graduates does not state whether it was part time or full time programme so in the eyes of any employer, every certificate is given equal opportunity.
