The Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin has matriculated 6,200, National Diploma (ND) students for the 2011/2012 academic session.

 The Rector, Masu'd Elelu, said about 25,000 candidates applied for admission into the ND programmes.

Elelu advised the matriculating students to take their studies seriously, and warning them against keeping bad company.

While assuring the students of their safety on campus, he warned them against contravening the rules  of the institution which could lead to expulsion.

He said the polytechnic enjoys stable academic calendar which accounts for the large number of candidates seeking admission into the institution.

The stable academic calendar, he said, is facilitated by the peace reigning in the institution.
