The General info for students: Here is information for potential students wanting to enrol at the National Polytechnic Institute of PNG (NPIPNG or Polytec PNG). The academic programs and non-school leavers application processes in this article aim to help applicants as they prepare to submit their 2023 Polytechnic Institute Application Forms.
Polytechnic Non-School Leavers Application form 2023
Selections for non-school leavers are done at the institution and the names of the successful applicants are notified via their website or Facebook page. A letter of acceptance is also sent out to the new intakes for 2023. If you are in Lae (Morobe Province), check the notice board at Polytech PNG at Eriku.
As mentioned, the Offer Letter for successful applicants will be forwarded to your forwarding address given in the application form.
You can also collect the offer letter from the Institute Administration, through a valid ID presentation. If forwarding addresses are changed, call the Institute Care-takers to give your new forwarding email addresses.
School Leavers Application (SL, Grade 12 applicants)
Selection for School Leavers applications is facilitated by the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science & Technology (DHERST) through its Student Support & Scholarship Branch.
It is important to note that DHERST through its Student Support & Scholarship will inform all TESAS awardees through separate offer letters. We wrote this article to give clarity to the process of DHERST selection and TESAS Award. Check them out.
Any selected school leavers who do not receive a TESAS offer letter from DHERST should not consider him/herself to be a self-sponsored student and is subject to all self-sponsor conditions for selected applicants. For queries regarding SL applications, please contact DHERST.
National Polytechnic Institute NPIPNG contact
The offer letters for non-school Leavers and School Leavers go to students’ respective email accounts provided on either the application form (for the NSL) or NOSS (for the SL). That means that applicants to PNG Polytech will receive their Acceptance Letters through the addresses they provided.
