Institutes of Technology are statutory bodies established under the Institutes of Technology Acts 1992 to 2006 and my Department does not have any function in their day to day operational affairs or in relation to applications from individual prospective students. Therefore, it would not be appropriate for me to intervene on behalf of any particular student.
