The Management of the Federal Polytechnic, Bida, through the Office of the Registrar, has issued a critical directive to all students currently enrolled in the Higher National Diploma (HND I) programme for the 2025/2026 Academic Session.
In a memorandum signed by the Deputy Registrar (Exams and Records), Mrs. Olatoye Funmilayo Dorcas, the institution emphasized that the verification of entry qualifications is a mandatory administrative requirement for all postgraduate diploma and higher diploma students.
I. MANDATORY SUBMISSION DIRECTIVE
All affected HND I students are required to submit their official National Diploma (ND) results or transcripts (as applicable) to the designated administrative unit for verification and record-keeping.
- Target Group: All newly admitted and returning HND I students (2025/2026 Session).
- Submission Point: Exams and Records Unit.
- Deadline for Compliance: Monday, April 20th, 2026.
II. IMPORTANCE OF COMPLIANCE
The institution highlights that the submission of your ND result is not merely a formality but a core requirement for:
- Academic Validation: Confirming that the student met the minimum CGPA and industrial attachment (IT) requirements for HND admission.
- Result Processing: Ensuring that future HND results can be computed and officially uploaded to the polytechnic's portal.
- NYSC Mobilization: Accurate records are essential for the eventual mobilization of students for the National Youth Service Corps upon graduation.
III. CONSEQUENCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE
The Management has issued a stern warning regarding late submission or failure to comply:
- Academic Record Complications: Failure to submit by the April 20th deadline may lead to the withholding of current semester results.

- Status Invalidation: Incomplete records may lead to the suspension of a student's academic profile on the institution's database.
IV. ACTION REQUIRED BY STUDENTS
- Prompt Submission: Affected students should visit the Exams and Records Unit immediately to submit their documents.
- Verification of Receipt: Ensure you receive a formal acknowledgement or stamp as proof of submission.
- Spread the Word: Ensure your colleagues in the HND I cadre are informed of this deadline to avoid mass complications within your respective departments.
CONCLUSION: SECURING YOUR ACADEMIC FUTURE
