Subjects Registration for Semester Starting Jan 2009

For those who doesn't already know, subjects registration for the Diploma in IT program has been on-going for more than a week now. And it will end on the 24th of December 2008. Make sure you register for the new semester before then.

The new semester will begin on the 5th of January 2009. I expect your exam results to be out in the same week.

Industrial Training

For all those final semester or senior DIT students who are interested to go for an Industrial Training, please see Ms Kameni.

Trainings will be conducted for approximately 3-6 months by selected IT companies. If the students perform well during the training period, there is a chance that they will be hired.
