The National Council for Technical Education (NACTE) announced
recently that it will embark on a new online system for admitting students into
colleges and universities starting 2016/2017 academic year. The online
application system is called Central Admission System (CAS). The new system
will be used to admit students into Certificate, Diploma and Bachelor degree
programs. The Council’s Acting Executive Secretary for Institutional Guidance
and Support, Dr Adolf Rutayuga said in 2015/2016 academic year, they started
using online CAS system to enroll students in health and education for certificate
and diploma programs. Dr Rutayuga noted that the council has been working in
collaboration with Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) in coordinating
enrolment of students in different universities for first degree programs
through CAS. He said the online system showed significant success and it helped
to reduce the number of applicants with fake certificates as well as costs to students
and institutions when applying for different institutions. The other advantage
of the new system includes is that eliminates the possibility of one applicant
to be enrolled in more than one institution. This enables the government to
have correct data on the students who have applied and enrolled to join
different higher learning institutions, he said. However, he noted that by
recognizing the success, registrations through CAS, the government through
Ministry of Education, science, Technology and Vocational Training has decided
that all applications for the said program must be filled by using online CAS
system. Dr Rutayuga said that anyone interested in applying for studies for the
2016/2017 academic year, applications must be strictly done by using the online
CAS system which is supervised by NACTE and TCU.
