KNUST has officially banned all smart devices, including smartwatches, spectacles, and AirPods from examination halls. Here’s what students need to know for a smooth exam experience.

Important Notice to All KNUST Students Ahead of Examinations

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has issued a strict directive prohibiting the use of all technological or smart devices in examination halls.

This includes, but is not limited to:

⛔ Smart or digital spectacles
⛔ Wristwatches (analog or digital)
⛔ AirPods, earbuds, or any wireless audio device
⛔ Smartphones, tablets, and other wearable tech

Why This Policy?

The move is part of efforts to prevent exam malpractice, ensure academic integrity, and maintain a level playing field for all candidates.

Time Management During Exams

Students should not bring watches or time-tracking devices to the hall. The University assures all students that:

Time will be projected and visible to all candidates throughout the examination.

This is to ensure you remain informed and confident during your exam session without the need for personal gadgets.

Additional Reminders

Arrive early at the exam center for verification.
Bring only essential items: ID card, pens, pencils, erasers.
Cooperate with invigilators and follow all instructions.

Final Word
