d) When a candidate is sponsored for admission to a postgraduate course, the candidate must sign an agreement to serve the sponsoring body for a period of two years following diploma courses and three years following degree courses. If the sponsoring body is unable to utilise the service of such a candidate, the College will reserve the right to utilise the candidate's obligatory service. The service obligation for sponsorship should only be in terms of service and not financial compensation. However, if a sponsored student seeks relief from the service obligation agreement due to extraordinary circumstances, the request will be considered on merits.

NO FEES OR DONATION are to be paid for

course are filled by sponsored candidates and one of the sponsored candidates does not accept the seat, it will be offered to the next candidate on the wait list by rank irrespective of whether he or she is sponsored or open.
