The Executive Secretary,

National Board for Technical Education (NBTE),
Plot B, Bida Road,
P.M.B. 2239,
Kaduna, Nigeria.

Duration
The National Diploma (ND) programme is terminal. The programme is expected to run for 4 semesters of 17 weeks each. Academic regulations in
institutions may allow a candidate to stay for a maximum of eight semesters on the programme.
4.0 GUIDELINES ON SIWES
For the smooth operation of the SIWES the following guidelines shall apply:
Responsibility for Placement of Students
(a) Institution offering the programme shall arrange to place the students in industry. By April 30 of each year, six copies of the master list showing
where each student has been placed shall be submitted to the Executive Secretary, NBTE who shall, in turn, authenticate the list and forward it to the
Industrial Training Fund, Jos.
(b) The Placement Officer should discuss and agree with industry on the following:
(i) task inventory of what the student should be expected to experience during the period of attachment. It may be wise to adopt the one
already approved for each field;
(ii) the industry-based supervisor of the students during the period, likewise the institution based supervisor.
(iii) the evaluation of the student during the period. It should be noted that the final grading of the student during the period of attachment
should be weighted more on the evaluation by his industry-based supervisor.
4.1 Evaluation of Students during the SIWES

(a) Punctuality
(b) Attendance
(c) General Attitude to Work
(d) Respect for authority
(e) Interest in the field/technical area
5
(f) Technical competence as a potential technical in his field
4.2 Grading of SIWES
To ensure uniformity of grading scales, the institution should ensure that the uniform grading of students’
work, which has been agreed to by all polytechnics, is adopted.
4.3 The Institution Based Supervisor.
The institution-based supervisor should initial the logbook during each visit. This will enable him to check and
determine to what extent the objectives of the scheme are being met and to assist students having any problems regarding the specific assignments given
to them by their industry-based supervisor.
4.4 Frequency of Visit

Institution should ensure that students placed on attachment are visited within one month of their placement.
Other visits shall be arranged so that
(1) there is another visit six weeks after the first visit; and
(2) a final visit in the last month of the attachment.
4.5 Stipend for Students in SIWES

The rate of stipend payable shall be determined from time to time by the Federal Government after due
consultations with the Federal Ministry of Education, the Industrial Training Fund and the NBTE.
4.6 SIWES as a Component of the Curriculum
The completion of SIWES is important in the final determination of whether the student is successful in the programme or not. Failure in the SIWES is
an indication that the student has not shown sufficient interest in the field or has not potential to become a skilled technician in his field. The SIWES
should be graded on a fail or pass basis. Where a student has satisfied all other requirements but fail SIWES, he may only be allowed to repeat another
four months SIWES at his own expense.
6
GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME
The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stresses the need to
introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wishes to transfer the units already completed in an institution of similar
standard from which he is transferring.
In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted; thus, making each of the professional courses, when
completed, to provide students with technical skills, which can be used for employment purposes.
As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes, in the institutions and industry, the curriculum content has been
written in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the student who successfully completed some of the courses
or the diplomats of the programme. There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performance based curric ulum which requires the
conditions under which the performance are expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance. It is a deliberate
attempt to involve the staff of the department teaching the programme in writing their own curriculum stating the conditions under which the
performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptable level of performance. Departmental submission on the
final curriculum may be vetted by the Academic Board of the institution.
Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of
education in the programme offered throughout the polytechnic system.
The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated.Practical Exercises, especially those in professional courses
and laboratory work should, as much as possible, be integrated.
