[contextly_sidebar id=”RhJGnqMdLWVgnWCHN4nmqCqsMVQ9I5sf”]One graduate who spoke to\u00a0Citi News’<\/strong> Anass Seidu stated that, despite arriving at the venue very early in the morning, he had still not been able to check his placement.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m Kelvin Ashon from La. I\u2019m here to check my [placement]. I came around 4:30am, but I was told to wait because it would start at 7:00am. I\u2019m still waiting, I was told the system was slow and I had to wait a little longer,” he said.<\/p>\n One parent added that, she had been checking the site for her son’s placement for days and had decided to come to Accra after\u00a0all her attempts were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m here with my son and we\u2019ve been checking the site for about three days. I was told to come here and check. I hope before we leave we\u2019ll be able to complete it,” she said.<\/p>\n ‘We’re available to help’<\/strong><\/p>\n The Ring Road Centre Manager of NIIT,\u00a0Ashish Kumar, told journalists that\u00a0the IT company was happy to help all the students and parents who were facing challenges with the placement system.<\/p>\n He clarified that NIIT were not working on any technical aspects of the system but were providing free internet services \u00a0for all the people who came to the premises to check on their placements.<\/p>\n “We are an IT training organisation. What we are doing is a kind of social responsibility and it\u2019s about helping people. We are trying to help the students out. We are not doing anything technical. There\u2019s traffic of students and they are coming here and our staff are available to help them. We\u2019re using our internet to give them all the information they need,” he said<\/p>\n He added that some issues with the site were delaying the process, but assured the public of the availability of the company’s staff to assist the people struggling.<\/p>\n “I think there\u2019s a problem with the site and that\u2019s the reason even we are not able to do anything. A lot of people came yesterday [Monday], and we made them sit in our auditorium so that they could be comfortable. The site was on initially,”\u00a0Ashish Kumar said.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a free service we\u2019re offering, it\u2019s just help for the students and parents. We don\u2019t want them to be running around, when they\u2019ll face the same challenges everywhere else. At least here, they are sitting inside and are comfortable until it starts working so that we help them all.”<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Edwin Kwakofi\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some parents and Junior High School (JHS) graduates rushed to the Ring Road office of NIIT on Tuesday in Accra to complete their registration for placement in the Senior High Schools before the deadline.
