Vice-Chancellor Peter Mbithi said the postgraduate tracking system (PGTS) is aimed at raising the number of students completing their doctorate degrees to 500 per year. This year, Prof Mbithi said, the system is expected to help 200 students to complete their work. “The postgraduate tracking system is aimed at automating the supervision process for ease of management and follow-up of individual student progress at the research stage,” he said. Prof Mbithi said all units must adopt the use of the system to enhance efficiency in the supervision process, progress and tracking the completion rate. “Oral examination of thesis and projects is an examination process and every appointed member must attend,” he directed.
