Polytechnics admit majority of its students after secondary school which is after 10 years of formal education.

History

NYP was established on 1 April 1992, and enrolled its first batch of students for its School of Health Sciences and School of Business Management in July 1992. The School of Engineering and the School of Information Technology was opened the following year.
