Outside the 2% accepted deviation range. Following the phasing-out process of non- aligned programmes in December 2019, DUT enrolled as many students as possible in the programmes that did not have equivalent replacement programmes, especially in the BTech programme. High numbers of returning students in other programmes also exacerbated this over-enrolment.
