FUKUOKA -- The Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech)'s cooperative association sent entrance preparation materials with a congratulatory message to applicants including those who weren't accepted, the Mainichi Shimbun has learned through interviews with an applicant's parent and the group.
The co-op had sent the materials to applicants just before the university in the city of Kitakyushu announced admission results. A parent of an applicant who received the materials but was not accepted said angrily, "It offends the test-takers' feelings and is unacceptable. This is appalling as applicants have spent their entire high school life studying for the entrance exam."
According to the parent in Fukuoka Prefecture, the enrollment preparation materials arrived on Dec. 5, a day before Kyutech announced the results of the recommendation-based admission for the School of Engineering. The documents included phrases such as, "To all successful applicants," and, "Congratulations on your acceptance."
The parent rejoiced but was advised by their relative to wait for the official announcement, so they did not tell their child about the documents. On Dec. 6, they learned that they had been rejected.
According to the co-op, it has been sending materials to exam-takers who requested them prior to the announcement of acceptance so that they can prepare for their enrollment early, but this time it neglected to correct the wording. It sent the materials to approximately 230 applicants, and it is believed that they include many who were rejected.
A co-op representative told the Mainichi Shimbun, "It's an unacceptable mistake caused by our failure to check. Some people were disappointed, and we apologize for that. We want to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future."
The university was originally founded as a private institution called the Meiji College of Technology in 1909, and the management was later transferred to the government. It became the Kyushu Institute of Technology in 1949.
