Hoteling T Squared ,Students Enrolment ,Tertiary Institutions ,

Tertiary education has been identified to be central to the creation of the intellectual capacity on which knowledge production and utilization depend and to the promotion of lifelong learning practices, hence the necessity for stakeholders to be actively involved in the growth of education at primary and secondary levels which have implications on tertiary education. This research work compares student enrollment in some selected tertiary institutions with the aims of knowing the difference in the number of enrolment between Private, State and Federal owned Polytechnics and Universities. Hotelling T squared and multiple bar charts are used and it is observed that there is no significant difference between the number of student enrolment in the polytechnic and university over the years under investigations. The multiple bar charts show that there is more student enrolment in the universities, but the difference is not significant.
