Total 181 teachers and 15 principals from Government Polytechnics responded the questionnaire. Through Independent sample t-test, the expectations; in respect of Institutional Management skills, ethical skills and human skills are analyzed.  Results indicated that Principals boast about their understanding of expectations of academic staff but when these understandings are compared with the views of staff a significant difference was found.
