This paper reports a summary of the experimental results on pre- and post-scission neutron multiplicities (M_pre and M_post) from ^192;202Po compound nuclei populated by ⁴⁸Ti+^144,154Sm systems at 72 MeV excitation energy, studied using the National Array of Neutron Detectors (NAND) at IUAC, New Delhi. The experimental neutron yields along with already existing data for ¹²C+¹⁹⁴Pt and ¹⁸O+¹⁹²Os are compared with predictions from the statistical model of compound nuclear decay including the strength of nuclear dissipation as a free parameter. Mpre values obtained from the present analysis do not show any specific dependence on the (N − Z)=A values of the fissioning nuclei. In order to explain the experimental neutron multiplicities, the entrance channel effects are important.
