For you to be eligible to be one of Uniabuja student you must be able to meet some criteria’s, some of this requirement are listed below;

1. Score 180 in your jamb, that’s University of Abuja Cut off Mark
2. Must have chosen University of Abuja as your first choice
3. Must have uploaded your O’Level result to jamb to be eligible for admission from jamb
4. For direct entry students, you must have uploaded your A level results to jamb

In addition, all other requirement must be ready. if you score lower in JAMB and your course study is competitive kindly change your course to a less competitive one. No specific date yet for the Post UTME but make sure all document required for post UTME is ready.

Also know that if you don’t have indigene certificate, you can also use birth certificate or declaration of age but don’t use NIN or anything not applicable. JAMB result is compulsory for both JAMB and direct entry students. Direct entry for law are highly advised to change their course because their council members hardly approve direct entry candidates.

How Does UniAbuja Give out Admissions?

UniAbuja admission is not a one-day or one-week stuff. the admission process may take like 3 months before it get concluded, that’s how UniAbuja do conduct her admission exercise.

And why is it always like that…?

Well, UniAbuja always give out the admission in a gradual process, whereby, Jambites will get admission first before Direct Entry Applicants start seeing theirs, the process is sometimes faculty by faculty or department as the case maybe be.

The admission will come in starting from Merit then downwards, in this phase, those with high Jamb scores and strong O’level results for the course they applied for will see their admissions first before any other applicants, and mind you, the total number of applicants for each course will determine how sure your admission will be for that course.

And also, UniAbuja admits applicants from each state of the country…

Let me give brief explanation to this, Admission catchment

No matter the amount of aspirants that applied from a state, the school must admit from there, let’s say we have just 10 applicants from Kebbi State, and they scored low in their Jamb score, the school must still admit them as far as they met our general cut off mark which is 180, so, no discrimination or segregation here at all, the school will admit from all states, that’s why you do see at times that someone that scored lesser got admission quick than someone that scored higher, the state of origin and the total amount of applicants that applied from each state matters most.

So, how is UniAbuja DIRECT ENTRY Admission Process…?

Before you can get your D.E Admission into our 200 level here, you must have upper credit or credit in your ND(national diploma) or NCE qualification else you might have to start from 100L and if you are a Bsc. holder, you can get your 200L admission with any qualification, either 1st class, 2nd class or lower.

As for IJMB or JUPEB holder, if you score less than 5 points, you may have to start from 100L for some courses, the fact that you want to enter here as a Direct Entry applicant doesn’t mean they will just give you 200L like that, what you are bringing to us (your qualifications) matters most.

The importance of Indigene letter in the admission process cannot be underestimated, hence, if I apply from Oyo and i score 230 and applied for Law, i might be denied and someone who applied from Jigawa with 190 can be considered, this process allows the university especially competitive courses like law, medicine, pharmacy and engineering, they usually make sure they admit from all states except if no candidate applied from a particular state.

Issue of O’level Result is also a delicate matter, Lots of candidates think once they’ve scored a high score in Jamb then they expect admission, Yes it is such in other schools but not here, our vice chancellor believes more in O’level than just Jamb score. So don’t be surprised if someone with lesser jamb score gets admitted before you.

KINDLY NOTE: Our Post Utme score again is Over 40/40.

Some students will have less score yet they applied less competitive course, they’ll be admitted.

But candidates with 10/40 will still get admission, it’s not by connection, it is by competition.
