Higher education is a vital pillar of personal and professional development of individuals. It opens doors to many opportunities and provides valuable skills. In this context, university admission is of critical importance to students seeking higher education.
The recent announcement by the Director of Corporate Affairs of the institution, Kunle Akogun, regarding the admission criteria into the university has generated much interest and raised significant issues. According to his statements, the offer of admission will be based on an aggregate score combining the UTME/DE results at 50%, the post-UTME examination score at 30%, and five relevant O’ level examination scores at 20%.
It is essential for candidates to upload their O’ level and/or A’ level results on the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). This process ensures transparency and fairness in the admission of students. Furthermore, candidates awaiting results should indicate this by selecting the appropriate option on the platform.
Akogun advises candidates wishing to change their course to make the changes on the JAMB CAPS portal and not on the university portal. He also cautions against making changes after the registration has closed. These guidelines are to facilitate the admission process and avoid any confusion or errors.
It is essential for candidates to have a valid and active personal email address and mobile number before commencing the registration process. Verification of the information entered and payment of the registration fee of ₦2,000.00 are crucial steps that should not be overlooked. Candidates are encouraged to ensure the accuracy of their information before finalizing their submission.
Finally, Akogun stresses the importance for candidates to check and print their application documents, ensuring that all the information entered is correctly displayed. For courses that require only one pass or result (such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Optometry and Computer Engineering), it is imperative to submit only one pass on the portal.
In conclusion, the university admission process is a crucial step in the life of students, and it is essential to carefully follow the guidelines provided by the institution to ensure a successful and smooth enrollment.
