📌 Overview
The 2026/2027 academic session marks a pivotal shift in the Nigerian university admission landscape. The National Universities Commission (NUC), in collaboration with JAMB, has announced a consolidation of admission guidelines. Following the recent directive to phase out specific affiliated degree programmes, universities are now required to operate under a centralized digital screening framework. This move aims to curb the influx of fraudulent registrations and ensure that only qualified candidates are admitted into the federal, state, and private university systems.
