📌 Overview

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has issued a directive to all tertiary institutions—including the 72 federal universities and various state-owned entities—to conclude their admission processing by November 30, 2026. This move is designed to stabilize the academic calendar, which has been historically erratic due to industrial actions and administrative delays.

📅 Key Admission Deadlines

| Action | Deadline Date | | :--- | :--- | | Post-UTME Screening | Official date pending (University specific) | | Admission Portal Closure | November 30, 2026 | | Commencement of Sessions | Varies by Institution |

📝 Guidance for Prospective Students

Candidates must ensure their details are correctly uploaded to the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). With the recent scraping of affiliated degree programs, candidates are warned to only apply to programs directly accredited by the NUC to avoid certificate invalidation.

How Nigerian University Aggregate Scores Are Calculated

Most Nigerian universities determine admission eligibility using a weighted aggregate formula combining your JAMB UTME score (scaled out of 50%), Post-UTME screening score (scaled out of 30%), and best 5 O-Level SSCE grades (scaled out of 20%). For instance, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) uses a strict 50:30:20 ratio. Other institutions such as Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) use a 50:50 ratio between JAMB and Post-UTME.

CampusAI automates these institutional formulas instantly while validating your mandatory subject combinations against official JAMB brochure rules to prevent candidate disqualification.
