For these competitive courses, the admission screening will be based on the Post-UTME test, verified JAMB score and O’Level results uploaded on JAMB CAPS.

Any candidate who receives an admission offer must accept it on JAMB CAPS within two weeks. Failure to accept the offer within the stated period may lead to automatic withdrawal of admission.
