What is the UTME cut-off?

For this demo we use 100 for ND programmes. The admissions office confirms the cut-off each year.

Can I combine two sittings?

Yes, up to two WAEC or NECO sittings, or one of each.

Is there direct entry to year two?

Not into ND programmes. HND is the route after an ND.

I am over 30. Can I apply?

Yes. Many of our evening and weekend students are working adults.

What if I miss the first screening?

Book the second screening in June. Places are offered after each screening.
