Key Reminders for a Successful Application
Please read carefully to safeguard your admission:
First Choice Synchronization: The portal is exclusively configured for candidates who selected UNIJOS as their first choice. If you meet the 180 score but your course has a higher differential cut-off, please change your course via JAMB CAPS before registering.
4-Week Acceptance Window: Once an admission offer is extended, you must accept it on your JAMB CAPS dashboard within four (4) weeks to enable it to reflect on the UNIJOS database.
Compliance: Skipping any step or failing to fulfill portal directives may lead to delays or disqualification from the admission cycle.
To view the specific departmental cut-off marks, please check the official link on the institutional web page.
