Important Guidance for Aspirants
-
Category Verification: Candidates must verify their specific admission category (Merit, state of origin for Catchment, or eligible ELDS status) rather than assuming the national Merit cut-off applies to them.
-
Admission Not Automatic: Achieving or surpassing the published cut-off mark serves as a vital benchmark for eligibility but does not guarantee automatic admission. Final selection depends on carrying capacity, quota limits, and the fulfillment of all O’Level and UTME subject prerequisites.
-
Rely on Official Channels: Aspirants are urged to stay updated via verified university announcements and avoid unconfirmed figures circulating on social media.
