Mandatory Portal Uploads: You must visit a JAMB-accredited CBT Centre to upload your O’Level (and A’Level, for DE) results directly to your JAMB Profile. NSUK cannot offer admission to candidates without uploaded credentials on the JAMB portal.
-
4-Week Acceptance Deadline: Once offered admission, you have exactly four (4) weeks to accept it on your JAMB CAPS portal. If you fail to accept within this period, the admission will be permanently canceled, and you will be marked as “Refused Admission” by JAMB.
-
Mandatory Participation: Online Post-UTME screening is compulsory. Failure to register and participate automatically disqualifies you from admission consideration.
Important Course Corrections (Action Required)
If you chose any of the following courses during your JAMB registration, you must log into your JAMB portal and perform a Change of Course to match NSUK’s current offerings:
-
Mass Communication: This department has been unbundled. You must change your course choice to either Journalism and Media Studies, Broadcasting, or Public Relations.

Estate Management: NSUK does not offer this course. You are advised to change your course to either Building Technology or Architecture.
