Requirements for ND applicants

ND admission is strictly through JAMB. The cut-off score given in the notice is 100 and above.

Candidates also need five O' Level credits in WAEC, NECO or NABTEB, obtained in no more than two sittings. The subjects depend on the course:

  • For engineering courses, the five credits must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
  • For management and art courses, the credits must include Mathematics, English Language and any other subjects.
Requirements for HND applicants

HND applicants must hold an ND certificate in a related field from a government-approved institution, with at least a Lower Credit or a Pass. They also need one year of industrial training experience and a valid JAMB registration number.

Fee and closing date

The notice did not state an application fee or a closing date. Neither could be confirmed from an official page.

What applicants should do

Candidates applying for ND should start from JAMB, since ND admission is through the board and not a separate institute form. HND applicants should have their ND result and industrial training details ready.
