Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University invites eligible candidates for its 2025/2026 Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening. Registration runs from 11 August to 18 September 2025, with a fee of N2,000. Read below for full details and how to apply.
The call is out from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, once known as Anambra State University. If you sat for the 2025 UTME and kept COOU as your first choice, now is the time to act. Even if you didn’t, there is still a way in — as long as you scored high enough and don’t mind a quick trip to a JAMB CBT centre to switch your first choice.
For most courses, a score of 150 will do. But for Law, Medicine, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Technology, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, you need a clean 200 or more to even start the process.
