But Wait, Did You Pick Them in UTME?

If you didn’t choose ATBCOE during your JAMB registration, no wahala. Just do a change of institution on the JAMB portal. You need to make ATBCOE your first choice before applying.

No shortcut around this step. Without it, your application won’t go anywhere.

So How Do You Apply?

The process is pretty simple. You don’t need to travel to Bauchi or queue under the sun.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Go to ATBCOE admission portal
  2. Create an account using:
    • Full name
    • Email address
    • Phone number
    • A password (something you won’t forget in one week)
  3. Verify your email
  4. Log in and complete the application
  5. Print the acknowledgement slip
  6. Submit that slip to your department (yes, physically)

Some steps are online, but the last one pulls you back offline. Small stress, but manageable.
