The gates are open again at Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, and the hunt for fresh undergraduates is on. For the 2025/2026 admission exercise, the school is calling on both Post-UTME and Direct Entry candidates. This time, there is a twist — no written exam. Just the screening, and you are either in the running or you are not.
Dates And Main Points
The screening kicks off Wednesday, 13 August 2025. If you sat for UTME this year, scored 150 and above, and do not mind switching your first choice to EKSU on JAMB CAPS, you can throw your hat in.
The school will also give room to those from its Pre-Degree and JUPEB programmes, as long as they passed. But if you are still waiting for your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results, keep your cool and apply once they are out.
Score Benchmarks
Some courses have higher cut-offs. Here is the breakdown:
- Medicine & Surgery — 260
- Law — 250
- Doctor of Pharmacy — 240
- Nursing Science — 230
- Medical Laboratory Science — 220
- Mass Communication — 200
- Engineering — 180
- Computer Science — 180
- Medical Biochemistry — 180
If your score falls short for these, you can still aim for other programmes. And yes, EKSU takes JUPEB with at least 7 points, but not IJMB.

Who Can Apply
To be considered, you must have at least five credit passes in the right subjects from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB in no more than two sittings.
For Direct Entry:
- Engineering applicants need Upper Credit from a polytechnic.
- Other programmes require Lower Credit.
- NCE holders with Credit or Merit in relevant subjects can apply for Education programmes.
Direct Entry hopefuls should also send transcripts to admissions.registration@eksu.edu.ng before Friday, 19 September 2025.
Final Bits To Note
- UTME candidates with NECO must submit their Result Verification Tokens to the Admissions Office. If you do not have one, get it from the NECO verification page and send it to admissions.verification@eksu.edu.ng.
- Skipping the screening? Then admission is out of reach.
- Any false detail? That’s an automatic disqualification.
