NSUK Splits Mass Comm. & Updates Courses For 2025 Post-UTME

Nasarawa State University Keffi has announced changes to its courses for the 2025/2026 Post-UTME. Mass Communication is now split into three separate fields, while Estate Management and Agriculture applicants must update their choices. All affected candidates must make changes before 29th August to join the screening exercise.

Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has rung the bell for change. What many knew simply as Mass Communication will now take different shapes. No longer one big umbrella, it has been broken down into three fresh degree paths:

  • Broadcasting
  • Journalism and Media Studies
  • Public Relations

The move came through a circular signed by the Registrar, Dr. Bala Isyaka Ahmed II, on Wednesday, 20th August 2025. Candidates who chose Mass Communication in this year’s UTME or Direct Entry must quickly update their course choice to any of these three if they want to sit for the Post-UTME.

Other Courses Affected

The ripple didn’t stop at Mass Comm. Two other areas were touched as well.

  • Applicants who picked Estate Management need to switch to Urban and Regional Planning, since Estate Management is not part of NSUK’s offerings.
  • Those who applied for Agriculture should change to one of these:
    • Animal Science
    • Agronomy
    • Agricultural Economics and Extension
    • Fisheries and Aquaculture Management
    • Forestry, Wildlife and Ecotourism
    • Home Science and Management

So yes, Agriculture as a stand-alone course is off the table. Students must now choose a special track under it.

Why The Changes Matter

It might sound like a small shuffle, but the effect is big. Without making these changes, candidates risk being locked out of the Post-UTME screening. And as the notice makes clear, that screening is mandatory.

The closing date for the exercise stays fixed at 29th August, 2025. No push forward, no delay. Miss it and that’s it for the year.

Notice: NSUK disclaimer on Fraudulent Admission Letters

The attention of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has been drawn to the activities of fraudsters who are attempting to deceive unsuspecting applicants to the School of Preliminary Studies (SPS) by demanding payments in exchange for admission.

These criminals have gone as far as printing and distributing fake admission letters purportedly from the University, with the intent of extorting money from innocent applicants.

For the avoidance of doubt, the School of Preliminary Studies, NSUK, has not commenced the issuance of admission letters to any candidate. Therefore, any admission letter currently in circulation is fake and should be disregarded.

❗ The University wishes to advise the public as follows:

  •  Do not pay any money to individuals or websites claiming to offer admission into the School of Preliminary Studies.
  • All official admission procedures will be communicated only through the University’s official channels.
  • Anyone approached with such fraudulent offers should report immediately to the University authorities or law enforcement agencies.

The University remains committed to transparency and integrity in all admission processes and will not hesitate to take legal action against anyone found to be impersonating the institution or defrauding the public.

NSUK Releases Important Update for Graduating Students on NYSC Mobilization

Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has shared an important notice for all its graduating students preparing for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilization. The university’s management is calling on students to take this process seriously to avoid delays or issues with their NYSC participation.

According to the announcement posted on myschool.ng, NSUK has outlined key steps that graduating students must follow to ensure a smooth NYSC mobilization process. The university emphasized the importance of meeting all requirements to be eligible for the mandatory one-year national service program.

Key Information for Graduating Students

Here are the main points from NSUK’s notice:

  • Check Your Details on the Senate List: Graduating students must confirm that their names and details are correctly listed on the NYSC Senate/Academic Board Approved Result List. This list is submitted by NSUK to the NYSC portal. If your name is not on the list, you will not be able to register for NYSC.
  • Correct Any Errors Immediately: If there are mistakes in your name, date of birth, or other details on the Senate List, contact the Student Affairs Division at NSUK as soon as possible to fix them. Delays in correcting errors could affect your mobilization.
  • Online Registration Guidelines: Students are advised to follow the NYSC online registration process carefully. Use only NYSC-approved cyber cafes for registration to avoid errors. Also, ensure you upload a clear passport photograph that does not show you wearing an NYSC vest.
  • Thumbprint Requirement: During registration, you must personally do your thumbprint. Do not allow anyone else to do it for you, as this could lead to problems with your mobilization.
  • Revalidation for Previous Mobilizations: If you were mobilized for NYSC in the past but missed the orientation camp, use the revalidation link on the NYSC portal to continue the process. Do not create a new account if you already have one.
  • Foreign-Trained Graduates: If you graduated from a foreign institution, ensure your school is accredited, and do not visit the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja for physical verification. You will verify your documents at the orientation camp in your state of deployment.

Why This Matters

The NYSC mobilization process is a critical step for Nigerian graduates under 30 years old. It is a compulsory program designed to promote national unity and development by deploying graduates to serve in different parts of the country. Missing any step in the process could delay your participation or even make you ineligible.

NSUK’s management urged students to act quickly and follow all guidelines to avoid complications. The university also advised students to regularly check the NYSC portal for updates and to reach out to the Student Affairs Division for any support.

What to Do Next

  • Visit the NYSC portal to check the Senate List and start your registration when it opens.
  • Contact NSUK’s Student Affairs Division if you notice any issues with your details.
  • Stay updated with NYSC announcements to know the exact dates for the 2025 Batch A, B, and C mobilization schedules.

This notice is part of NSUK’s efforts to ensure its graduating students are well-prepared for the NYSC program. By following these steps, students can avoid unnecessary stress and join the national service without hitches.
