IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR UNN DIRECT ENTRY APPLICANTS

First, I must acknowledge the efforts of the Electronic Information Manager, Comr. Ada Monique and her able and ever vibrant assistant, Comr. Ezeoke Stanley Sympathy. Owing to their untiring efforts, I have made less posts and answered less calls in the past months. May God bless you two and the other members of the Information Crew, 2016/2017.

I decided to do this myself for no other reason but to clear the air on some misconceptions.
The usual thing about Direct Entry is that you apply to your choice university through JAMB. This application opens immediately after the usual application for UTME. For the forthcoming academic session, the application was in February, 2016. Those who applied will know what I mean. If you did and chose UNN as your choice university, then read on, if not, please note that there is only one option for you - applying next year.
For those that applied to UNN through JAMB, please read carefully. In the course of sending lists to various universities for admission consideration, JAMB also sends the list of DE applicants. Thus, it is most likely your names have been sent to UNN and so you need no further application to UNN.
The question now is WHAT NEXT?
The university is meant to conduct an oral interview for DE applicants but it is not always like that. From records, last two years (2014/2015) was the last time UNN conducted oral or any other form of screening for DE applicants before admission. Last year their names only came out in the course of publishing admission lists. Considering the calendar for the next academic session, there is high probability that there will be none this year either. However, if the university decides otherwise, rest assured we will inform you promptly.

Thus, if you have applied to UNN through JAMB's DE application, please reduce the pressure you mount on yourself and others. The university has not said anything about your case, and when it is decided, we will let you know.

Here is a wish of successful admission from we all at the INFORMATION OFFICE, STUDENTS' UNION GOVERNMENT, UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA, NSUKKA
