⚖️ How UNIZIK Admission Works
Admission at UNIZIK is competitive and depends on:
- Merit: Your JAMB + Post-UTME aggregate score.
- Catchment area: Some states have reserved slots.
- Educationally less developed states (ELDS): Quota applies.
👉 Meeting the cut off is the first step, but higher scores increase your chances.
For example: If Medicine requires 240 and you score 250, your admission chances are stronger than someone who scored exactly 240.
Also note: You must have at least five O’Level credits (including English, Mathematics, and relevant subjects).
📌 Tips to Secure Admission into UNIZIK
- Score above the cut off mark for your chosen course.
- Prepare thoroughly for the Post-UTME screening test.
- Confirm your O’Level subjects meet the requirements.
- Consider less competitive courses if your JAMB score is closer to the general cut off.
