Good day house. My daughter turned 15 years old on the 2nd of August 2019. She has completed her SSCE with 2 A, 6 b and 1d (yoruba). She also got 237 in Jamb and UNN is her first choice and the POST UTME comes up in a weeks time.
My concern now is that UNN emphatically stated in their website that the minimum age required to gain admission into UNN is 16 years. They also requested that she must come along with her birth certificate. Will it be wise to falsify her age to get admission or will they accept her despite her age? Is there a federal university that can admit her at 15?
I don't want to waste money taking her to Nsuka if they will disqualify her on age ground

I had three people in my faculty who were 15 when we were admitted in 2012

I would advice you look for an alternative which clearly states that prospective students below 16 yrs are accepted.

What course is she applying for? I think that's more important due to her score and all. I have coursemates who got admitted below the normal age.

They admit below 16 without any falsification of age, they probably don't check the birth cert or take it serious

UNN does not require birth certificate for Post UTME screening. During clearance, if eventually her name comes out in the admission list, birth certificate will be needed for her file. Doesn't necessarily mean they will screen her out because there are alot of candidates who got admission in UNN under 16 years old.

Don't even contemplate falsifying her age on birth certificate at this time. It's already captured in WAEC database. The discrepancy will be an issue after graduation and NYSC.

Thanks

Wow. She's young. I hope you have prepared her for life outside the home. All the best

We have done our best. Every other thing is left in God's hand

Most federal schools and some states with high application s don't admit under 16.
but with connections and amazing luck she might make it
