Not all and sundry can apply for direct entry admission into university. Applying for direct entry is based on your choice of entry into that dream university of yours. Furthermore, direct entry admission into any Nigerian institution of higher education is for applicants who already had a supplementary certificate in combination to their secondary school O’Level. The proposition of this is that, if you are an O’Level holder devoid of any extra certificate, direct entry is not for you.

Which universities accept Direct Entry application?

All universities in Nigeria are logically destined to accept direct entry application from Nigerian students and offer them admission into year 2 or 3.

Institutions such as University of Ilorin, Usman Danfodio University, Kwara state university, Ahmadu Bello University and many others does not necessitate you to submit transcript as a direct entry applicant. While universities like Obafemi Awolowo University and few others requires it. Consequently, in order for you to be confident of what to do, when the post utme date of your preferred institution is out, the university will emphatically state it that you should present your academic transcripts to a particular address inside the school. In case your school is unspoken about this, then you don’t need to worry or submit any academic transcript.
