AFIT Extends IJMB and Remedial Programme Application Deadline for 2025/2026

The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) has extended the application deadline for its Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) and Remedial programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session. The extension accommodates candidates who couldn't complete registration by the original deadline.

Understanding IJMB and Remedial Programmes

IJMB Programme: A one-year advanced level programme that qualifies students for Direct Entry admission into 200-level university courses. IJMB is particularly valuable for students seeking to bypass JAMB UTME or gain admission to competitive programs like Medicine, Law, and Engineering.

Remedial Programme: A preparatory course for students whose O'level results don't meet university admission requirements. After successfully completing the remedial programme, students can proceed to degree programmes without writing JAMB again.

AFIT's Unique Position

As a military-affiliated institution, AFIT offers IJMB and Remedial programmes with several advantages:

• Structured academic environment with discipline
• Qualified instructors with military precision in teaching
• Well-equipped laboratories and learning facilities
• Direct Entry pathway to Nigerian universities
• Lower cost compared to many private IJMB centers

Who Should Apply

IJMB Programme Candidates:

• Have minimum of five O'level credits including English and Mathematics
• Want to gain Direct Entry admission to 200-level
• Prefer one year of focused study over repeating JAMB UTME
• Seeking admission to competitive university programs

Remedial Programme Candidates:

• Have four O'level credits but need improvement in one or two subjects
• Failed English or Mathematics in O'levels
• Want to strengthen academic foundation before university
• Need JAMB bypass option for university admission

Application Process

While AFIT hasn't specified the exact new deadline, interested candidates should:

1. Visit the AFIT official website or admissions office
2. Obtain the application form and requirements checklist
3. Prepare required documents (O'level results, birth certificate, passport photos)
4. Complete and submit your application with all supporting documents
5. Pay the required application fee
6. Await screening and admission notification

Important Considerations

IJMB is demanding academically. Students should be prepared for intensive study across three subjects at advanced level. The programme compresses two years of A-Level content into one year, requiring dedication and consistent effort.

AFIT's military affiliation means students must comply with institutional rules and regulations. While not as strict as full military training, the environment maintains discipline standards that some students may find challenging.

Contact AFIT

For specific deadline information, fees, and admission requirements, contact AFIT directly through their official communication channels. Don't rely solely on third-party sources for critical admission details.
