Edo State University Post-UTME 2025: Requirements for UTME, Direct Entry, and Transfer Students

Edo State University has announced admission requirements for the 2025/2026 session covering UTME candidates, Direct Entry applicants, and transfer students.

The university provides multiple pathways for qualified students to gain admission.

UTME Admission Requirements

Candidates must have written the 2025 JAMB UTME and possess five O'Level credit passes in relevant subjects including English Language and Mathematics. Credits can come from WAEC, NECO, or equivalent examinations across maximum two sittings.

Medicine and Surgery has stricter requirements - all five credits must come from a single sitting, reflecting the program's competitive nature and academic demands.

All candidates must pass the university's Post-UTME screening exercise to qualify for admission consideration.

Direct Entry Admission

Direct Entry candidates seeking 200-level admission must possess:

• NCE with Merit pass, or
• OND/HND with Credit grade minimum, or
• Two A'Level passes in relevant subjects, or
• IJMB, JUPEB, or Cambridge A'Level at acceptable grades

Direct Entry applicants must also satisfy standard O'Level requirements alongside their tertiary qualifications.

Transfer Student Requirements

Inter-university transfer candidates need minimum 1.5 CGPA from their current institution, a valid JAMB admission letter, and official academic transcripts.

Transfer application costs ₦60,000, significantly higher than the ₦2,000 UTME/Direct Entry fee, reflecting the additional administrative processing for credit evaluation and transfer documentation.

Application Process

Apply through edouniversity.edu.ng portal. UTME and Direct Entry candidates pay ₦2,000 application fees.

Candidates who didn't select Edo State University as first choice during JAMB can change their institution through JAMB's official change of institution system.

Program Selection

Review Edo State University's program offerings carefully. Ensure your O'Level subject combination and JAMB subject choices align with admission requirements for your intended program.

Medicine requires all five O'Level credits in one sitting - if you spread credits across two sittings, choose alternative programs.
