Ibadan City Polytechnic Opens ND/HND Admission for 2025/2026: No Post-UTME Required

Ibadan City Polytechnic (ICP) is accepting applications for National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes in both full-time and part-time modes for the 2025/2026 academic session. Significantly, the institution does not require Post-UTME screening for ND applicants.

Key Admission Details

No Post-UTME for ND: Unlike many polytechnics that conduct Post-UTME screenings, Ibadan City Polytechnic admits ND candidates based solely on JAMB scores and O'level results. This streamlines the admission process and reduces costs for prospective students.

Open to All JAMB Candidates: Even if you didn't select Ibadan City Polytechnic during your 2025 UTME registration, you can still apply for admission. The institution accepts candidates regardless of their original JAMB choice, provided they meet other requirements.

Available Study Modes

Full-Time Programmes: Traditional daytime classes with complete campus experience, recommended for school-leavers without work commitments.

Part-Time Programmes: Evening or weekend classes designed for working professionals who want to advance their education without leaving employment.

Typical ND Programme Requirements

While specific requirements vary by department, ND applicants generally need:

• Minimum of five O'level credits including English Language and Mathematics
• Credits in subjects relevant to chosen programme
• Valid JAMB UTME result (minimum score varies by programme)
• Age requirement: typically 16 years or older
