UNIZIK Proctored CBT Screening for Underage Candidates

Nnamdi Azikiwe University has completed a proctored computer-based screening exercise for exceptional underage candidates seeking admission for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Who the Screening Covered

The exercise was for underage candidates who scored at least 80 percent, or 320 and above, in the 2026 UTME and selected UNIZIK as their first-choice institution.

Why the Screening Was Held

The screening followed JAMB's requirement that exceptional underage candidates should be assessed through multiple metrics before admission consideration. UNIZIK used its own screening assessment as part of that process.

How the Exercise Worked

• The screening was conducted through a secure proctored CBT platform.
• The Admissions Unit and Management Information and Communication Technology Unit supervised the process.
• The platform supported real-time monitoring, candidate supervision, instant scoring and examination security.

What It Means for Candidates

The model may reduce travel pressure for qualified candidates and parents while making screening more accessible. UNIZIK said the approach can support a hybrid structure where nearby candidates attend physically and distant candidates participate virtually when approved.
