How to check your eligibility for NUAB admission
To check if you are eligible for admission into NUAB, you will need to calculate your UTME score and your post-UTME screening test score. You can calculate your UTME score by adding up your scores for the four subjects you sat for. You can calculate your post-UTME screening test score by multiplying your score by the percentage weight given to the test by NUAB.
Once you have calculated your scores, you can compare them to the NUAB cut-off marks for your desired course of study. If your scores are above or equal to the cut-off marks, then you are eligible to apply for admission into NUAB.
How to apply for NUAB admission
To apply for admission into NUAB, you will need to create an account on the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) portal. Once you have created an account, you will need to log in and complete the online application form. You will also need to pay the application fee and upload the required documents.
The deadline for submitting applications for NUAB admission is usually in August. However, it is advisable to check the NUAB website regularly for updates on the application deadline.
What are the chances of getting admission into NUAB?
The chances of getting admission into NUAB depend on a number of factors, including your UTME score, your post-UTME screening test score, and the number of applicants for your desired course of study.
If you have a high UTME score and a high post-UTME screening test score, then you are more likely to get admission into NUAB. However, even if you have high scores, there is no guarantee that you will get admission, as the number of applicants for each course is usually very high.
What to do if you don’t meet the NUAB cut-off mark
If you don’t meet the NUAB cut-off mark for your desired course of study, there are a few things you can do. You can try applying for admission into another course with a lower cut-off mark. You can also consider applying to a different polytechnic or university.
The NUAB cut-off marks for the 2023/2024 academic session are designed to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are admitted into the polytechnic. If you are interested in applying for admission into NUAB, I encourage you to start preparing early and to do your research to ensure that you are eligible for admission.
