Direct Entry candidates are also eligible to participate in the screening exercise.
Accepted qualifications include:
- OND
- HND

The qualification presented must be relevant to the candidate’s chosen course of study. IMSU will only process applications that match the admission requirements for the selected discipline.

Candidates awaiting WAEC, NECO or other qualifying results should upload them immediately after release. According to IMSU, candidates whose O’Level results are not uploaded on JAMB CAPS will not be considered for admission.
This step is compulsory for both UTME and Direct Entry applicants.
