Important Warnings on UNIZIK Admission Scams

Nnamdi Azikiwe University strictly adheres to merit, catchment, and educationally less developed states (ELDS) guidelines.

Admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University is strictly based on performance. UNIZIK does not sell admission slots, nor does it employ agents or third-party representatives. Never pay money to any individual claiming to guarantee your name on the UNIZIK Admission List. All legitimate payments must be made strictly through the official Remita platform generated via the school portal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is the UNIZIK Admission List for 2026/2027 officially out?

Yes, Nnamdi Azikiwe University has commenced uploading names of successful candidates for the 2026/2027 academic session onto JAMB CAPS and the UNIZIK official school portal.

2. How can I check my name on the UNIZIK Admission List without an email?

You can check your status via the official UNIZIK portal at [https://myedu.unizik.edu.ng/](https://myedu.unizik.edu.ng/) using only your JAMB Registration Number. However, to accept the offer on JAMB CAPS, you need access to your registered JAMB email or phone number.

3. What should I do if JAMB CAPS shows “Admitted” but the UNIZIK portal shows “Not Admitted”?

JAMB CAPS is updated first before the UNIZIK portal database synchronization completes. If JAMB CAPS displays “Admitted”, rest assured that your UNIZIK portal status will update automatically within a few days.

4. How long do I have to accept my offer on the UNIZIK Admission List?

Admitted candidates are given a window of four (4) weeks from the date of release to accept their provisional offer on JAMB CAPS. Failure to accept within this period may result in forfeiture of the admission offer.

5. Can I gain admission into UNIZIK if I did not upload my O’Level results?

No. UNIZIK will not offer admission to any candidate who fails to upload verified O’Level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) on the JAMB CAPS portal. Ensure your results are uploaded at an accredited JAMB CBT center.

6. What is the next step if my status displays “Admission in Progress”?

If your status reads “Admission in Progress”, your application is currently being processed by the university admissions committee. Do not attempt to alter your course choices; check back regularly as the status will soon change to “Congratulations”.

7. How much is the UNIZIK acceptance fee for the 2026/2027 session?

The official UNIZIK acceptance fee amount and invoice generation details are displayed directly on your student profile upon logging into [https://myedu.unizik.edu.ng/](https://myedu.unizik.edu.ng/). Payments are made exclusively via Remita.

8. What happens if I am offered a different course from the one I applied for?

If UNIZIK transfers you to another department (such as moving from Medicine to Anatomy or Law to History), you will see a Transfer Approval notification on your JAMB CAPS. You must accept this transfer on JAMB CAPS and subsequently visit an accredited JAMB CBT center to perform an official JAMB Change of Course so that your new department reflects on your final JAMB Admission Letter.

9. What is the UNIZIK general UTME cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 session?

Nnamdi Azikiwe University sets a minimum general UTME cut-off score of 160 to be eligible for Post-UTME screening. However, competitive courses like Medicine & Surgery (300+), Law (270+), Nursing Science (260+), and Engineering (220+) require significantly higher aggregate performance. Meeting the minimum threshold of 160 qualifies you to purchase the screening form, but admission is offered based on merit aggregate scores.

10. Can I pay the UNIZIK acceptance fee before my name appears on JAMB CAPS?

No, you should never attempt to pay the acceptance fee until your name is formally verified on the UNIZIK Admission List via JAMB CAPS or the official UNIZIK portal ([https://myedu.unizik.edu.ng/](https://myedu.unizik.edu.ng/)). Generating an RRR invoice without an official admission status on your profile can lead to non-refundable payment errors or unlinked administrative transactions. Always confirm your provisional admission offer first.

Conclusion

Securing your place on the UNIZIK Admission List for the 2026/2027 academic session is a significant achievement. Ensure you act quickly by logging in to JAMB CAPS to accept your offer, generating your RRR invoice on the official UNIZIK portal, and paying your acceptance fee on time to retain your seat. Keep your documents organized for physical clearance, visit only official portals, and avoid fraudulent individuals claiming to offer illegal admission assistance. Congratulations to all successful applicants joining the Great Zikites.
