Things You Should Know

First, a small but important point: UNIZIK and NAU are the same school — Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Don’t let anybody confuse you with “two different forms.” There’s one.

UNIZIK admits strictly on merit through UTME and Direct Entry, and every candidate goes through a screening. Details change yearly, so confirm the final word on the official UNIZIK portal.

Eligibility

You can apply if:

You chose UNIZIK (NAU) as your first choice in the 2026 UTME.
You scored at least the minimum cut-off UNIZIK pegged its general mark at 160 for 2026/2027 (some faculties ask for more).
You have the required O’level credits in relevant subjects, including English and Mathematics where needed.
Direct Entry candidates with OND/HND/First Degree or A’Level in relevant fields can also apply.

If you didn’t pick UNIZIK first but scored well, you may still apply after doing a change of institution at a JAMB CBT centre.

What Most People Don’t Know: How Your Aggregate Is Calculated

Here’s the part that catches people. UNIZIK works out your aggregate on a 70:30 ratio:

70% comes from your UTME score
30% comes from your O’level result

So your O’level grades genuinely matter. Two students with the same JAMB score can end up with different aggregates because of O’level. Keep that in mind.

Step-by-Step Guide: How To Apply

Visit the official UNIZIK site at unizik.edu.ng and open the Post-UTME/screening section.
Log in and confirm your JAMB details.
Generate your payment and pay the screening fee through the portal.
Fill your form, entering your O’level grades correctly.
Submit and print your acknowledgment.
Watch the portal for your screening and admission update.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

Not registering online UNIZIK says candidates who didn’t register won’t be screened.
Forgetting your O’level weight in the aggregate.
Not doing change of institution when UNIZIK wasn’t your first choice.
Trusting a “WhatsApp admin” who promises guaranteed admission for cash.

Insider Tips

Register online, full stop. No registration, no screening.
Take your O’level serious — it’s 30% of your aggregate.
Confirm your faculty cut-off, not just the 160 general mark.
Use only unizik.edu.ng. Bookmark it now.
Keep your details matching JAMB exactly.
