This category of applicants must have Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) or its equivalent. Depending on additional qualification possed by an applicant, there are three ways to apply.
UNIFIED TERTIARY MATRICULATION EXAMINATION (UTME)
Prospective candidates must have sat for the UTME Examinations, must have applied for a course in Federal Polytechnic Nyek Shendam, and must have scored an aggregate to be determined by the University before they are deemed eligible in subjects relevant to the program applied for.
Prospective candidates must have obtained a minimum of Five (5) passes at Credit level in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE or Equivalent) conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) or the National Examinations Council (NECO) in not more than two (2) sittings, including a pass at credit level in both English and Mathematics and other subjects relevant to the candidate’s chosen field of study. They would then be required to register and write a test (Post-UTME) which is conducted by the University.
I sincerely appreciate the effort of the previous Government of seeing that the federal polytechnic Nyak is in order.
