💡 Pro Tip: To secure admission into Auchi Polytechnic, candidates must ensure it is their first choice on JAMB. While a score of 120 qualifies you for the Post-UTME screening, aim for 150+ if you are targeting competitive tech, engineering, or financial courses. Prepare for a physical Computer-Based Test (CBT) and ensure your O'Level results are promptly uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. HND applicants must have their ND transcripts ready and evidence of IT completion.
For Higher National Diploma (HND) admissions, candidates must possess a National Diploma (ND) with a minimum of Lower Credit from a recognized institution, plus evidence of one year mandatory Post-ND Industrial Training (IT). Candidates with a 'Pass' grade require two years of IT experience.
Auchi Poly conducts a Computer-Based Test (CBT) for its Post-UTME screening. Candidates must register online, pay the ₦2,000 screening fee via Remita, and print their screening schedule. Uploading of O'Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal is strictly mandatory for the admission to be processed.
