Overview

Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) is a premier state-owned university established in 1980 as the first university of technology in Nigeria. Deeply committed to the advancement of science and industry, ESUT uniquely structures its faculties to meet market demands and offers a comprehensive suite of academic pathways ranging from standard undergraduate degrees to JUPEB, Pre-Degree, and a specialized Mature Student Programme.

The Agbani main campus offers a vibrant, tech-driven academic environment equipped with functional laboratories and a robust Learning Management System (LMS) for Open & Distance Learning. It maintains a strict academic calendar and emphasizes discipline, requiring all students to clear their fees promptly.

💡 Pro Tip: Admission into ESUT relies heavily on its tiered cut-off marks. While general courses require a 160 JAMB score, highly competitive programs like Medicine, Law, and Pharmacy demand 220 to 240. If your UTME score is too low, you can leverage the ESUT Pre-Degree or JUPEB programmes to secure admission. Because the regular screening is 100% online, your admission depends completely on accurately uploading your O'Level results to JAMB CAPS and ensuring all your names match perfectly.

Admission Requirements

Candidates must select ESUT as their first choice institution and meet the specific cut-off mark for their proposed course. Applicants must possess at least five (5) O'Level credit passes in relevant subjects, including Mathematics and English Language, in not more than two (2) sittings. Awaiting results are accepted provided they are uploaded before the admission window closes.

Direct Entry Rules

Direct Entry candidates must choose ESUT as their first choice and apply online. Candidates must have at least two A'Level passes, plus five O'Level credits, or an equivalent qualification (such as an ND/HND with the requisite grade, or JUPEB). Transcripts must be forwarded directly to the ESUT Registrar.

Post UTME Screening Format

ESUT conducts a strictly online Post-UTME screening exercise; candidates are NOT required to appear for a physical screening or aptitude test. If candidates miss the primary admission list, ESUT typically opens a Supplementary Admission window (usually requiring a non-refundable application fee of ₦10,600 via the portal) for programs that still have carrying capacity.
