Admission Hack

When applying online, you can pay your application fee directly via the Interswitch portal or print an invoice to pay via PayDirect at any commercial bank. If you are applying for the Evening Programme to work while studying, rest assured that you will still be mobilized for NYSC upon HND graduation—a major advantage over the Weekend Programme.

Campus Survival

Hostel accommodation is optional and operates strictly on a first-come, first-served basis across the campuses. Since the campuses are distributed across different LGAs (Omuma, Orlu, Mbano, Ikeduru), it is critical to confirm the exact location of your Faculty before paying for any off-campus housing.
