Overview

Ekiti State University (EKSU), formerly known as the University of Ado-Ekiti (UNAD), is a highly sought-after state government-owned university in Nigeria. Established in 1982, it has grown into a massive academic hub recognized for producing top-tier graduates across fields like Law, Medicine, Sciences, and the Humanities.

Situated on a sprawling campus along Iworoko Road in Ado-Ekiti, EKSU boasts a vibrant student community. The university provides a blend of academic rigor and rich extracurricular engagement, with relatively affordable living costs in the surrounding host communities.

💡 Pro Tip: If you want to gain admission into EKSU, ensure you strictly adhere to the specific course O'Level requirements listed in their brochure.

Direct Entry Rules

Direct Entry candidates must possess ND/HND with a minimum of Lower Credit (Upper Credit for Engineering), NCE with Merit in relevant subjects, or JUPEB (minimum of 7 points). EKSU does NOT accept IJMB.

Post UTME Screening Format
