GSU Opens New B.Sc. Logistics and Supply Chain Management Programme
Gombe State University (GSU) has secured NUC approval to launch a B.Sc. Logistics and Supply Chain Management degree, making it the second institution in Northern Nigeria to offer this course. Therefore, candidates who haven’t yet received admission to GSU are encouraged to change course via JAMB.
Who Should Consider Changing to Logistics at GSU?
You should change course if you:
- Applied to GSU for 2026/2027 but haven’t been admitted yet
- Have uploaded your O’Level examination results
- Completed both physical and online screening
- Meet the required subjects: English, Mathematics, Economics, and two other relevant non-science subjects
Use the JAMB change of course procedure on the JAMB portal to switch programmes immediately.
UNIMAID Second-Batch UTME Admission List Now Available
The University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has released its second batch of UTME admissions for 2026/2027. This announcement came on 26 October 2026 and covers candidates who scored well enough to advance to the next admission batch.
Steps to Accept Your UNIMAID Admission Offer
- Visit the official UNIMAID website and locate the 2nd Batch UTME 2026/2027 Admission link
- Check the list for your name and programme
- Log in to the JAMB e-Facility portal and access your CAPS account
- Review and accept your admission offer
- Print your JAMB admission letter for registration purposes
In addition, ensure your O’Level results are correctly uploaded to JAMB and monitor your CAPS status regularly. A name on the university list doesn’t replace the JAMB CAPS acceptance process—both steps are mandatory.
What Admitted Candidates Must Do Now
Once your name appears on any admission list, the clock starts ticking. Successful candidates are expected to:
- Complete acceptance procedures within the given deadline
- Attend physical and online clearance sessions as directed
- Upload any additional documents requested by your institution
- Register for courses before the academic session begins
Furthermore, watch out for scammers. Many fake agents claim they can guarantee admission or speed up the process—they cannot. Always communicate only through official university portals and JAMB channels.
Candidates Not on Current Lists—Don’t Give Up
If your name is missing from these batches, remember that admission releases happen in stages. Most Nigerian universities release first, second, third, and sometimes fourth-batch lists throughout the academic session. Check the complete list of schools with admission released to track updates from other institutions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do I have to accept my admission offer after seeing my name on the list?
Deadlines vary by institution. Federal Polytechnic Ukana, GSU, and UNIMAID each set their own acceptance periods. Always check the official announcement for your specific institution’s deadline. Missing the deadline can result in your offer being withdrawn, so act quickly once you verify your name.
What’s the difference between checking the university list and accepting on JAMB CAPS?
The university list confirms you’ve been offered admission. However, you must still log into JAMB CAPS to formally accept that offer. Only after accepting on JAMB CAPS will you receive your official admission letter. Skipping the JAMB CAPS step could invalidate your admission.
If I wasn’t admitted in the first batch, can I still get in through later batches?
Yes. Universities release admission in multiple batches based on available spaces and candidate scores. If you meet the institution’s cutoff mark and haven’t been admitted yet, your name could appear in the second, third, or even fourth batch. Keep checking official portals regularly.
