Candidates are strongly advised to complete a key step involving the verification of their academic certificates\u2014or risk losing their admission clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What UNIABUJA Direct Entry Candidates Must Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the university, every Direct Entry applicant must ensure that their certificates are properly verified and uploaded on the <strong>JAMB (NIPEDS) portal<\/strong>. This step is non-negotiable and will determine whether a candidate can be cleared on the UNIABUJA admission system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the process broken down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Return to the institution where you obtained your qualification (First Degree, NCE, A-Level, or equivalent).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request for your certificate to be verified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure the verification is uploaded and approved on the JAMB (NIPEDS) portal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow up with your former institution, as official emails have already been sent regarding this requirement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Failure to comply with these steps will automatically prevent candidates from being cleared on UNIABUJA\u2019s portal, regardless of their scores or other qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Certificate Verification Is Important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, Nigerian universities have tightened their admission procedures to prevent fraud and ensure fairness. UNIABUJA is making it clear that <strong>every certificate must be authenticated directly from the issuing school<\/strong> before it can be accepted. This measure protects both the university and genuine candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Reminder to Direct Entry Applicants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UNIABUJA has emphasized that this process is not mere routine paperwork\u2014it is a critical part of the admission journey. Candidates are urged to act immediately, verify their documents, and confirm that their details reflect accurately on the JAMB system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, securing admission is not just about passing exams but also about completing every requirement. As UNIABUJA warns, \u201ca small oversight can cost you a big opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/examkits.com\/blog\/uniabuja-opens-2025-2026-postgraduate-admissions-in-security-and-legal-studies\/\">UNIABUJA Opens 2025\/2026 Postgraduate Admissions in Security and Legal Studies<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) has issued a crucial notice to all Direct Entry (DE)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[600],"tags":[18434,12304,18432,18433,12321],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
