Direct Entry (DE) admission is the gateway for JUPEB, IJMB, OND, and HND holders to secure admission straight into the 200 Level of their target curriculum. For Engineering and Sciences, JUPEB is the most common entry pathway at UNILAG. You must present high points (usually 12-15 points across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) to stand a chance. Learn about the document registration timeline, transcript routing, and the screening exams sometimes requested by individual departments.
