About Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK)

Nnamdi Azikiwe University (commonly called UNIZIK) is a federal university in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs across many faculties — including Arts, Sciences, Law, Engineering, Medicine, Social Sciences, Education, and more. The university is recognized nationally and its degrees are accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).


What UNIZIK’s Post-UTME/Screening Means

1. UNIZIK Uses Screening — Not a Standalone Exam

UNIZIK does not generally conduct a separate written Post-UTME exam like some schools do. What is popularly called “Post-UTME” at UNIZIK is primarily a screening exercise that evaluates candidates’ academic qualifications after the JAMB UTME.

> In recent admission exercises, UNIZIK has moved away from physical CBT exams and uses online screening based on submitted academic records rather than a written test.

How the UNIZIK Screening Works

2. Who Must Apply

To be considered for admission at UNIZIK, UTME candidates must:

Have chosen UNIZIK as their first-choice institution in JAMB.

Have scored at least the minimum JAMB cut-off mark (often 150 or above, but some courses require higher).

Have a valid O’Level result (e.g., WAEC, NECO) with at least five credit passes including English and Mathematics.


Direct Entry (DE) applicants must also submit OND/HND or A-Level results where required.


3. Registration Process

Candidates register for the screening on the official UNIZIK portal: https://apply.unizik.edu.ng.

The usual steps include:

a. Create an application account and validate your JAMB registration number.


b. Upload your O’Level results.


c. Pay the screening fee (around ₦2,000).


d. Submit the form before the deadline.




4. Screening Criteria and Scoring

UNIZIK’s screening isn’t just about paying a fee — it evaluates your academic merit. The university typically combines your UTME score with your O’Level performance to rank applicants for admission.

A common scoring method for recent cycles:

70% from your UTME score

30% from your O’Level results

Bonus points (e.g., single sitting can add points)


So the screening score is not simply a raw exam mark — it’s a calculated aggregate used for admission ranking.



5. Cut-Off Marks

UTME minimum cut-off mark: typically 150 points for general courses.

Competitive courses (like Medicine, Law, Nursing) usually need higher scores (180–200+).


The final admission list is based on the departmental cut-off mark — not just passing the screening.


6. Final Admission

Being eligible and completing the screening registration does not guarantee admission. Admission is based on:

Your aggregate score

Departmental cut-off mark
