Pre-degree

Tech-U DLC > Pre-degree

Overview

The concessional examination was abolished in 1978 with the implementation of the course unit system in Nigerian universities in the 1977/78 session, and admission to universities was consolidated through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board. Every year, more than one million applicants seek admission to universities that have a capacity of about 250,000. This history sets out the need for a Science Pre-degree Programme that will act as a forum for equipping prospective students for university entry, providing them with a strong head-start and fostering superior university studentship.
