UNIZIK Supplementary Admission Guide for 2025/2026 Academic Session

by

UNIZIK Supplementary Admission Guide-Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has opened another admission window for candidates seeking a second chance to secure a place for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The institution has officially announced the commencement of its supplementary admission sales, creating an opportunity for UTME candidates who have already completed the main PUTME registration but were not offered placement during the initial selection round.

This supplementary exercise is strictly time-bound and will run until 3:00 pm WAT on Friday, 5 December 2025. Only candidates who have not yet been offered admission into any programme are eligible to participate. According to the university, this measure ensures fairness and prevents duplication of admissions across departments.

Understanding How UNIZIK Supplementary Admission Works

The supplementary admission process at UNIZIK, sometimes referred to as “shopping,” is designed to help candidates transition into available programmes that still have open slots after the main admission list has been processed. Instead of waiting another year or restarting the application cycle, students can select another course that aligns with their UTME subject combination and O’level qualifications.

However, applicants should be aware of the following important guidelines before applying:

Regularly Monitor JAMB CAPS for Transfer Options

UNIZIK uses the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) to issue proposed changes of course. If your name appears on the “Transfer Approval” section, you must accept the offer immediately. Delays or failure to accept the recommendation can automatically disqualify you from being considered.

Ensure Your O’level Results Are Properly Uploaded

Candidates must confirm that their complete and accurate O’level grades (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) are uploaded to JAMB CAPS. Any mistake or missing subject can hinder admission, even if you meet the programme requirements.

Remember That Internal Transfer Is Allowed But Only After Two Academic Sessions

The university has clarified that intra-university transfer (moving from one department to another after admission) is allowed but only after two full years of study. Therefore, students hoping to change departments after gaining admission must meet this rule.

Supplementary Admission Covers a Wide Range of Courses

The programmes available for the 2025/2026 supplementary round are extensive, spanning education, arts, humanities, sciences, engineering, environmental studies, management, medical sciences, and emerging digital fields. This ensures that applicants have more than enough alternatives to choose from.

Step-by-Step Guide for Using the UNIZIK Supplementary Admission Portal

The supplementary portal is designed to operate within a controlled time frame to reduce congestion, increase fairness, and prevent system overload. Anyone planning to use it must take note of these strict operational rules:

Visit the Official Application Portal

Candidates must begin the process through the official UNIZIK supplementary admission link. Only submissions made on the approved page will be recognised.

Admission Status Check Required

If you have already been offered admission into any department, whether through merit, catchment, or supplementary, you will not be allowed to proceed. The portal automatically filters such candidates out.

Controlled Queueing System

To prevent heavy server traffic, the university uses a digital waiting room system:

  • Only 1,000 candidates can access the portal at a time.

  • Others are automatically placed in a virtual queue until a slot opens.

  • The system arranges candidates based on arrival time.

This method ensures fairness and smoother processing for everyone.

Each User Has Only 5 Minutes to Complete the Application

As soon as a candidate enters the portal, a countdown timer begins. You must complete all selections within five minutes, after which the system logs you out and moves you back to the waiting area.

This time limit has been introduced to allow more users access and reduce portal congestion.

Queue Number Must Be Monitored Carefully

Candidates waiting for their turn will see their queue position on the screen. It updates automatically as more users exit the portal. Once it is almost your turn, keep your device active and stable.

You May Choose Up to Three Programmes

However, there are conditions:

  • Candidates can shop for a maximum of three courses.

  • Only one of these three can be a professional course (Medicine, Surgery, Nursing, Law, etc.).

  • Choose programmes that match your UTME subjects and O’level grades.

  • Higher-competition courses may require stronger scores.

This flexibility gives candidates a better chance of securing a slot.

Final Thoughts

The UNIZIK supplementary admission process for the 2025/2026 academic session offers a valuable opportunity for candidates who were not admitted during the main round to secure placement into alternative programmes.

With hundreds of courses available across different faculties, applicants have a realistic pathway to start their academic journey without losing a full year.

By following the rules, monitoring JAMB CAPS closely, ensuring your documents are correctly uploaded, and selecting suitable programmes, you significantly increase your chances of gaining admission.
