What Is UNIZIK Supplementary Admission?
UNIZIK supplementary admission is an additional admission exercise that allows applicants who could not meet the required cut-off marks for their initial course to apply for other programmes where vacancies still exist.
The process is open to:
- Candidates who scored 160 and above in JAMB (or the updated cut-off for 2025/2026)
- Candidates who participated in UNIZIK Post-UTME/Screening
- Candidates who did not gain admission in the merit or first batch list
- Candidates willing to change to less competitive courses
This exercise helps fill remaining admission spaces in departments that still have available quotas after processing the merit lists.
