Ebonyi State University (EBSU) JUPEB Admission Form For 2025
If you’re looking for a shortcut to gaining university admission without going through JAMB, here’s some good news from Ebonyi State University (EBSU), Abakaliki.
The university has begun the sale of application forms for its Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) Programme for the 2025/2026 academic session.
This programme is designed for students who want to skip the UTME hurdle and move straight into 200 level at EBSU or any other JUPEB-affiliated university.
Let’s break down everything you need to know.
What Is JUPEB and Why Does It Matter?
JUPEB is a one-year academic programme approved by the Federal Government and coordinated by the University of Lagos.
It’s an alternative pathway that allows students to secure Direct Entry admission into 200-level courses at Nigerian universities — without writing JAMB.
At the end of the programme, you’ll receive a JUPEB certificate. With that, you can apply for Direct Entry admission into various undergraduate programmes across the country, including top courses like Medicine, Pharmacy, Law, Engineering, and more.
Who Can Apply?
If you’ve got at least five O’Level credits, including English Language and Mathematics, from WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or GCE, you’re eligible. Just make sure you passed them in no more than two sittings.
You’ll also need to choose three subjects that align with your desired university course. These will be your focus areas during the JUPEB programme.
