Usmanu Danfodio University Sokoto, commonly known as UDUS, is one of the premier federal universities in Northern Nigeria, renowned for its peaceful environment. Each year, a diverse group of students from across the nation, representing various ethnicities, aspires to secure admission to this institution. Admission into UDUS involves several key processes, catering to both Jamb and Direct Entry (D.E.) candidates.
O-Level Requirements:
To gain admission to UDUS, you must possess a minimum of five credits in relevant subjects during your O-level examinations. It’s crucial that Mathematics and English language are among these subjects. UDUS does accept two sittings for O-level exams.
Choosing UDUS as Your First Choice:
In this competitive environment, it’s essential to select UDUS as your first choice of institution when registering for Jamb. The university receives a high volume of applications, and positioning UDUS as your top choice enhances your chances of securing a seat.
Subject Combinations:
Understanding the correct subject combination for your desired course at UDUS is vital. An incorrect combination could jeopardize your admission prospects. To determine the right subjects, consult the official brochure provided by Jamb; this ensures you don’t accidentally select subjects that are incompatible with your intended course.
Direct Entry (D.E.) Candidates:
For D.E. candidates, admission into UDUS typically places you in the 200 level of your chosen program. However, it’s important to note that UDUS may not admit D.E. candidates to certain courses, such as Medicine.
Post UTME:
As of the present moment, UDUS does not conduct Post UTME screenings. Admission to UDUS is primarily based on your O-level results and Jamb scores. Therefore, to check your admission status, regularly monitor your Jamb portal and the university’s admission portal. Once admitted, you will need to visit the university with the required documents to confirm your admission and officially become a student of UDUS.
