Polytechnics That Offer Admission Without JAMB (2024/2025)

This post will answer your question of if it’s possible to gain admission to polytechnics without JAMB. Candidates who missed JAMB registrations or failed it may choose to consider polytechnics that give admissions without JAMB UTME.

Gaining admission into polytechnics without JAMB is equally called direct-entry-form-without-JAMB by some folks. It's widely called the daily part-time form. So if you want direct admission, read this post to the end.

What is Admission Without JAMB?

This is the admission that can be gained without obtaining the JAMB form or writing UTME. It means you won’t have to pass through JAMB before being offered admission or you don't need UTME results.

We all know that to gain admission in Nigeria now, candidates must write UTME or obtain a Direct Entry form and produce the required cut-off marks by their proposed institutions. 

For polytechnics, cut-off marks range from 100 to 170. And such an offer may also require writing post-UTME or participating in the online or physical screening.

Whereas, some polytechnics, apart from admissions through JAMB, still offer admissions directly to admission seekers. This is called direct admission or admissions without UTME. This program is popularly known as daily part-time (DPT or DPP).

It’s so-called because admitted candidates will also spend 2 years for their National Diploma (ND) courses like their full-time counterparts (those who entered with JAMB UTME).

The Aftermath of Direct Admission/Daily Part-Time or Admission Without JAMB

If you’re offered admission without JAMB:

1. After you complete your ND, you may need to do JAMB regularization to proceed to the HND level. You won't need the JAMB regularization, however, if you've done the JAMB part-time registration when you're offered admission. 
2. If you wish to further to a university through the direct entry form, the JAMB part-time or the regularization is compulsory
3. You will equally be required to undergo one-year Industrial training if you must proceed to HND. This is equally applicable to your full-time counterparts.
