KWASU Announces Major Admission Update as 2026/2027 Session Progresses

The Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has commenced preparations for the 2026/2027 academic session, with fresh developments concerning undergraduate admission and newly approved programmes. The university had earlier invited qualified UTME and Direct Entry candidates to participate in its 2026/2027 undergraduate pre-admission registration and screening exercise. According to the university’s official admission information, the exercise was open to candidates who selected KWASU as their first-choice institution, as well as candidates willing to change their institution of choice to KWASU through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). The university stated that admission consideration would be based on an aggregate of candidates’ UTME/Direct Entry scores and relevant O’Level results. Candidates were required to possess five relevant O’Level credits at not more than two sittings, with specific requirements applying to some programmes. One of the major developments at the institution is the approval of 24 new academic programmes by the National Universities Commission (NUC), with the programmes approved for take-off from the 2026/2027 academic session. The university said the approval covers 14 undergraduate and 10 postgraduate programmes, expanding the range of courses available to prospective students. Among the newly approved undergraduate programmes are Nursing Science, Architecture, Quantity Surveying, Surveying and Geoinformatics, Educational Technology, Guidance and Counselling, and Health Education. The development is expected to provide additional academic options for students seeking admission into KWASU. Prospective students are advised to rely on KWASU’s official website and admission channels for updates concerning admission lists, screening, registration, acceptance fees and other requirements. The university’s Admissions Office says successful candidates are expected to accept their admission through JAMB CAPS and complete the necessary admission and registration procedures. Candidates should also be careful with unofficial admission information and avoid making payments based solely on messages circulating on social media. As the 2026/2027 academic session moves forward, prospective KWASU students are encouraged to monitor official announcements closely and ensure that all admission requirements are completed within the stipulated timelines.
