Second Semester Examinations begins from Monday 21st September, 2026

The Federal Government has approved the takeover of *Higher National Diploma (HND)* admissions by the *Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)*, beginning from the *2026/2027* admission session.

The development was disclosed by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in a circular dated 9 September 2026, following a meeting involving the Federal Ministry of Education, JAMB, NBTE and other relevant stakeholders.

Under the new arrangement, HND admissions across institutions will be processed through JAMB under a centralised system. The move is aimed at addressing illegal and compromised admissions and preventing situations where graduates later face difficulties with NYSC mobilisation because of irregular admissions.

NBTE is expected to develop comprehensive guidelines for HND admissions and submit them to JAMB to guide implementation of the new digital admission platform.

The Federal Ministry of Education is also expected to issue a detailed statement on the new arrangement next week, according to the NBTE circular.

Candidates and prospective HND applicants are advised to await the detailed guidelines and further clarification from the Federal Ministry of Education, JAMB and NBTE before taking action.

DIRECTORATE OF EXAMINATION, MONITORING & RESULTS

*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*

1. Attend *EVERY EXAMINATION* with your *STUDENT IDENTITY CARD* and *EVIDENCE OF FEE PAYMENT*. Excuses will not be entertained in trying to establish your identity as a student of the institution *FROM DAY ONE*.

2. The attendance register in each exam is based on the list of registered students in each programme as contained in the Course Report Form. Extra-Time or Carry-Over students will have to clearly identify themselves in any exam hall.

3. Fill in your student details in the answer booklets provided FIRST upon receiving them. This will help you avoid begging to write these details after submitting same.

4. Exams are scheduled for morning *(9:00 AM – 12:00 NOON)* and afternoon *(1:00 PM – 4:00 PM)*. Students are expected to be at the exam venue on time. The *STUDENT HANDBOOK* mandates that coming to an exam *30 MINUTES AFTER ITS COMMENCEMENT* warrants forfeiture of such an exam.

5. Do not enter any exam hall with anything other than your identifying documents and writing materials. Bags, electronic gadgets (Phones, earpods, electronic watches), belonging to you and found in/around your possession are considered *EXAMINATION MISCONDUCT*, and will be treated accordingly.

6. Check yourself and your surroundings before entering or commencing any exam. Any material relevant to the exam found on your person will be documented as an *EXAMINATION MISCONDUCT*.

7. Complaints concerning an exam should be made *BEFORE THE EXAMINATION* in cases where the course was not taught or fully completed.
*PROTEST INSIDE THE EXAMINATION HALL* is considered a *BREACH OF PEACE* according to the *STUDENT HANDBOOK*. Complaints should be properly channelled to/through the respective *HEAD OF DEPARTMENT* or with *DEMR* on time.

8. No one should write an exam on your behalf, impersonate you, or induce you to write any exam on their behalf. The penalty for *IMPERSONATION is EXPULSION* for the impersonated student and *POLICE ARREST AND EXPULSION* of the impersonator.

9. Resisting an *EXAMINATION MONITORING STAFF* from checking you, fighting, struggling with, or engaging in other forms of misconduct inside an exam hall is an offence, punishable by *EXPULSION*.

10. Changes to the *DATE, VENUE, OR INVIGILATORS* of your exams may be necessary. *DEMR* is authorized to make such changes for convenience, security, or necessity. Whenever such an occasion arises, *DEMR* will communicate such to you through proper channels.

11. Your *COURSE LECTURER* is not expected to invigilate you in any exam he or she is teaching, *EXCEPT BY SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT BY DEMR* (and in *PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS*). He or she is only permitted to explain the question paper within *30 MINUTES AFTER COMMENCEMENT* and *30 MINUTES BEFORE THE END* of the paper.

12. Nobody is allowed to send you out of the exam for non-payment of *DEPARTMENTAL OR ASSOCIATION DUES, TEXTBOOKS, MANUAL, LAB COAT, SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS*, or any other sundry payments.

Once you have paid your *SCHOOL FEES* and have presented such evidence, no other payment(s) is necessary to qualify you for that exam.

Please report any staff checking or sending you out of an exam hall for the above-stated reasons to *DEMR* immediately.

13. You have the right to write your exams in *PEACE AND QUIET*. Please also extend the same courtesy to your fellow students.

Leave the examination venue as soon as you are done or if you are not yet writing. Allow others to have the same peace and quiet they need to successfully write their own papers.

*DON’T HANG AROUND VERANDAHS, HALLWAYS, OR WINDOWS*. You wouldn’t enjoy it if it were you.

Thank you, and wishing you all the best.

"Screening Form, Admission Form or Post UTME form"- These three are one and the same thing.

You can choose to call it any of those three names, so don't get yourself confused.

The screening form you purchased can also be called Admission form. So you don't need to purchase Screening form and Admission form. They're the same thing. Don't get scammed!

To make the admission process clear to everyone once again, here are the steps involved in gaining admission into Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic:

1. SALES OF SCREENING FORM
The Screening Form is currently open for all candidates who wish to study at Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic. Interested candidates are expected to purchase the form.

2. SCREENING
Candidates who have purchased the Screening Form and, for ND candidates, selected Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic as their First Choice on JAMB CAPS, are required to come to the school for physical screening.

Candidates are to visit their respective departments with the documents listed in the Screening Memo.

Screening Date: 9th – 11th September, 2026.

3. ADMISSION LIST
Screening comes before admission.

Many people have been asking whether they need to come for screening if their JAMB CAPS is showing:

- “Admission in Progress”
- “Not Admitted”
- “Admitted”

YES — YOU ARE STILL REQUIRED TO COME FOR SCREENING.

Regardless of what your JAMB CAPS currently displays, candidates who purchased the Screening Form are expected to come for the scheduled screening.

So, don't wait for the admission list before coming for screening. Screening is an important step in the admission process.

I hope this makes the process a little easier for everyone to understand.

Thank you!
