Does Kwara Poly Write Post UTME or Screening?
KWARAPOLY conducts a Pre-Admission Screening exercise rather than a traditional written Post UTME exam. For ND Full-Time candidates, the process involves submitting your application online and going through a credentials verification stage. The school confirmed in recent sessions that candidates are not required to be physically present for the screening exercise itself, which means the process leans heavily on your JAMB score, O'Level results, and application data.
However, you must ensure all your results are accurately uploaded and your O'Level credentials are on JAMB CAPS. Any candidate whose results are not properly uploaded risks being excluded from the admission consideration.
