* The Federal University of Petroleum Resources is among the institutions that don't provide data on acceptance rates. This might happen because the university has programs where applicants only need to meet admission requirements to enroll and don't necessarily compete with others.

We estimate the above acceptance rate based on admission statistics of closely ranked nearby universities with similar research profiles that do publish such data.

Acceptance rate & Admissions

Admissions RequirementsAdmissions through the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB); For admission to 100 level, candidates must possess five (5) credit passes at Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) or equivalent in relevant subjects in only one sittings; and obtain a minimum of 200 points in University Matriculation Examination. All candidates who score above 200 UME and choose FUPRE as either first or second choice are further invited to a Post University Matriculation Examination (PUME) of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun. FUPRE Post University Matriculation Examination (PUME) is a two stage (written and oral) assessment process
