EKSU Admission Requirements 2026
Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, is the main state university for Ekiti State. It’s a reasonably well-run institution that has improved significantly in the last decade, and for students from Ekiti or the broader South-West who want a more accessible admission route than UNILAG or OAU, EKSU is worth serious consideration. Here’s what you need to know for 2026.
About Ekiti State University
EKSU was established in 1982 (originally as University of Ife, Ado-Ekiti Campus, then University of Lagos, Ado-Ekiti before becoming a state institution). It’s located in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital. The university offers programs in Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Law, Education, Engineering, Agriculture, and Management Sciences.
EKSU JAMB Cut Off Mark 2026
The minimum JAMB cut off for EKSU is 180. For most programs, scoring 195 to 220 puts you in a good position. Law, Medicine, and Pharmacy are the most competitive programs and typically require 230 and above. Ekiti State indigenes generally have a slight advantage given that a portion of slots is reserved at state universities.
O’Level Requirements
Five credit passes including English Language in not more than two sittings. Science and Engineering programs need Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and relevant science subjects. Law needs English and four other subjects at credit. Social Sciences need English, Mathematics, Economics, and two relevant subjects. Education programs typically need the relevant subject combination for the discipline being studied.
EKSU Post UTME 2026
EKSU runs a Post UTME aptitude test for eligible first-choice candidates. Registration opens on the official EKSU admissions portal after JAMB releases results. The test is typically CBT-based and covers subjects relevant to your faculty. Fees are modest. After registration, you’ll receive a screening slip — don’t lose it. Bring it along with your JAMB result and valid ID on exam day.

Medicine: 250 and above. Law: 230 and above. Pharmacy: 230 and above. Computer Science: 205 and above. Engineering: 200 to 215. Accounting: 195 to 200. Social Sciences and Arts: 185 to 195. Education: 180 to 185.
