Ebonyi State University has opened its Pre-Degree Programme admission form for the 2026/2027 session, giving aspirants who fall short of direct entry requirements a structured route into the university. The programme runs for one academic year and doubles as preparation for JAMB/UTME, O’Level remediation, and dedicated ICT training.
Candidates who perform well in the EBSU Pre-Degree internal test, and who also attain the national minimum UTME score, qualify for consideration into any of EBSU’s main degree programs.
The programme is not a substitute for O’Level requirements needed for entry into the main degree courses. It instead supports students still working toward those results while giving them a head start in ICT skills.
