Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into ESUT, you need to navigate their specific requirements:

1. The “Cut-Off” Reality

• General Cut-Off: ESUT officially sets a minimum cut-off of 160.

• The “Professional” Jump: Do not apply for Medicine, Law, Nursing, or Pharmacy with 160. You will likely be denied or pushed to another course.

  • Medicine/Law: Target 240+.

  • Nursing/Pharmacy: Target 220+.

  • Med Lab/Engineering: Target 180 – 200.

2. Catchment Area Strategy

• ESUT is state-owned. Enugu State indigenes get priority admission (catchment).

• Non-Indigenes: You are very welcome (ESUT is cosmopolitan), but if you are applying for competitive courses, ensure your JAMB score is high enough to compete on the Merit List (the 45% quota open to everyone).

3. Supplementary Admission

• ESUT is known for running a transparent Supplementary Admission process. If you miss the primary merit list, keep an eye on the portal. You can often purchase a supplementary form to switch to a related, less competitive course (e.g., from Medicine to Anatomy, or Law to Sociology).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
