Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into BellsTech, you need to navigate their unique opportunities:

1. The “Tuition-Free” Secret

• Every admission cycle, the university releases a list of courses (usually in Agriculture, Agric Engineering, and sometimes Physics) that are Tuition-Free courtesy of the Bells University Parents’ Forum (BUPF) or external endowments.

• Tip: If funds are tight, apply for these courses. You get the same prestigious BellsTech degree for a fraction of the cost (you only pay acceptance and miscellaneous fees).

2. The “Technology” Requirement

• Because it is a “University of Technology,” all students (even in Management) are expected to take basic Computer and Tech courses.

• O-Level: For Management courses like Accounting, having a credit in Economics is compulsory, but a credit in Physics or Chemistry is not usually required (though advantageous).

3. Direct Entry (DE) & JUPEB

• BellsTech accepts JUPEB and IJMB. They run a robust Foundation Programme. If you have a low JAMB score, the Foundation Programme is a guaranteed route into 200 Level.
