Estimated Timeon Kairos Polytechnic School Fees for 2026/2027 Session

1. Acceptance Fee (Freshers Only)

Before you pay your main tuition, you must validate your admission. Once your name appears on the admission list (or you receive your admission text), you are required to pay a non-refundable Acceptance Fee.

• Projected Amount: ₦20,000 – ₦30,000.

• Status: Strictly Non-Refundable.

• Deadline: Usually 2 weeks after the admission offer.

• Warning: If you do not pay this fee within the stipulated time, the management may revoke your slot.

2. Tuition & Registration Fees Breakdown (2026/2027)

Timeon Kairos Polytechnic is a private institution, meaning it is funded by tuition. However, it is generally considered affordable compared to private universities, and its biggest advantage is the ability to pay in installments.

A. National Diploma (ND) Fees

• Projected Tuition: ₦80,000 – ₦120,000 per semester.

• Session Total: Approx. ₦160,000 – ₦240,000 per session.

• Installment Plan: The school is very understanding. You are usually allowed to pay roughly 60% (First Semester) to register and the balance in the Second Semester.

• Departments: Accountancy, Business Administration, Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mass Communication, Banking & Finance.

• Note: Engineering and Computer Science students should budget towards the higher end due to Practical/Workshop Levies.

B. Higher National Diploma (HND) Fees

• Projected Tuition: ₦100,000 – ₦130,000 per semester.

• Why Higher? HND programs are more advanced and require more technical supervision.

• Note: Always verify the current accreditation status of your specific HND course at the Admin Office before making payment, as private polytechnics sometimes have fluctuating accreditation for senior programs.

3. Accommodation (The “Abule Egba” Reality)

Timeon Kairos Polytechnic is an Urban Campus. It is located along a major expressway (Lagos-Abeokuta) in a densely populated commercial area (Katangowa).

• School Hostel:

  • Status: The school has limited to no official “campus hostel” in the traditional sense. Most students live Off-Campus.

• Off-Campus (Abule Egba / Meiran / Alagbado):

  • Most students rent apartments in the surrounding streets of Abule Egba, Meiran, or Ile-Epo.

    • Single Room: ₦80,000 – ₦150,000 per year.

    • Self-Contained: ₦250,000 – ₦400,000 per year.
