POLAC Screening Exercise 2025 Timetable

What the screening is about

The Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil–Kano, has called all applicants for the 12th Regular Course to attend its full screening exercise. This will begin on 6th October 2025. It is no small affair, as the screening stretches across computer-based tests, medical checks, physical screening and finally a selection board interview.

For many, this is the main gate to step into the Academy. Missing a step or ignoring a detail could mean a long wait till another year. So it pays to keep an eye on the schedule.

This uniform look helps in easy identification and keeps the process orderly.

Final note of caution

Applicants are reminded to rely only on official announcements and the Polac Admission Portal for updates. The Academy has warned about fake accounts on social media posing as official outlets.
