The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has released the JUPEB admission form for the 2026/2027 academic session. The programme gives qualified candidates a route into 200 level at UNIBEN or other universities that accept JUPEB results.
Candidates who already have the required O’Level credits can apply through the university portal. Those without complete O’Level results do not qualify for this admission cycle.
What Is UNIBEN JUPEB?
JUPEB means Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board. It is a one-year pre-degree programme for candidates who want direct entry admission into 200 level.
UNIBEN runs the programme for candidates preparing for university courses in fields such as Agriculture, Arts, Education, Engineering, Physical Sciences, Law, Life Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Basic Medical Sciences, Management Sciences and Social Sciences. The result can also support admission into other universities that accept JUPEB, including some universities outside Nigeria.
The idea is simple; candidates study approved subject combinations, write the JUPEB examinations, and use successful results for direct entry admission.
Who Can Apply for UNIBEN JUPEB Admission?
Candidates must have at least five O’Level credit passes. English Language and Mathematics must be part of the credits.
The acceptable O’Level results include:
- WAEC
- NECO
- NABTEB
- GCE
UNIBEN accepts results from not more than two sittings. Candidates without the required O’Level credits should not apply for this session.
How Long Does the UNIBEN JUPEB Programme Last?
The programme runs for one full academic session. UNIBEN divides the session into two semesters.
Classes hold from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm. The programme is non-residential, so candidates who do not live in Benin City need to arrange accommodation before resumption.
What Will Students Study During the Programme?
Each candidate chooses three subjects that match the intended university course. For Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Basic Medical Sciences, the subject combination is Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Each subject contains four courses, so candidates take twelve subject courses in total. They also take two general studies courses, one in each semester.
This structure helps candidates prepare for JUPEB examinations and the 200-level admission route.
What Are the UNIBEN JUPEB Subject Combinations?
Candidates must choose the subject combination that matches their intended degree path. A wrong choice can affect direct entry plans, so applicants should check the programme, subjects, code and department before filling the form.
