Key Tips to Improve Your Admission Chances
- Aim Above the Cut-Off: Scoring significantly above the minimum cut-off mark, especially for competitive courses like Petroleum Engineering (210) and Chemical Engineering (200), gives you an edge in the admission process.
- Prepare for Post-UTME: Review past screening questions, focus on core science subjects, and manage your time effectively during the exam.
- Verify Your O’Level Results: Ensure you meet subject requirements and upload your results correctly to the JAMB portal.
- Stay Informed: Regularly visit the FUPRE official website and the JAMB portal for updates on Post-UTME release dates, application deadlines, and any changes to the admission process.
With proper planning, focused preparation, and meeting all outlined criteria, you can maximize your chances of gaining admission into your desired undergraduate program at FUPRE. Good luck on your journey to joining one of Nigeria’s premier universities for petroleum resources education!
