It prepares candidates for the UTME and for subsequent admission into approved programmes of the Faculty of Technology and Industrial Studies: it allows them to remedy deficiencies in their SSCE / O'Level results, gives intensive coaching towards the scores the University requires, and guides them through JAMB registration and UTME preparation.
