University of Lagos (UNILAG)
UNILAG Announces Teaching Practice Orientation for 2025/2026

The University of Lagos Faculty of Education will hold its Teaching Practice Orientation on Wednesday, 10th September 2025. Over two thousand students are expected to join the 12-week exercise. Full details of the venue, time, and theme are inside.

The Faculty of Education, University of Lagos (UNILAG), has announced the schedule for its Teaching Practice Orientation Programme for the 2025/2026 academic year.

The event is set for Wednesday, September 10, 2025, starting at 10:00 a.m., and will take place at the Jelili Omotola Multipurpose Hall B on the UNILAG campus.

About the Orientation

This annual gathering is more than a ceremony. It is the point where classroom theory shakes hands with real-world practice. The theme for this year is “The Teaching Profession in the 21st Century: Between Theoretical Studies and Practical Realities.”

It serves as the formal launch for the teaching practice exercise involving final-year (400 level) students of the Faculty of Education.

Number of Participants

This year, the figures are eye-catching. A total of 2,170 student-teachers will step into the programme. Each of them is expected to complete a 12-week exercise that blends observation, classroom management, and actual teaching.

Nnamdi Azikiwe University UNIZIK
How to Calculate Your UNIZIK 2025/2026 Post UTME Screening Score

Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka has released the official formula for calculating admission scores for the 2025/2026 screening. The process combines UTME and O’level grades with a set ratio and bonus marks. Candidates are urged to upload results correctly to both JAMB CAPS and UNIZIK portals.

The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka has made public the formula it will apply in admitting students for the 2025/2026 academic session. This method will affect Post-UTME, Direct Entry, and other related screenings.

It is an automated system that mixes UTME scores with O’level results in a set ratio, giving everyone a fair shot. But it is also strict, so missing steps may cost an applicant their place.

Key Instructions for Candidates

Applicants are expected to:

  • Upload their O’level results to the JAMB CAPS Portal only at JAMB-accredited CBT centres or offices.
  • Avoid regular cyber cafés, as results from such places may not be recognised.
  • Ensure the same O’level results are uploaded on both JAMB CAPS and the UNIZIK portal.

Skipping any of these could lead to disqualification, so attention to detail matters.

How the UNIZIK Admission Formula Works

The screening pulls data from two areas, UTME scores and O’level grades, then blends them using a ratio.

  • Ratio applied: 70% UTME score and 30% O’level score.
  • Grading of O’level results:
    • A1 = 90
    • B2 = 80
    • B3 = 70
    • C4 = 60
    • C5 = 55
    • C6 = 50
    • D7, E8, F9 = 0
    • Awaiting Result (AR) = 0
  • Subjects considered: Only the same four subjects a candidate sat for in UTME will be scored in O’level.
  • Bonus:
    • One sitting = +10 points
    • Two sittings = no bonus

Formula

Final Score = (UTME score × 0.7) + {(O’level score + Bonus) × 0.3}

Example Calculation

Let’s take a student who scored 285 in UTME with the following O’level grades:

  • English – B3 = 70
  • Biology – A1 = 90
  • Physics – C4 = 60
  • Chemistry – B2 = 80

Total O’level score = 300

  • Single Sitting: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 10) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 93 = 292.5
  • Two Sittings: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 0) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 90 = 289.5

The gap between single and two sittings here is just 3 points, but those little points can sometimes tilt the table.

AFIT, Kaduna Air Force Institute of Technology
AFIT 1st Batch Merit Admission List 2025/2026 is Out

The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Kaduna has released its 2025/2026 admission list. Candidates can now check their status on the JAMB CAPS portal and follow the given steps to accept or reject the offer. Applicants are encouraged to keep checking as updates may come at any time.

The wait is over. After weeks of nail-biting and constant refreshing of pages, the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna, has finally announced the release of its provisional admission list for the 2025/2026 session. For many hopefuls, this is the big news they’ve been itching to hear.

How to Check the AFIT Admission List

At this stage, admission status is only available on the JAMB CAPS portal. Candidates will need to log in to confirm whether their names made the cut.

Here is a quick run-down:

  • Visit the JAMB E-Facility portal.
  • Enter your JAMB username and password to log in.
  • Scroll to the Check Admission Status option.
  • Select Access my CAPS.
  • Click on Admission Status to see your result.

For those offered a slot, the next step is to accept or reject the offer by sending ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.

What to Do Next

  • Once you accept your admission, you should print your JAMB admission letter.
  • If your status reads “Admission Still in Progress” or “Not Admitted”, don’t panic, the system updates regularly.
  • Patience is key, so keep checking.

A Note for Mobile Phone Users

Here is a small hiccup. Many candidates who log in with their phones might only see a welcome page, no admission status option in sight. The fix? Switch your browser to desktop mode. If you are using Chrome, just tap on the options menu and select Request Desktop Site. That should display the full page.

This extension is seen as part of NSUK’s commitment to ensuring that no qualified candidate misses out on the opportunity to secure admission for the 2025/2026 academic session.
