The University of Benin has opened its postgraduate admission for the 2025/2026 session. Forms are available online at the cost of ₦22,000 and must be submitted before 30th November 2025. Applicants are advised to meet the stated requirements and follow instructions carefully.

The University of Benin has once again thrown open its doors, inviting fresh faces into its postgraduate family. It is that time of year when those who wish to take their learning a notch higher, beyond undergraduate study, start gathering papers and whispering to referees. The College of Postgraduate Studies is asking for applications, and this covers a wide range of programmes, from Postgraduate Diplomas to Master’s, M.Phil, and straight up to PhD.

What you must have in hand

UNIBEN is clear about who gets in and who does not. A few simple but firm rules apply:

  • Five credits in WASC, NECO, GCE or equivalents. Some leeway exists with OND, NCE, IJMB, or A-level passes.
  • Holders of Pass degrees are not welcome into the postgraduate track. Those with Third Class need to first secure a PGD.
  • For Master’s entry, the mark sits at a proper class, while those eyeing M.Phil must carry a Weighted Average Score between 55 and 59%.
  • To step into a PhD, you need at least 60% average in your Master’s. Candidates from other universities may be asked to retake compulsory courses, to match UNIBEN’s standards.
  • No NYSC certificate, no clearance. Whether discharge, exemption, or exclusion, one of these must be ready.

Every application rides on more than personal effort. Referees must fill and return their reports directly to the School of Postgraduate Studies. Without them, the application is dead on arrival.

Cost and how to apply

Application is strictly online. With a VERVE or MasterCard ATM, you pay ₦22,000 for the form. After filling correctly, you print out the application and referee forms from the UNIBEN portal. Wrongly filled or half-done forms are simply ignored.

After admission

How to check your name

There are two easy ways to confirm your status:

On CAPS, once you log in, scroll down, hit Check Admission Status, and then select Access my CAPS. Under that, you’ll see if you have been offered a place.

A little tip: if you are checking on a phone, switch to desktop mode, especially on Chrome, because sometimes the full page hides itself. Small wahala but nothing serious.

Next steps after admission

Being offered admission is just step one. Here is what follows:

  • Pay ₦10,000 processing fee and ₦38,500 acceptance fee.
  • Deadline for acceptance fee is Monday, 15th September 2025. Miss it, and the offer slips away.

    • JAMB admission letter
    • JAMB UTME result
    • O’Level result
    • Post-UTME screening form printout

Candidates must also meet all JAMB requirements before payment can be made. Without that, the portal will simply block you.

Accept or reject via SMS

If your CAPS status shows “Admitted”, you still need to send ACCEPT or REJECT to either 55019 or 66019 using the phone line tied to your JAMB profile. For those still seeing “Not Admitted” or “In Progress”, patience is the watchword. The list is released in batches, so things may change.

Once you accept, quickly print your JAMB admission letter to keep safe.
