The Nigerian Institute of Journalism in Lagos has quietly opened its gates again. Admission forms for the 2025/2026 session are out, covering diploma, postgraduate, and short-term courses. It is one of those announcements that may look like a small flyer on a wall, but for someone out there, it could change everything.

Regular Programmes On Offer

The institute has kept its list simple but wide enough for all kinds of learners.

  • National Diploma (ND)
    • Five credit passes in O’Level exams. English, Literature, and Mathematics are non–negotiable.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but it is just the school making sure people are ready before climbing higher.

NSUK
NSUK Extends 2025 Post-UTME Application Deadline by Two Weeks

The Management of Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has announced an extension of the 2025/2026 Post-UTME Screening Exercise deadline.

Originally scheduled to close on Friday, August 29, 2025, the application period will now run until Friday, September 12, 2025.

The university management described the extension as a “gracious gesture” and urged parents, guardians, and prospective students to take full advantage of the additional window.

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.

Plateau College of Health Tech Zawan
Plateau College of Health Tech Zawan Aptitude Test Schedule 2025/2026

Plateau State College of Health Technology, Zawan has fixed its aptitude test for 6th September, 2025. Screening for National Diploma admission follows from 15th to 20th September, 2025. Candidates should pay required fees and bring receipts. Read more below.

The College of Health Technology in Zawan has put out its call, and candidates now have dates to circle on their calendars. For those who applied to study at the college this year, the aptitude test is the first step, and it is set to hold on Saturday, 6th September, 2025. The time is 9:00 am sharp, and the venue, as always, is the college grounds.

It is the kind of notice that comes with both relief and a bit of jitters. Everyone waiting finally knows when to show up.

Aptitude Test Details

  • Date: Saturday, 6th September, 2025
  • Time: 9:00 am prompt
  • Venue: College premises

Applicants must first get a Remitta Retrieval Reference (RRR) number from the ICT unit of the school. With that, payment of ₦7,000 should be made at any commercial bank. Afterwards, the payment slip must be taken to the bursary department in exchange for an official receipt. That receipt is your pass, so keep it safe.

Screening Exercise For ND Admission

Beyond the aptitude test, the college will also carry out its screening for those aiming at National Diploma programmes. This applies to candidates who chose the college as first choice and scored the required JAMB points.

  • Date: Monday, 15th to Saturday, 20th September, 2025
  • Venue: College Board Room

The screening has its own process too. Another RRR number must be collected from the ICT unit, followed by payment of ₦10,000 at any commercial bank. As before, the payment slip must be presented at the bursary for an official receipt.

What Candidates Should Keep In Mind

Two main stages, two different fees, and both tied to RRR numbers from the ICT unit. It may sound like plenty back and forth, but it is all part of the procedure. Missing a step could mean missing your chance.

For those aiming at the aptitude test, sort your payment and receipt before the 6th. For those waiting for the ND screening, prepare for the week of 15th to 20th. In both cases, showing up empty handed is not an option.
