How To Check Screening Results

Note that the University of Jos takes misrepresentation and falsification of results very seriously. So be careful with your uploading.
There is also a big fat disclaimer on the website warning prospective students to avoid using road side business centers to conduct their application and make payments.
Well, I attended the school so I know what they mean when they say that and why they say it so seriously. If you happen to be in Jos and do not want your money to get missing, then enter the school premises and use the computer centres there. And there are a whole lot of them there. Many of them as extensions of the Faculties.
So there is all you need to know about entering UJay through the direct entry programme. Cheers to your success.
