Admission Requirement


There are three modes of admission into the bachelor’s degree Electrical Electronics Engineering Programme at Summit University, Offa (SUN, Offa): UTME mode, Direct Entry (DE) mode, and Inter-University Transfer. The admission requirements for each mode are presented below.

Compliance with UTME Admission Requirements

  • Credit in five O' Level subjects at General Certification of Education (GCE), Senior Secondary Certificate Education (SSCE), or an equivalent that must include Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English Language, and any other science subject such as Further Mathematics or Geography. The five credits must be obtained at not more than two sittings.
  • For the five-year degree programme, in addition to acceptable passes in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the minimum admission requirement is credit level passes in Senior School Certificate (SSC) in at least five subjects, which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and other acceptable science subjects at not more than two sittings.
  • Candidates must pass the University Tertiary Matriculation Examination in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics.

Direct Entry Admission Requirements

  • Holders of Upper Credit Level in National Diploma in Electrical/Computer/Mechatronics/Mechanical Engineering may qualify for admission at 200 Level, plus the requirements stated above, in addition to five (5) Senior School Certificate (SSC) credit passes, which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
  • Candidates with at least two passes in relevant subjects (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) at the GCE Advanced Level or IJMB or JUPEB may be considered for admission into 200 Level.
  • Holders of HND with at least Upper Credit in Electrical/Electronic/Computer/Mechatronics/Mechanical Engineering, in addition to 5 O’Level credit passes, which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, may qualify for admission at 300 Level.
  • Direct entry candidates are required to pass the O' Level grades stipulated in the UTME requirements. Direct entry students must also take and pass the General Studies courses offered at 100 and 200 Levels.

Inter-University Transfer

  • All candidates seeking transfer (inter-university) must have spent a minimum of one academic session in the programme of first admission, with full sessional results attached to the application for transfer.
  • All inter-university candidates seeking transfers to the Department of Electrical Electronics Engineering must:
    1. Be studying an Engineering/Science programme in their current university.
    2. Have passed all courses registered in their current university before seeking the transfer.
    3. Have a minimum CGPA of 2.50 on a scale of 5.00.
    4. Transfer cases can only be entertained up to and not beyond 300 Level.

Duration of the Programme

The Bachelor of Science Programme in Electrical Electronics Engineering is a five-year programme (100 - 500 Level). However, direct entry candidates are expected to spend four years (A' level and OND Candidates) or three years (HND candidates).

The programme is structured in such a way that all engineering students offer the same basic courses at 100 and 200 levels to prepare them for the Engineering profession. The 300 to 500 Level courses are more detailed and focus on training in Electrical Electronics Engineering.

A student cannot stay beyond one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the programme duration (i.e., 7.5, 6, and 4.5 sessions for 5, 4, and 3-year programmes, respectively).
