NSUK Extends Post-UTME Registration Deadline for 2025/2026 by 2 Weeks

The Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), has officially announced a two-week extension of its 2025/2026 Post-UTME/Direct Entry registration deadline. This is good news for thousands of prospective students who were unable to complete their application due to various challenges. The new deadline gives fresh hope and another opportunity to candidates who are still interested in securing admission into NSUK.

🔔 Key Update at a Glance

• Original deadline: Friday, 12th September 2025
• New deadline: Friday, 26th September 2025
• Reason for extension: To accommodate candidates facing issues such as:
  • Delay in the release of 2025 NECO results
  • Change of institution/course processing problems
  • Challenges with NECO token verification
  • Other technical or registration difficulties

🌍 Why This Extension Matters

Every year, many students miss admission opportunities simply because they fail to complete their registration on time. For 2025/2026, NSUK has taken a student-friendly decision to allow more time for those affected by common challenges like:

1. Pending NECO Results
   Since not all examination bodies release results at the same time, many candidates who used NECO may have been stranded. The extension ensures that such students will not be left behind.
2. Correction of JAMB Details
   Some candidates applied for a change of course or institution on JAMB CAPS but encountered delays in the update reflecting. With this extension, they can now finalize their registration once the correction is updated.
3. Technical Barriers
   Issues like forgotten login details, wrong uploads, or NECO token verification problems often frustrate applicants. The extra two weeks provides a safety net.
