After payment, students should print the payment receipt and submit it at the Postgraduate School for verification. This process will be followed by screening and documentation, during which candidates are required to present original copies of their credentials, such as:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree certificates and transcripts

• NYSC discharge or exemption certificate (for Nigerian candidates)

• O’level result(s) showing credit passes in relevant subjects

• Birth certificate or declaration of age

• Local government or state of origin certificate
