The Office of the Registrar (Admissions and Records Unit) of Saisa University of Medical Sciences and Technology (SUMST), Sokoto, has officially issued a notice to the general public, prospective students, and stakeholders regarding the 2025/2026 admission process. The announcement comes as part of the University’s ongoing efforts to ensure a smooth and transparent admission process while providing additional opportunities for candidates seeking entry into its prestigious medical and allied health programmes.

This communication is particularly important for candidates who initially applied to other institutions but have not yet secured admission, as well as for those who are yet to be considered by SUMST. The University emphasizes its commitment to widening access to high-quality medical and technological education, and encourages all eligible candidates to follow the outlined procedures to secure admission.

Extension of Admission Offers via JAMB Marketplace

SUMST has extended admission offers to a number of candidates through the JAMB Marketplace, Nigeria’s centralized platform for monitoring admission status across institutions. The University advises prospective students to log into their JAMB profiles immediately to verify whether they have received an admission offer from SUMST. This approach ensures that students are promptly informed about their admission status and can take the necessary next steps to secure enrollment.

Candidates who have already been offered admission are encouraged to follow the University’s instructions for acceptance and registration, including checking their JAMB profile for confirmation and preparing relevant documents for submission. SUMST remains committed to providing a seamless transition for students from the point of offer to full matriculation.

Pathway for Candidates Yet to Receive Admission Offers

For prospective students who have not yet received any admission offer, SUMST has outlined a clear pathway to facilitate eligibility review and potential acceptance. Candidates must adhere to the following steps:

1. Change First Choice Institution to SUMST:
   Candidates who initially selected another institution in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) but have not secured admission are required to change their First Choice Institution to Saisa University via the JAMB Portal. This ensures that the University has access to their UTME results for consideration.

2. Upload O’Level (SSCE) Results:
   Candidates must ensure that their O’Level results (SSCE, NECO, or NABTEB) are uploaded to the JAMB Portal. Accurate submission of these results is crucial, as they form part of the eligibility assessment for admission into SUMST programmes.

Once these steps are completed, the Admissions Office at SUMST will review the candidate’s UTME and O’Level results to determine eligibility for admission. This review process is conducted with strict adherence to the University’s admission criteria to maintain fairness, transparency, and academic standards.
