Prof. Oloyede also introduced a special mock UTME for candidates under 16 years old. This initiative aims to help younger candidates assess their readiness and is not intended for admission purposes.
Eligibility criteria require candidates to be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025. However, exceptional candidates under 15 years old may be considered for admission if they score a minimum of 280 in the UTME and excel in their Senior Secondary Certificate and post-UTME examinations.
