i apply direct entry in medlaboratory science and have 2.96 that is lower credit does it means that udus dont collect direct entry in this course?
Actually the issue is not the form/GP rather the competition in our universities. They don’t admit DE students in universities like Jambite. So i can only advice you to go for Jamb or go for less competitive institution and course, that might give you a chance to be consider. Thanks

UDUS direct entry isn’t out yet. Just be patient
Please, do DE candidate write entry exam as jambites
In 2017, UDUS didn’t conduct exam for DE and UTME candidates. It depends on the University if they will like the DE to write exams but in most cases they don’t.

Five SSCE credit passes in Government or History, English Language and three other subjects. At least a pass in Mathematics is required. This is UDU Requirement
