Applicants are also required to select NDA as their first choice during the 2024 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME examination.
Successful candidates who meet the minimum UTME score will be invited to partake in the NDA screening test, scheduled to take place at various centers across the country on Saturday, May 25, 2024.
