The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has dismissed allegations of irregularities in its 2025/2026 admission process, describing them as false and malicious.
In a statement on Thursday, the university’s Public Relations Officer, Inya Egwu, said all admissions are monitored by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), to ensure transparency and fairness.
He explained that UNN adheres to the national quota system, 45% Merit, 35% Catchment Areas, and 20% Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) and that cut-off marks were applied accordingly.
Egwu also refuted claims that fewer than ten candidates scored above 338 in Medicine and Surgery, revealing that over 600 candidates scored above 300.
He said the admission list was compiled and approved through due process by faculty deans and the Committee of Deans, chaired by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Simon Uchenna Ortuanya.
UNN urged the public to disregard false reports and rely only on official university information, reaffirming its commitment to integrity, fairness, and merit-based admissions.
