The Management of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua, has reached a new milestone in its 2025/2026 academic calendar with the official release of the ND Sixth Supplementary Admission List. This update, issued by the institution’s Media Unit, confirms that another batch of aspiring professionals has been cleared for enrollment into various National Diploma (ND) programmes. This release is part of the polytechnic's ongoing effort to fill its available quotas for the session while ensuring that all qualified candidates who participated in the post-UTME screening are given a fair chance at higher education.
For many candidates, this supplementary list represents a critical opportunity to secure a spot in one of the Niger Delta’s most reputable technical institutions. Admission into Ikot Osurua is highly competitive, and the release of a sixth list indicates the polytechnic's commitment to a thorough and inclusive selection process.
Procedure for Verification and Admission Acceptance
Candidates who have been following the admission cycles are encouraged to verify their status through the official institutional channels. The primary point of verification remains the JAMB CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) portal, which serves as the national clearinghouse for all tertiary admissions in Nigeria.
To successfully transition from an "applicant" to an "admitted student," the following steps must be taken immediately. First, candidates can view the names on the supplementary list by visiting the official Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic Facebook page. Once a name is spotted, the candidate must log in to their JAMB CAPS portal to formally "Accept" the offer. Failure to accept the admission on the JAMB portal will result in the candidate’s name not being forwarded for the final matriculation list.
Financial Obligations and Acceptance Fees
Upon acceptance on the JAMB portal, the next phase is the payment of the Acceptance Fee. This is a non-refundable commitment fee of Fifteen Thousand Naira (₦15,000). To process this, candidates should visit a reliable cyber café to generate a payment invoice via the school’s dedicated portal at portal.akwaibompoly.edu.ng . This invoice will contain a unique Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) number.
Payments must be made through authorized banking channels as specified on the invoice. The polytechnic emphasizes that the payment of the acceptance fee on the school portal commences immediately. Once payment is confirmed, the candidate should print their receipt, as it is a mandatory document for the physical screening stage.
Physical Screening and Departmental Documentation
The final hurdle for newly admitted students is the departmental screening. Candidates must proceed to their respective departments with their Remita invoice, payment receipts, and the official JAMB Admission Letter, which can be obtained from the JAMB website.
During the screening, the department will verify original credentials, including O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB), birth certificates, and certificates of origin. It is essential that all documents are authentic and match the information provided during the application process. Only after a successful departmental clearance is a student considered fully registered for the academic session.
Security Advisory and Anti-Fraud Measures
In a strong-worded advisory, the Polytechnic Media Unit has warned candidates to be wary of admission racketeers and fraudsters. The institution has made it clear that no payments should be made to individuals, regardless of whether they claim to be staff members or relatives. Furthermore, the management strictly forbids making payments into any personal POS (Point of Sale) account numbers. All financial transactions must follow the official Remita-to-Portal pipeline to ensure the security of the student's funds.
Candidates who did not find their names on this sixth list are encouraged to remain patient. The polytechnic has indicated that additional admission lists will be released in the shortest possible time to finalize the intake for the year. This phased approach ensures that every candidate’s data is carefully processed before the matriculation ceremony.
