About Kings University
Contents
Kings University is a private university in Ode-Omu, Osun State, founded by the Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC).
The school is known for its steady academic calendar, modern facilities, strong values, and focus on developing entrepreneurial skills along with regular degree programs.
Kings University welcomes all applicants who meet the faculty and departmental entry requirements, regardless of gender, race, religion, or political views.
Screening Status for 2026/2027
Kings University has started accepting Post UTME and Direct Entry applications for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Qualified UTME and Direct Entry candidates are invited to apply for undergraduate programs.
Unlike some schools, Kings University usually announces the screening closing date later in the admission cycle.
Because of this, it’s best to apply early, especially if you want to study competitive courses like Nursing or Cybersecurity, since these programs can fill up before an official deadline is given.
Entry Requirements
For UTME (Degree) Candidates:
- A minimum of five credit-level passes in SSCE, GCE, or NECO, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings.
- The university has been explicit that it requires credit passes in English Language and Mathematics for all applicants, regardless of their intended course of study.
- Applicants should make sure their UTME subject combination matches the requirements for their chosen program. If the subjects don’t fit, you might not be eligible, even if your UTME score is high enough.
For Direct Entry Candidates:
- Candidates holding a GCE ‘A’ Level with an acceptable score in relevant subjects, plus a credit pass in O’Level English and Mathematics, may be considered for direct entry into the university.
- Direct Entry applicants also need to meet the specific faculty and departmental requirements for their chosen course, just like UTME candidates.
Changing Your JAMB First Choice
If you didn’t choose Kings University as your first choice during your 2026 JAMB UTME registration but now want to apply, you can still do so.
Just visit any JAMB office or JAMB-certified cyber café to change your first-choice institution to Kings University, then follow the usual Post-UTME or Direct Entry application steps below.
How Kings University’s Screening Actually Works
Many applicants are surprised to learn that Kings University does not require you to travel to Ode-Omu for a physical Post-UTME exam.
Instead, the main screening is done online through document verification and credential checks.
Your JAMB UTME result, O’Level results, and bio-data are reviewed online, not through an in-person test.
You only need to come to campus after you’ve been given provisional admission and school resumes.
That’s when you’ll do your clearance, registration, and orientation in person.
Step-by-Step Application Process
- Confirm or change your JAMB first choice to Kings University if it wasn’t already selected, following the process described above.
- Visit the official Kings University portal at portal.kingsuniversity.edu.ng to begin your application.
- Register with your JAMB registration number and a valid email address to create your applicant profile.
- Complete your bio-data and academic details, including your O’Level results and UTME score (or your GCE ‘A’ Level results and O’Level credits, for Direct Entry applicants).
- Choose your intended program carefully and make sure you meet the faculty and departmental subject requirements. If your subjects don’t match, you might not be eligible, even if your other documents are correct.
- Upload the required supporting documents as prompted by the portal, ensuring they meet any specified file format and size requirements.
- Submit your application and retain any confirmation reference or printout the portal generates, since you may need this for later stages of the admission process.
- Keep checking the portal and your JAMB CAPS profile for updates on your admission status. Because Kings University uses a virtual evaluation system, most updates come through these online channels instead of in-person notices.

But in reality, competitive courses like Nursing and Cybersecurity can fill up before any official deadline is given.
If you want one of these courses, apply as soon as the form is open instead of waiting for a deadline.
