Minaret University Admission List 2026/2027

If you applied to Minaret University, Ikirun, popularly known as MU, and you have been waiting to hear whether your name made it onto the list, that wait is over. The university has released its admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session, and every candidate who took part in the admission screening exercise can now check their status. I want to walk you through exactly how to do that, what to do next, and, because Minaret University runs a smaller, more focused set of programmes than many older universities, a full breakdown of what is on offer and what is required for each course.

Minaret University Courses and Admission Requirements

This section is for every candidate who wants a clear picture of exactly what Minaret University offers and what is expected for each course, whether you already have an offer or you are still exploring your options.

Minaret University is a private institution approved by the National Universities Commission, and for this admission cycle it is running programmes under two faculties only, which makes its course list considerably more compact than most public universities. Because it is a newer private university without a long-established scale of oversubscription in any single department, its admission benchmark for the 2026/2027 session follows the national minimum UTME score of 150, which applies uniformly across its current programmes rather than varying sharply by department the way older, larger universities do.

Every applicant is generally required to meet these baseline conditions. UTME candidates must possess five O'Level credit passes from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, covering relevant subjects including English Language and Mathematics, along with the correct JAMB subject combination for their intended course. Direct Entry candidates must present an A-Level result or an accepted equivalent, including Cambridge, IJMB, JUPEB, ND, or NCE qualifications. Applicants are also required to pay a non-refundable application fee during registration on the university's own portal.

The table below sets out both faculties currently on offer, along with the general O'Level requirement for each group of courses.

Faculty	Course / Department	Minimum UTME Score	O'Level Requirement (General)
Faculty of Science and Computing	Computer Science	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
Faculty of Science and Computing	Cyber Security	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
Faculty of Science and Computing	Information Technology	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
Faculty of Science and Computing	Data Science	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
Faculty of Management and Social Science	Accounting	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics and Economics
Faculty of Management and Social Science	Economics	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics and Economics
Faculty of Management and Social Science	Business Administration	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics and Economics
Faculty of Management and Social Science	Marketing	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics and Economics
Faculty of Management and Social Science	Logistics and Supply Chain Management	150 and above	Five credits including English, Mathematics and Economics

A quick note on how to read this table. Because Minaret University currently runs a small, non-professional course list without Medicine, Law or Engineering, none of its programmes carry the sharply elevated cut-off marks you would see for competitive departments at older universities. That said, meeting the minimum score only makes you eligible to apply, and the university still reviews your O'Level results and JAMB subject combination carefully before confirming your specific course placement, so accuracy on your application matters just as much as your score.

How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

The list of admitted candidates has been uploaded online through the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System, known as CAPS, and checking your status follows a simple sequence.

First, visit the JAMB e-Facility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/ and log in using your registered email address and password. Second, once inside your dashboard, click on Check Admission Status. Third, click on Access My CAPS. Fourth, click on Admission Status to see whether Minaret University has offered you a place.

If your name appears with a confirmed admission offer, you are required to accept or reject that offer by sending the word ACCEPT or REJECT to either 55019 or 66019, using the phone number registered on your JAMB profile. Please do this promptly, since your admission is not treated as finalised until this response has been sent.

If you check and find that you have not been offered admission, do not assume the worst immediately. First confirm that your WAEC or NECO result has actually been uploaded to your JAMB portal, since a missing or unverified O'Level result is one of the most common reasons a candidate's status does not update as expected.

What to Do Once JAMB Confirms Your Offer

Being offered admission on JAMB CAPS is only the first half of the process for Minaret University. All candidates who chose Minaret University, Ikirun as their first choice and have now been offered admission by JAMB should proceed to the university's own admission portal to complete registration. You can do this through either www.minaretuniversity.edu.ng or www.admissions.minaretuniversity.edu.ng. On this portal, you will typically need to input your JAMB registration number, review your course-specific admission requirements, upload your credentials, and complete registration before you are considered fully enrolled.

What to Do After Being Admitted

Once you have accepted your offer on JAMB CAPS and completed registration on the Minaret University portal, watch closely for further communication regarding acceptance fee payment, orientation, and clearance requirements. Begin gathering your original certificates, birth certificate, local government identification and passport photographs now, so you are fully prepared once these instructions are released.

A Word for Those Still Waiting

If your status still shows Admission Still in Progress or Not Admitted, please stay calm. Confirm first that your O'Level result has been properly uploaded and verified on your JAMB portal, since this alone resolves a large share of delayed or stalled statuses. Continue checking your JAMB CAPS profile every day or two, and reach out to Minaret University's admissions office directly if you believe there has been an error with your documentation.

Final Thoughts

The release of the Minaret University admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session is good news for every candidate who has been waiting since the screening exercise concluded. Check your status carefully on JAMB CAPS, confirm your O'Level result is uploaded if your status has not changed, complete your registration promptly on the university's own portal once JAMB confirms your offer, and use the table above to understand exactly what your chosen course requires. Congratulations to everyone newly admitted, and steady patience to everyone still checking.
