A candidate can combine two sittings of results from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) for Direct Entry admission into Bachelor of Radiography (B.Rad.) or Medical Radiography and Radiological Science degree programmes in many Nigerian universities, provided the receiving university’s Senate permits two-sitting combinations and the candidate holds five credit passes in core science prerequisite subjects across both sittings. Radiography admissions screening boards evaluate both advanced-level qualifications (such as B.Sc. in Physics, Biochemistry, or IJMB points) and foundational O-Level credentials to verify clinical and physical science aptitude.
However, candidates must ensure that mandatory foundational science subjects—specifically English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology—are credited across both sittings.
- Consult the official Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board brochure to verify whether your target university accepts dual-sitting O-Level combinations for Radiography.
- Ensure that across both sittings (WAEC and NECO), you hold credit passes (A1 to C6) in the five mandatory subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and English Language.
- Verify both examination results on the WAEC Direct Portal and NECO Results platform to ensure results are clear of withheld flags.
- Log into your candidate profile on the JAMB e-Facility Portal and upload both examination sittings under the O-Level module.
- Purchase and complete the Direct Entry registration form, entering details of your advanced-level qualifications (such as university degree, Cambridge A-Levels, or JUPEB points).
- Apply for your official undergraduate or advanced-level academic transcript and have it dispatched directly to the university admissions registrar.
- Register for the target university’s post-UTME Direct Entry screening exercise through their admissions portal.
- Present original result slips, online verification scratch cards, and academic transcripts during physical faculty document clearance.
Admissions screening committees strictly reject candidate portfolios that attempt to use examination combinations missing any of the core science prerequisites.
- Original result slips or certified statements of result for both WAEC and NECO sittings.
- Online result verification scratch cards for electronic authentication by screening officers.
- Original advanced-level diploma certificate or first degree statement of result.
- JAMB Direct Entry registration confirmation slip reflecting both uploaded sittings.
- National Identification Number (NIN) verification slip issued by NIMC.
Candidates holding single-sitting results enjoy a significant competitive advantage over two-sitting applicants during faculty merit list selections.
Radiographers Registration Board of Nigeria (RRBN) and university regulations establish that all candidates admitted into medical radiography degree programmes must satisfy mandatory secondary school science prerequisites in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Confirming your target institution’s specific O-Level combination policy ensures your Direct Entry application complies with institutional regulations and progresses smoothly to matriculation.
Prospective scholars must maintain meticulous records of all online applications, payment receipts, and official institutional clearance dockets throughout their academic journey. Diligent documentation protects your candidate profile from administrative discrepancies and facilitates seamless physical verification across faculty screening desks.
Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Thank you for asking. Regarding required physical screening documents, candidates must always arrange the following in an official document file jacket: (1) Original and 4 photocopies of your JAMB UTME result slip, (2) Original Post-UTME registration acknowledgment slip, (3) O-Level certificate or verified online statement of results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB), (4) Local Government Identification Certificate, (5) Birth Certificate or statutory declaration of age, and (6) 8 passport photographs with red background. Keeping duplicate colored copies in a separate folder is strongly recommended.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Spot-on question regarding JAMB CAPS admission acceptance: Once your admission status changes to ‘Offered Admission’, you have a statutory window of approximately 4 weeks to either ‘ACCEPT’ or ‘REJECT’ the offer. Accepting generates your official JAMB Admission Letter, which is mandatory for matriculation, NYSC mobilization, and final clearance. Never delay acceptance once your choice course is confirmed.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
