I’m going to share with you, how I got admission into Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndifu-Alike Ikwo (AE-FUNAI). This post is strictly for AE-FUNAI aspirants, and others who wish to learn too. After going through this content, it will help you learn things you can do, processes you can follow, to be able to successfully get admission into AE-FUNAI.

During application

It was in 2018, and I wanted to enroll into a university after waiting for some years. I already had a WAEC and NECO result. So, all I needed was to buy JAMB form, and sit for the exam. I bought the form and finally sat for the exam.

My first choice was University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), second choice was Enugu State University of Science & Technology, and on my third choice, I told the person registering it to add any school there.

During JAMB UTME examination

Before I sat for the main JAMB UTME exam, I wrote JAMB MOCK exam (not compulsory). The reason why I partook, and wrote the JAMB MOCK exam was to test how I’m likely to perform in JAMB main examination. It was really helpful.

When I checked my main JAMB UTME result, I got 216. I wasn’t happy with the outcome, but I have to look for a solution. I had to make reasearch about Federal Universities. During the research, I found out that Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndifu-Alike Ikwo (AE-FUNAI) cut off mark is 180. So, with my JAMB score of 216, I felt there’s hope, and a big chance too.

Change of Institution

I went to a cyber Cafe immediately, and did Change of Institution to Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndifu-Alike Ikwo (AE-FUNAI). I also made the school my first choice. After that, I waited for a while until the school commenced the sale of their PUTME form.

I got the form which costs N2,000. After about a month, I printed my acknowledgement slim (it contains the time and date for my exam). I lived in Enugu. Luckily my exam time was set to 8am.

During AE-FUNAI PUTME screening

I woke up around 5am, prepared, and journeyed to Ebonyi State. It wasn’t hard to locate the school, and before 8am, I was already in the school. I sat for the school’s PUTME exam, and left for Enugu immediately.

Other aspirants, who came from far places, had to squat with someone for a day, get a lodge or sleep in any of the classroom in the school.

When the school’s PUTME result came out, I scored 200. Since the school’s general cut off mark is 180, I didn’t have to panic much. I had to start waiting for admission. Later, I went to a JAMB official center, and re-uploaded my O’ level result. I confirmed that my result was still in the portal, and I went back to continue waiting for admission.

Waiting time for admission

When AE-FUNAI started offering admission, I had to check my JAMB CAPS twice, but there was no admission yet. I tried checking it the 3rd time after few weeks and that was when I saw ‘Accept’ and ‘Reject’. I noticed that I have been finally offered admission. Was a bit shocked it came earlier than expected.

What  I did was to quickly read, and accept the admission on JAMB CAPS, and of course I was happy about that.

After few days, I quickly started my registration, and commenced lectures too. That’s it.
