The Vice Chancellor of Gombe State University, Prof. Sani-Ahmed Yauta.
The management of Gombe State University has declared that candidates seeking admission into the institution for the 2026 academic session must be at least 18 years old, except in exceptional cases involving underage candidates who score 300 and above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Sani-Ahmed Yauta, disclosed this on Thursday during a press conference held at the Senate Chambers to announce the commencement of the institution’s 2026 admission exercise.
Yauta said the university would strictly adhere to the approved age requirement for admissions but noted that exceptional academic performance could earn younger candidates special consideration.
“The age limit for candidates is 18 years, except in rare cases where candidates below 18 score above 300 points, in which case they may be considered,” the Vice Chancellor stated.
