Covenant University Ota

A student aiming for Covenant University Ota will first need to sit the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and score above the national cut-off mark, typically meeting the university’s higher institutional benchmark. The institution also conducts its own post-UTME screening, and candidates must obtain at least five credit passes in relevant O’level subjects, including English and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings. Admissions are competitive, often opening in the first half of the year ahead of the September resumption, so prospective applicants should monitor the university’s portal and JAMB registration timelines closely.

Once enrolled, students step into a well-structured private university environment that runs on a strict full-time, semester-based academic calendar. Established in 2002 and fully accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC), Covenant University operates across several faculties — including Engineering, Social Sciences, Management Sciences, and Leadership Development Studies — each designed to balance theoretical grounding with practical skills. The campus in Ota, Ogun State, is purpose-built, with modern lecture theatres, laboratories, and residential halls that foster a disciplined, community-driven lifestyle.

Beyond the classroom, Covenant University is known for its emphasis on character formation and entrepreneurial training, two pillars that shape daily student life. A typical semester involves a heavy workload of lectures, assignments, and continuous assessments, but there are also opportunities for chapel programmes, student leadership, and skill acquisition workshops. The university enforces a zero-tolerance policy for academic misconduct and maintains a high level of student engagement through its mentoring and chapel attendance systems. For parents and employers, this translates into graduates who are not just academically sound but also disciplined and ready to contribute from day one.
