Quick answer: The GBOKOPOLY HND admission form for 2026/2027 is sold on the school portal. On 9 September 2026 the NBTE directed that JAMB should process HND admissions in polytechnics, colleges of nursing sciences and health-technology institutions from the 2026/2027 session. Implementation details were still being published in November 2026 — check your polytechnic’s advert. You need an ND (minimum Lower Credit) in a related programme, evidence of one year’s industrial training (SIWES/IT), and five O’Level credits including English and Mathematics.

How much is the GBOKOPOLY hnd admission form?

JAMB caps the screening charge at ₦2,000 with no hidden add-ons; in practice several universities (UI, LAUTECH, UNIOSUN, AAUA, FUNAAB) charge a separate ₦3,000 ‘portal access’ fee, so budget ₦2,000–₦5,000 for post-UTME screening; HND/part-time/postgraduate forms are priced by the school. Check the portal invoice.

Can I apply to GBOKOPOLY without JAMB?

Full-time ND/NCE/degree and basic nursing entry requires JAMB UTME or Direct Entry. HND, part-time, postgraduate, pre-ND/remedial and post-basic nursing programmes are applied for directly with the school.

What is the closing date for the GBOKOPOLY form?

Closing dates are set per session and shown on the portal advert; apply early because late applications are rarely accepted.
