Updated on 6 November 2026 · How we verify
Quick answer: The LENSPOLY 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.

LENSPOLY announces form sales on its portal (lenspolytechnic.edu.ng); the HND form is usually sold between May and October. This page is updated when sales open.
How much is the LENSPOLY 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 LENSPOLY 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 LENSPOLY form?
Closing dates are set per session and shown on the portal advert; apply early because late applications are rarely accepted.
