Every claim here is labelled

Admission dates, tests, merit formulas and fees change every cycle, and not all of it is published in one place. Every claim here is labelled with its source and how well established it is. Treat the university's own admissions page as the last word, and tell me when something is out of date.

Official Published by the university, its prospectus, or a regulator such as HEC, PEC or NCEAC.
Reported Described by several students or applicants, or by a news report. Usually right in shape, sometimes a cycle out of date.
Unverified One person said this, or it came secondhand. Treat it as a hint and check with the admissions office.

Nobody pays to be listed here, and nothing on this page is sponsored. Universities cannot buy a higher position or have a profile removed on request, though I will correct anything that is wrong.
