Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, has announced plans to introduce nine degree programmes from the 2026/2027 academic session, creating additional admission opportunities for prospective students seeking university-level qualifications.
The programmes will be offered through an affiliation with the University of Ilorin. The Polytechnic's management has confirmed its readiness to begin the initiative and is currently awaiting the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to make the approved courses available on its admission portal.
Kwara Poly Confirms Readiness for Degree Programme Commencement
The development was disclosed by the Director of Industrial Affiliation, Linkages and External Relations, Engr. Dr. Abdullateef Balogun, during an interview with Kwara Poly TV.
He spoke shortly after the institution's monthly Polytechnic Academic Board meeting, which took place at the Muhammed Alabi Lawal Auditorium.
According to the Director, the institution has completed its preparations for the commencement of the programmes. The remaining step identified in the announcement is for JAMB to upload the courses to its portal.

University of Ilorin to Affiliate with Kwara Poly Degree Programmes
The announced degree courses will operate under an affiliation arrangement with the University of Ilorin.
The initiative is expected to widen access to degree-level education by providing more options for candidates seeking admission. It also expands the academic opportunities available through the Polytechnic.
JAMB Portal Update Awaited for 2026/2027 Admission
Although the Polytechnic has indicated that it is prepared to commence the programmes, the courses are yet to be made available on the JAMB portal, based on the information released.
The institution is awaiting the board's action before the approved programmes can appear on the portal.
Candidates interested in any of the nine courses should therefore pay attention to subsequent announcements from Kwara State Polytechnic and JAMB. The announcement does not yet provide specific admission requirements, cut-off marks, application procedures or screening dates for the new programmes.
