Gombe State University (GOMSU) has listed available courses for candidates who are yet to secure admission for the 2026/2027 academic session. Applicants who selected the university but have not received an admission offer can review the available programmes and determine whether any of them matches their academic qualifications and career interests.
The available courses cover Agriculture, Banking and Finance, Economics, English Language, Islamic Studies, Christian Religious Studies, Library and Information Science, Peace and Conflict Resolution, History and International Studies, Sciences and Education.
Candidates who have not been admitted should carefully review the list before making any decision about changing their course.

Requirements for Candidates Yet to Be Admitted
Candidates who wish to be considered for any of the available GOMSU courses should review their admission qualifications carefully.
1. Meet the Course Requirements
Every programme has its own entry requirements. Applicants should confirm the minimum UTME score, required subjects and O’Level credits for their chosen course before making any changes.
Candidates should not choose a programme simply because it appears to have fewer applicants. The course must match their qualifications and academic interests.
2. Upload O’Level Results to JAMB CAPS
Applicants should ensure that their WAEC, NECO or other accepted O’Level results have been uploaded correctly to JAMB CAPS. Missing or incomplete results may affect admission consideration.
Candidates who have already uploaded their results should confirm that the information displayed is accurate.
3. Check the UTME Subject Combination
A candidate’s UTME subject combination must be appropriate for the selected programme. For example, applicants interested in science courses should verify the required science subjects, while candidates applying for Arts, Social Sciences or Education programmes should check the relevant subject combinations.
Choosing a course without meeting its subject requirements may prevent an applicant from being considered for admission.
4. Consider a Change of Course Where Necessary
Candidates whose original choices do not match their qualifications or admission prospects may consider switching to another suitable programme from the list.
Before making a change, applicants should confirm that the selected course is available for the current admission exercise and that they meet all its requirements. They should also follow the approved procedure for changing courses and complete any additional university screening steps.
5. Monitor Admission Status
Applicants should continue to check their admission status and follow official instructions throughout the admission exercise. They should respond promptly to any admission offer and complete the required acceptance procedures within the stated deadline.
Candidates should avoid relying on rumours or promises from unofficial agents. Admission decisions must follow the university’s approved process.
How to Choose the Right Course
Selecting an alternative course requires careful consideration. Candidates should begin by comparing their academic results with the requirements for the available programmes.
Applicants with strong interests in farming, animal production or natural resources may consider the agriculture courses. Those interested in financial services may explore Banking and Finance, while candidates who enjoy quantitative analysis may consider Economics, Mathematics or Statistics, depending on their qualifications.
Candidates interested in teaching can examine the listed Education programmes, while applicants with interests in research, laboratory work or the natural environment may consider suitable science courses.
Career interests should also influence the decision. Candidates should consider the subjects they enjoy, the skills they want to develop and the type of work they may wish to pursue after graduation.
However, the most important consideration is eligibility. A candidate should only choose a course after confirming that the UTME subject combination and O’Level results satisfy its admission requirements.
