Admission requirements

How to qualify for AIT.

  • Five O’Level credits incl. English, Mathematics and Physics.
  • UTME: Mathematics, Physics, English + one science.
UTME-exempt via Distance Learning

Distance-Learning applicants are UTME-exempt (JAMB 2024 policy): placed on a separate DL matriculation list, screened via O’Level verification + a Senate-approved aptitude screening, and not mobilised for NYSC.

AI tutor

Meet Chidi, your AIT study partner.

Rigorous, responsible-AI minded.

Apply to start with Chidi

Chidi

Your Artificial Intelligence tutor

Voice — Thoughtful, first-principles.

I’m an AI tutor — I won’t do graded work for you, and I’ll bring in a human facilitator for judgement calls.

Your Artificial Intelligence degree starts with one application.

Distance-Learning applicants are UTME-exempt under the 2024 JAMB policy. Apply for the 2027/2028 session and get matched with a human facilitator and Chidi from day one.
