2.1 Candidate’s Name

2.2 University Programmes
A student may apply for a maximum of Ten programs (Six choices for national merit admission and another four choices for district quota admission) offered at different Public Universities using the same form. The Joint Admissions Board makes admissions to all the Public Universities at the same time under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Sports.
STUDENTS SHOULD SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THE CHOICES OF THE PROGRAMMES THEY WISH TO APPLY FOR BEFORE COMPLETING THE APPLICATION FORM AS IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THESE CHOICES ONCE THE FORMS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
The programmes at the Universities are represented by three-letter Codes; these are the Codes to be written in the space provided for each programme code. The candidates’ names will be written in the space provided. The list of programmes and their codes is attached.
CANDIDATES ARE ADVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY WRITE THE CORRECT CODES FOR THE RESPECTIVE PROGRAMMES.
Candidates should seriously note that a wrong Programme Code would result in the Candidate’s name being omitted from the list of applicants for the particular programme(s).
2.3 Advice on Making Your Choices for Programmes
It has been noted over the years that some candidates apply for only ‘Popular’ and highly competitive programmes: e.g. LAW, SOC, ADM on the Arts side and MAM, PHA, ELE, and STE, on the Science side. Such candidates don’t make choices on programmes such as LIS, BLH and BSC/ED, B.SC. In several instances, many of those candidates do not qualify for the highly competitive programmes but would qualify for the less competitive programmes if they had applied for them.
Other Tertiary Institutions
Space is provided for candidates who may wish to apply for programmes at the other Tertiary Education Institutions. The codes for programmes offered at those Institutions are to be collected from the JAB Office, Ministry of Education and Sports.
Candidate’s Index Number
A CORRECT INDEX NUMBER MUST BE WRITTEN ON THE APPLICATION FORM for example U0013/503. That is, the Index Number should be written in full, clearly indicating the centre number as well.
Citizenship
The appropriate CITIZENSHIP should be indicated on the form. International
students or non-Ugandans should not complete the PUJAB form. They should fill out forms for private sponsorship, which may be obtained from the University.
Gender
The Candidates should indicate whether they are MALE or FEMALE
District
The right Home District must be indicated in the appropriate space.
Appendix D has Codes for all districts in Uganda. This is very important, especially about district quota admission. Candidates/applicants are warned against indicating the wrong districts. Some indicate districts where their schools are located instead of their home districts. If this is discovered either at registration or afterwards, the affected person’s admission will be cancelled.
Candidates admitted on District Quota will be verified by the District authorities to confirm that they originate from those Districts.
Year of A’ Level Examinations and Centre Name
The year of A’ level Examinations e.g. 2023 and the school name must be written in the space provided. This information will help the University to differentiate and identify students who may have sat the A’ level examinations in different years and different centres.
O-Level Results
Candidates should provide correct information on the year of O’Level, the Index Number and grades obtained per subject. They must attach a copy of the O’Level Pass Slip, which should be submitted to the Admissions Office with the Application form for verification purposes.
There are cases of candidates who deliberately record better OLevel grades than what they obtained or deliberately record A-Level Index Numbers, which are not theirs.
A’ Level candidates are warned against presenting forged O’Level Pass Slips to the University.
Candidates who sat outside Uganda should submit photocopies of original documents in addition to UNEB equivalents.
The pass slips should be stapled on the application form. Candidates who obtained an over all Grade of 7, 9, Y or Z at O’Level do not qualify for University admission and need not apply. One should have also passed at least 5 subjects at O’Level (i.e 5 subjects without a Grade 9).
