This is to inform all candidates invited for the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) 78 Regular Course Screening Test that, due to a clash with the JAMB mop-up examination, the NDA Screening Test earlier scheduled for Saturday, 13 June 2026 has been rescheduled to Saturday, 20 June 2026. This update follows the earlier NDA announcement fixing the test for 13 June 2026.
Candidates are advised to take note of the new date and make the necessary arrangements to be present at their designated centres on 20 June 2026. All other instructions previously communicated regarding the screening test remain valid unless otherwise stated.
Applicants who successfully submitted their applications, achieved a score above 180 in the JAMB UMTE and are yet to receive their invitation letters, should please attempt to log in to the application portal and select their preferred state for the screening test.
