You might have heard about JPTS university for sometime now and you want to make inquiries about it on whether or not it is legit or fake. Yes, JPTS university is real and it exist. But then, there are few unreal things you need to know about it.
The university has been making waves for some years now since it got to Africa, particularly in Nigeria and many students have enrolled to study in the university. But are you going to graduate as a fully qualified Nigerian student and do you have any job opportunity in any sector in Nigeria or abroad?
In this article, I’m going to open your eyes to some important facts you need to consider before choosing the institute or better still, just stay away from it.
What is JPTS University All About
JPTS is an abbreviation for Joint Professional Training System. It is an international institute designed to enable students to take undergraduate courses for a few months or years depending on the course.
It is an international institute which provides students with both online and offline learning opportunities and still grants them the same educational qualifications and opportunities which a regular student in a regular school would get.
People tend to question the authenticity of the school due to certain factors such as the duration of their study programmes, their mode of admission and age in the education sector.

Duration of studies
The undergraduate level duration for JPTS ranges from 3 months to 3 years depending on the course you choose to study. Some keep questioning how a school teaches a whole course in a few months or even 3 years.
Considering the regular education system in Nigeria, a course in the university takes at least four years which means that some courses like medicine and surgery, law and engineering take more than 4 years.
For instance, a person who studied law takes 5 years in the university, 1 year and law school and 1 year for NYSC. While a person studying at JPTS university can do all these in 3 years or less depending on your course.
Mode of Admission
JPTS university offers admission without JAMB. Yes, it is UTME free. This simply means that if you apply for admission at JPTS, you do not have to stress yourself applying for JAMB just to gain admission.
Being an international institute, it does not require JAMB to give you admission. It only requires you to make credits in the 5 main subjects of your field (art or science) in SSCE or GCE.
Once you apply for admission, submitting the necessary documents and paying the application fee, JPTS processes your admission in about 5 days. This particular aspect of JPTS makes it look unreal or fake and people keep questioning such a process. However, the university is legit.
Age of the School
JPTS as an institute has been there for years but it just came into Nigeria and some other parts of Africa a few years ago which is one reason it has not gotten so much popularity and positive reviews from people.
Being a new born in the Nigerian academic field, it is yet to gain authentic recognition from Nigerians and Africans at large.
All those who are currently studying and those who already graduated from the university are giving positive testimonies about the institute. Yet, that is not enough for the school to gain such authenticity but with time, it will compete very favorably with other universities.
Is JPTS University Legit?
Yes, JPTS institute is real! It is a private institute which offer admissions to students from different parts of the world to take undergraduate courses. It has different locations scattered around Nigeria, Togo and even as far as Europe.
The institute also offers annual scholarship opportunity to students. The scholarship covers full tuition and administrative fees.
In case you have been contemplating if the school is legitimate or not, just bear in mind that it is legit and you can apply to take your undergraduate study.
It is also important to mention that they also online based courses for students who cannot afford to attend classes in any of their accredited lesson centers.
