Candidates should critically think about the choices of the Degree / Diploma 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. The list of degree programmes and their codes is
attached. Candidates are advised to ensure that they write the correct codes for the respective Degree 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).
2.4 Advice on making your Choices for Degree / Diploma Programmes
It has been noted over the years that some candidates apply for only Traditional, ‘Popular’ and highly competitive programmes: e.g. LAW, ECO, BIB, AFD etc on the Arts side and MAM, PHA, CIV, ELE, ARC etc on the Science side. Such candidates don’t make choices on programmes such as FIN, AID, DES, BGD, BLM 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 ‘moderately’ competitive programmes if
they had applied for them. Forms with crossings and white-outs shall not be accepted.
2.5 Other Tertiary Institutions
Space is provided for candidates who wish to apply for programmes at 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 (Legacy Towers).
2.6 Candidate’s Index Number
A CORRECT INDEX NUMBER MUST BE WRITTEN ON THE
APPLICATION FORM for example U0001/501. That is, the Index Number should be written in full, clearly indicating the centre number as well.
2.7 Citizenship
The appropriate CITIZENSHIP should be clearly indicated on the form. International students or NonUgandans should not complete the form for government sponsorship. They should fill forms for private sponsorship, which are the respective University Websites e.g. applications.mak.ac.ug
2.8 Gender
The Candidates should indicate whether they are MALE (M) or FEMALE (F)
2.9 District
The right Home District must be indicated in the appropriate space.
Appendix D has Coded for all districts in Uganda. This is very important, especially in relation to district quota admission.
Candidates/applicants are warned against indicating the wrong districts.
Some indicate districts where their schools are located instead of their own home districts. If this is discovered either at registration or afterwards, the affected person’s admission will be cancelled.
2.9.1 Candidates shortlisted and recommended for admission on District Quota will have their names forwarded to the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) by the University Admission Committee for onward transmission to District Local Councils for verification. Names of verified candidates by the
districts will then be returned to the Ministry (MoES) which will then compile and send them to the respective Universities for admission
2.10 Year of A’ Level Examinations and Centre Name
The year of A’ level Examinations e.g. 2022 and 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.
2.11 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 O-Level grades than what they actually obtained or deliberately recording
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 examinations 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 overall 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).
2.12 False Information/Impersonation
Candidates are warned that cases of impersonation, falsification of documents or giving false/incomplete
information whenever discovered either at application, registration or afterwards, will lead to automatic cancellation of admission, besides being referred to Police and Courts of Law for prosecution.
2.13 Choices of B.A. and B.SC. Subject Combinations
B.A. EDUCATION, B.A. SOCIAL SCIENCES & B.A. ARTS Subject combinations
Applicants admitted to the Bachelor of Arts (Education), Bachelor of Arts (Social Sciences) and Bachelor of Arts (Arts), Degree Programmes offered at Makerere University in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and Kyambogo University in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences; take three subjects in the first year.
