Types of Rivers State University Admission List
RSU usually release five (5) admission lists, namely:
- Merit Admission List
- Second batch admission list
- Third batch admission list
- Supplementary Admission List and
- VC admission list
1. RSU First Batch Admission List
RSU Merit admission list, also known as RSU First Batch Admission list contains the names of candidates with the highest JAMB and Post UTME aggregate scores.
2. RSU Second Batch Admission List
RSU second, third, and supplementary admission lists contain the names of candidates who:
- Did not upload their O’Level results early
- Did not meet RSU merit cut-off mark
- Narrowly omitted during the first batch of admission
- Have been offered admission through VC list
3. RSU VC admission list
During the 2026 JAMB Policy Meeting, JAMB stated that VC Admission list is illegal but still operational in Nigeria.
However, before any university can use the 10% exemption mode, it must first admit 90% of students through the standard admission process.
This means that RSU VC Admission List is usually the last to be released.
If you’re expecting your name to appear on the 2026 RSU VC admission list, you must wait until the university has completed admitting candidates who merited admission based on JAMB and Post-UTME performance.
However, in some cases, RSU VC admission list may be released earlier, depending on the approach to admission this year.
