The Nigerian Defence Academy has announced that its Screening Test for the 78th Regular Course will hold on Saturday, June 13, 2026, across all states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
In a statement issued on its X handle on Tuesday, the institution said the exercise is open only to candidates who scored 180 and above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by JAMB in April 2026, and who selected the NDA as their first-choice institution.
According to the academy, eligible candidates will receive an email on May 20, 2026, directing them to select their preferred state for the screening test. This step is necessary for the allocation of examination centres nationwide.
Candidates must complete their selection of preferred test location no later than May 24, 2026. The NDA advised applicants to choose their state of residence as their examination location, emphasising that the screening exercise will be conducted simultaneously across the country.
Candidates will later be informed of their assigned centres in the first week of June 2026.
The academy assured candidates of timely communication and further instructions via email, stressing that it remains committed to fairness and equal opportunity for all qualified applicants nationwide.
