Rivers State University (RSU) has officially released its admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session. All candidates who took part in the Post UTME screening exercise of the university are to visit the JAMB CAPS portal and check if they have been offered provisional admission.
Candidates should also know that the admission list is released in batches; first, the merit list will be released, followed by the supplementary admission list, which is released in two batches.
Candidates who failed to make the first list should not panic, as the admission list will most definitely cover all qualified students who met the cut off mark of the university.
