Does RUN offer Electrical and Electronic Engineering?
Electrical and Electronic Engineering is not on the list of undergraduate programmes RUN offers for the 2026 cycle.
RUN's current catalogue does not include Electrical and Electronic Engineering for the 2026 cycle. The reason is institutional focus or NUC accreditation rather than candidate demand.
Candidates targeting Electrical and Electronic Engineering have 53 institutions in this guide to consider. The most accessible 2026 cut-offs sit at AKSU (200), AAUE (210), UNIOSUN (210), while the nearest option in Osun State is OAU.

What RUN offers instead
RUN does not offer a close substitute to Electrical and Electronic Engineering within its current undergraduate catalogue. Candidates set on Electrical and Electronic Engineering would need to choose another institution from the table above, or explore a related undergraduate programme in a different but adjacent field.
Switching institutions for a specific course is a common path in the Nigerian admission system. The change-of-institution window during the JAMB cycle lets candidates pivot before the post-UTME stage, and many candidates carry their first-choice score across to a more suitable institution.
Why some universities do not offer every course
Not every Nigerian university offers every JAMB-listed course. Universities are either comprehensive, covering most disciplines, or specialised, focusing on a narrower range such as technology, agriculture or theology.
The National Universities Commission accredits each programme separately, and the absence of a course in an institution's catalogue usually reflects either the institution's strategic focus or the fact that the NUC has not yet approved that specific programme for the institution. RUN's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why Electrical and Electronic Engineering sits outside the RUN undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does RUN offer Electrical and Electronic Engineering for postgraduate study?
Electrical and Electronic Engineering is not currently in the RUN undergraduate catalogue tracked in this guide. Postgraduate availability is a separate question handled by the institution's school of postgraduate studies, and should be confirmed on the official RUN portal.
When might RUN add Electrical and Electronic Engineering to its programmes?
New undergraduate programmes require National Universities Commission accreditation and the development of curricula, faculty and infrastructure. There is no public timeline for RUN adding Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to Electrical and Electronic Engineering at RUN?
RUN does not currently run a close substitute for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Candidates committed to Electrical and Electronic Engineering would need to select another institution from the table above.
How do I check NUC-approved courses at RUN?
The National Universities Commission publishes the full list of accredited programmes at each Nigerian university. Use the NUC database or the official RUN admissions portal to confirm the latest accredited programmes before applying for any course.
Can I transfer to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering elsewhere after starting at RUN?
Inter-university transfers in Nigeria are possible but bureaucratic, and typically require strong academic standing in the first year. A cleaner route is to apply directly to an institution that offers Electrical and Electronic Engineering, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
