The Academic Registrar, Makerere University, has announced that applications for government sponsorship to public universities and other tertiary institutions for the 2025/2026 academic year will now be done online.
This change aims to streamline the process, allowing school administrators to quickly capture and process applicants’ information through the Academic Management Information System (ACMIS) application portal.
The online application process is scheduled to commence on November 4, 2024, and will run until December 31, 2024. Prior to the application period, the university will conduct awareness virtual/Zoom meetings with school administrators from October 1 to 4, 2024, and regional physical meetings from October 14 to November 4, 2024.
Applicants will be required to pay a non-refundable application fee of Ugx 52,000 using a pay reference number generated from the system. This payment can be made at any bank authorized by the Uganda Revenue Authority.
School administrators will receive Zoom links, user guides, and other relevant information via contacts previously submitted to the university. Further information can be found in a circular available on the Makerere University News portal.
The Academic Registrar, Prof. Buyinza Muakadasi, emphasized the university’s readiness to roll out the online Public Universities Joint Admissions Board (PUJAB) application for all public universities.
This shift to online applications is expected to enhance efficiency and transparency in the government sponsorship process.
