Between March and October 2023, the Department of the Academic Registrar, and the Directorate for Information and Communications Services(DICTS) undertook the initiative to develop the PUJAB online application system as follows:
- Studied the ACMIS Private Sponsorship Application Portal and replicated it into a user friendly application portal for government sponsorship for all Public Universities to be used for the 2025/2026 admissions.
- Benchmarked the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) online registration system for candidates of secondary and primary schools to enable the University develop for 2025/2026 admissions.
The online application will allow at least two school administrators to input the application required information using one of the two formats provided;
- The Online Application Portal where the applicants' information is captured directly using the internet (https://pujab.mak.ac.ug)
- The Offline Application mode (Excel Sheet) which will be downloaded from the online, filled in offline and uploaded into the system.
Both formats contain pre-populated information to help applicants select the correct details while filling in the application.
Administrators are advised to support the students to ensure we have accurate data.
A user guide has been developed and is available in the PUJAB online application portal.
In addition to the user guide:
We have video tutorials that a user can follow through as well.
