Welkin International College, a Day and Boarding school located at Atan Ota in Ogun State, is drawing increased interest from prospective students and parents following its outstanding performance in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The college chairman, Mr Beckley Adebayo, confirmed that the institution recorded impressive scores across several subjects. A particular highlight was one student's score of 98 in Mathematics.
Structured Teaching and Integrity Key to Success
Adebayo attributed the strong results to a combination of structured teaching, rigorous preparation, and a school environment built on integrity and healthy competition. He stated that Welkin International College maintains a firm zero-tolerance policy on examination malpractice, a stance he believes encourages students to depend on their own understanding and abilities during examinations.
According to the chairman, the 2026 UTME outcome aligns with the institution's proven history of academic excellence. Welkin International College previously won the World Mathematics Tournament in 2024 and the Junior Category of the Cowbellpedia Mathematics Competition in 2025. These victories, Adebayo noted, illustrate the school's effectiveness in preparing learners for national and international academic challenges.
Growing Demand for Admission at Welkin International College
The impressive UTME results have triggered heightened demand for places at the college. Adebayo said parents across Ogun State and beyond have been making enquiries about enrolling their children for the next academic session. He confirmed that admission is currently open for both Day and Boarding students, giving families the flexibility to decide on the right mode of study.
The chairman described Welkin International College as a preferred destination for families seeking a balance of strong academic results and holistic personal development. He said the college's approach ensures that learners are not only prepared for examinations but also for future leadership roles in society.
Atan Ota, where the school is located, is within a fast-developing area of Ogun State, making the college accessible to families in nearby towns and cities. The school's reputation for discipline and academic achievement continues to attract attention from education-conscious parents.
Understanding the UTME and Its Importance
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is a critical examination for students seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions. It is administered by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and serves as a measure of a candidate's readiness for higher education. A high UTME score is often a deciding factor in gaining admission to competitive courses.
Welkin International College's performance in the 2026 UTME, including the 98 scored by one student in Mathematics, reinforces the school's standing as an institution that values academic rigor. The college's management believes that its consistent achievements in examinations and competitions are the result of a strong foundation in teaching and a culture of excellence.
The college's leadership expressed optimism that the ongoing admission exercise will further consolidate Welkin's position as a leading secondary school in Ogun State. Interested parents are advised to visit the school's campus or official communication channels for details on admission requirements and available facilities.
