Federal Polytechnic Bauchi, in affiliation with the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), has officially released the approved academic calendar for the 2025/2026 degree programme session, giving prospective and returning students a clear timeline for the new academic year.
According to the released schedule, academic activities for degree students will commence in October 2025 with screening of newly admitted candidates, followed by registration and lectures in subsequent months. The calendar outlines key academic milestones including lecture periods, examinations, public holidays, marking of scripts, and official consideration of results.
This development is particularly important for degree applicants, parents, guardians, education consultants, admission coaches, and scholarship platforms, as it confirms when academic activities will officially begin and end at Federal Polytechnic Bauchi under its UNIMAID affiliation.
The institution has structured the first semester to accommodate national public holidays and religious festivities such as Eid-Ul-Fitr, Eid-Ul-Kabir, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and Workers’ Day, ensuring minimal disruption to academic flow while maintaining compliance with national standards.
Students are strongly advised to take note of critical dates such as lecture commencement, examination periods, and result consideration timelines, as failure to comply with institutional deadlines may attract penalties, late registration fees, or loss of academic privileges.
With this calendar now public, stakeholders can confidently plan for accommodation, tuition payments, student loans, academic funding, transport logistics, and personal schedules ahead of the 2025/2026 academic session.
Below is the officially extracted academic calendar as released by the management of Federal Polytechnic Bauchi.
