The POP examination is NOUN’s primary mode of end-of-semester assessment, conducted at designated study centres and examination centres across the country. Unlike the e-exam format, POP exams require students to write their answers on paper under supervised conditions. The 2026_1 timetable spans 16 examination days, with exams held at 8:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 2:00 p.m. (or 3:00 p.m. on select days).
The timetable is divided into two blocks. Days 1 to 8 (4th–12th May) cover courses from the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Computing, Faculty of Education, and Faculty of Management Sciences. Days 9 to 16 (13th–21st May) cover the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, and Faculty of Social Sciences. Students should check the timetable carefully to identify when each of their registered courses is scheduled.

How to Use the NOUN POP Exam Timetable
Preparing for the POP examination starts with understanding how the timetable is structured. The exams run in three daily sessions across 16 days. Each session lists multiple courses simultaneously, and students only sit for the courses they registered for on the NOUN student portal.
Students should log in to their NOUN portal account and confirm their registered courses for the 2026_1 semester. Cross-reference each course code against the timetable above to identify the exact date and time of each exam. Take note of any days where you have multiple exams scheduled across different time slots, and plan your revision accordingly.
It is important to arrive at your designated examination centre well before the start time for each session. Bring your student identification, exam docket, and any materials permitted by the university. The “No ID, No Exam” policy is strictly enforced at all NOUN examination centres.

Final Thoughts
The NOUN 2026_1 POP Exam Timetable covers 16 examination days from 4th to 21st May 2026, with courses from all nine faculties scheduled across three daily time slots. Students at the National Open University of Nigeria should study this timetable carefully, confirm their registered courses on the NOUN portal, and begin preparing for each exam well in advance.
Pay close attention to the faculty groupings. If your courses fall under Arts, Computing, Education, or Management Sciences, your exams are concentrated in the first eight days (4th–12th May). If your courses are in Agricultural Sciences, Law, Science, Health Sciences, or Social Sciences, your exams fall in the second block (13th–21st May). Some students with courses across multiple faculties may have exams in both blocks.
