Post-UTME Forms 2026: All Universities Still Selling, Deadlines, Prices and How to Apply

📌 Quick Summary: This is the live, updated master list of all Nigerian universities selling Post-UTME screening forms for 2026/2027 admission — with deadlines, prices, and direct application links. Updated daily as new announcements are made.

You have your JAMB score. Your O’Level results are uploaded. Now comes the next critical step that many candidates underestimate: the Post-UTME screening. Most Nigerian universities do not admit candidates based on JAMB scores alone — they conduct their own additional screening, and the form for that screening must be purchased and completed separately. Missing the Post-UTME deadline is one of the most avoidable ways to lose an admission opportunity. This page lists every university currently selling forms, with deadlines and how to apply.

What Is Post-UTME and Why Does It Matter?

Post-UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is the supplementary screening process through which Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education verify and further evaluate candidates for admission beyond their JAMB scores. It typically involves one or more of the following: an institution-specific aptitude or knowledge test, document screening and verification of O’Level results, a computer-based test (CBT) at the institution’s testing centre, or an online screening using your JAMB scores and O’Level results (used by institutions that have replaced physical tests with digital verification).

Your JAMB score gets you considered. Your Post-UTME score or screening outcome determines whether you are actually offered a place. Both matter — and at many institutions, the Post-UTME carries significant weight in the final admission calculation.

How to Apply for Post-UTME: General Steps

1. Check that you meet the institution’s JAMB cut-off. Each institution publishes a minimum JAMB score for Post-UTME eligibility. Applying below that threshold wastes your money.
2. Visit the institution’s official website. All legitimate Post-UTME forms are sold through official portals. Do not buy forms from agents, third-party websites, or individuals.
3. Purchase the application form. Prices range from ₦1,500 to ₦5,000 depending on the institution. Payment is typically made via the institution’s portal using your ATM card, Remita, or bank transfer.
4. Complete the online form. Enter your JAMB registration number, personal details, O’Level results, and upload required documents (passport photograph, O’Level results).
5. Print your acknowledgement slip. Keep this — you will need it if a physical screening or CBT is scheduled.
6. Attend the screening or CBT. Some institutions conduct online-only screening; others require physical presence at the campus. Check your institution’s specific requirements.

Post-UTME Preparation: How to Score High

If your institution conducts a scored Post-UTME test (as opposed to pure document screening), preparation matters enormously — especially at competitive institutions where the Post-UTME score carries up to 40% of the admission weight. Key preparation strategies: study your four UTME subjects again, focusing on past questions specific to your institution (widely available in Nigerian bookshops and on apps like Exam Success); practise with CBT software under timed conditions; and pay particular attention to English Comprehension and Use of English, which appear in almost every institution’s Post-UTME regardless of your course. Most institutions release past Post-UTME questions on their official websites or through their student union bodies — use them.

Post-UTME Scam Warning

Post-UTME season is the single most active period for Nigerian university admission fraud. Common scams include: fake university portals that collect payment but provide nothing; agents claiming to “guarantee” Post-UTME success for a fee; WhatsApp groups selling “leaked” Post-UTME questions (the questions are not leaked — you are being scammed); and individuals claiming to be university staff who can “process” your admission. Protect yourself: buy your form only from the institution’s official .edu.ng website, never share your login details, and report suspicious contacts to the institution’s student affairs office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Post-UTME compulsory for all Nigerian universities?

Not universally — some universities have replaced the traditional Post-UTME test with document screening and JAMB score verification. Check your specific institution’s current requirement.

What is the minimum JAMB score for Post-UTME?

It varies by institution — typically between 140 and 200. Check the specific institution’s stated minimum before purchasing a form.

Can I apply for Post-UTME at more than one university?

Yes — you can purchase and complete Post-UTME forms at multiple institutions simultaneously. This increases your chances of receiving at least one offer, though you can only accept one JAMB admission on CAPS.

How long does Post-UTME take?

The CBT or screening typically takes 1–2 hours. The complete process from form purchase to result announcement usually spans 2–6 weeks depending on the institution.
