📌 Overview
The 2026/2027 academic session is officially underway with several top-tier federal universities commencing their Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) and Direct Entry screening exercises. As of mid-September, institutions such as Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria and the University of Uyo (UniUyo) have directed prospective candidates to their respective portals to initiate the payment and registration process via the Remita platform.
This year's admission cycle is characterized by a tighter integration with JAMB’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). Candidates are strictly advised to ensure their O'Level results are uploaded to the JAMB portal before finalizing university-specific registrations, as inconsistencies remain the primary cause of admission failure.
