" SLU’s 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening closes October 4, while FUMHSF registration runs until October 21. See eligibility, fees and official portals."
Candidates have two important Post-UTME dates to watch this week
Candidates seeking admission for the 2026/2027 academic session should pay attention to two current screening windows verified on Friday, October 2, 2026.
Sule Lamido University, Kafin Hausa (SLU) says its UTME and Direct Entry screening registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Meanwhile, the Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences, Funtua (FUMHSF) opened its online Post-UTME screening portal on September 30 and will keep it open until Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
Both universities require candidates to use official portals, upload the requested credentials and complete the process before the stated deadline. A candidate should not wait for a social-media reminder if the official portal is already open.
> Important: Registration for screening is not the same as an admission offer. Candidates must still satisfy the institution’s requirements, compete for available spaces and complete the approved admission process.

Candidates must have selected FUMHSF as their first-choice institution and must meet the threshold for their chosen programme. Candidates who did not select the university but wish to apply must complete a change of institution through JAMB first.
Documents required for FUMHSF screening
The university instructs candidates to upload:
- JAMB result slip;
- WAEC, NECO or NABTEB O’Level result; and
- Birth certificate or declaration of age.
FUMHSF also specifically instructs candidates to upload their O’Level results on
both the university admission portal and JAMB CAPS.
Candidates should use a valid telephone number and email address, review every entry and save the acknowledgement or application slip after submission.
JAMB’s national minimum score is not the same as a school cut-off
JAMB’s official website states that the 2026 Policy Meeting approved these minimum tolerable admission scores:
- Universities: 150
- Colleges of Nursing: 150
- Polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of agriculture and colleges of education: 100
- Innovation Enterprise Institutions: 100
The minimum admission age remains
16.
These are national minimums, not automatic admission scores. A university or programme may require a higher score, as FUMHSF’s programme table demonstrates.
Read the official JAMB website and use the CampusAI Aggregate Calculator to organise your score information. The calculator is a planning tool and does not replace the institution’s official admission decision.
