"With JAMB results released, universities are beginning to set dates for post-UTME screening. Here is how to stay ahead."
With the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) having released the results for the 2026 UTME, the spotlight now turns to the post-UTME screening exercises. Nigerian universities, both federal and state-owned, are expected to announce their specific admission requirements and screening dates in the coming weeks. Candidates are advised to stay alert, as each university typically operates an independent timeline.
Preparation for the post-UTME is just as important as the initial UTME. Many universities will utilize a combination of the UTME score and their internal test scores to arrive at the final aggregate for admission. Candidates are strongly encouraged to source past questions from their target institutions to understand the format and subject weighting of the screening exams.
Beyond academics, candidates must ensure all documentation, including local government identification and O'Level certificates, are readily available. Many institutions have now migrated their entire screening process online, requiring candidates to register via the university's official portal. It is essential to double-check that the institution you have chosen is listed as a preferred option on your JAMB profile, as any mismatch will result in automatic disqualification from the admission process. If you scored 150 or above, start checking the official website of your target university for the latest circulars.
