How Post-UTME works in 2026

Every Nigerian university runs its own Post-UTME screening, a second filter that sits on top of your JAMB UTME score. The national minimum cut-off can change each year, but individual schools publish their own course-level cut-offs and registration windows.

Because universities publish deadlines independently, candidates can lose admission chances simply by missing the portal-close date. This tracker monitors Nigerian universities and polytechnics and flags confirmed deadlines as they are published.

What to prepare before the window opens

  • JAMB result slip printed from the official JAMB portal.
  • O'Level results from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
  • Passport photograph with white background and small file size.
  • Birth certificate or declaration of age for institutions that require it.
  • Post-UTME fee based on each school's official instructions.

Don't fall for "aggregate score hacks"

Every university uses its own aggregate formula. Rely on school-official portal pages and verified notices, not social posts claiming leaked cut-offs or guaranteed scores.

Common questions

When do Post-UTME registrations open for 2026?
Most Nigerian universities open Post-UTME registration 2-3 weeks after JAMB releases UTME results. For 2026, expect windows to open between late June and early July and run for 3-6 weeks.
How much is Post-UTME?
Federal universities typically charge N2,000 to N2,500. State universities range from N2,500 to N3,500. Private universities are usually higher depending on the school.
What documents do I need for Post-UTME?
JAMB result slip, O'Level result, JAMB registration number, birth certificate or declaration of age, and a recent passport photograph. Most universities also require a valid ID.
Can I apply to multiple universities for Post-UTME?
Yes. Post-UTME is conducted by each university separately. You can apply to as many as you can afford, though JAMB only allows one first-choice institution.
What if I miss a Post-UTME deadline?
You lose the admission chance at that school for the cycle. A few universities open supplementary screenings, but they are rare. Use Change of Institution on CAPS to pivot to schools still accepting.
