Is the UNIABUJA Post-UTME Form Out for 2026/2027?

No. As of July 2026, the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) has not yet released its Post-UTME registration portal for the 2026/2027 academic session.

The University of Abuja management officially confirmed that the Post-UTME registration portal for the 2026/2027 academic session has not been opened for applications yet, and that the sale of the Post-UTME screening form would be widely publicised to commence the process. This statement was made specifically to address the spread of fraudulent admission-related information being circulated by unauthorised individuals, social media platforms, and unofficial websites.

Based on last year's pattern (August 14 – September 5, 2025), the portal is expected to open sometime in August 2026. Candidates who scored 180 and above and chose UNIABUJA as their first choice should prepare now — the window will be tight once it opens.

Does UNIABUJA Conduct a Post-UTME Exam?

This is one of the most searched questions about UNIABUJA, and the answer has changed over recent years.

Based on the most recent confirmed session (2025/2026), UNIABUJA did not conduct a physical Post-UTME aptitude test — the screening was done entirely online, based on your JAMB score and O'Level results. The university has moved away from the traditional written exam format.

This means there is no exam hall, no CBT centre to travel to, and no exam date to prepare for in the traditional sense. Your admission outcome is determined by your aggregate score, calculated from what you already have.

This is expected to continue for 2026/2027, though UNIABUJA should always be checked directly for any format changes before the portal opens.

UNIABUJA Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027

The UNIABUJA minimum cut-off mark is 180. Candidates who scored below 180 in the 2026 UTME are not eligible to register, regardless of which course they're applying for.

Meeting the 180 minimum only qualifies you to apply — competitive courses require much higher effective scores once JAMB and O'Level performance are combined into an aggregate.

Who Is Eligible to Apply

• You sat for the 2026 UTME and scored 180 or above
• You chose University of Abuja as your first choice in JAMB, OR you have already completed a Change of Institution to UNIABUJA on JAMB CAPS
• You have at least five O'Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings
• Your O'Level results are already uploaded on JAMB CAPS — not just available on paper, but confirmed on the portal
• You are at least 16 years old by September 30, 2026
• Your result is not "awaiting" — candidates with pending results are not eligible until results are confirmed

How UNIABUJA Calculates Your Score

Since there's no separate exam, your screening score comes entirely from two inputs: your JAMB score and your O'Level performance. UNIABUJA converts both into an aggregate on a 100-point scale, with JAMB contributing the dominant share.

This makes your O'Level grades directly relevant to your admission chances — two candidates with the same JAMB score but different O'Level grades can have meaningfully different aggregates, which determines who gets offered a place.

Warning: Avoid Scams

UNIABUJA specifically warned that the university has not released any information, advertisement, or announcement for the 2026/2027 admission exercise as of mid-2026. Anyone claiming to have access to a UNIABUJA 2026/2027 Post-UTME form before an official announcement is not legitimate.

• Only apply through portal.uniabuja.edu.ng
• All payment goes through Remita only
• UNIABUJA does not use agents or third-party platforms for screening
