FUDMA Post UTME/Direct Entry Form for 2026/2027 Is Out

FUDMA Post UTME/Direct Entry Form for 2026/2027: The process of securing admission into the Federal University Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, is a rigorous one. As an education consultant, I have helped many students through this process, and I have come to realize that what makes the difference between a successful admission letter and a “not admitted” status is, in most cases, the Post-UTME details. The requirements for admission into the Federal University Dutsin-Ma for the 2026/2027 academic session are still stringent, especially for different faculties.

What is FUDMA Post-UTME?

The internal screening process in FUDMA is known as the Post-UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination). Why is it important? The Post-UTME is a verification process in which your JAMB claims are verified against your O-Level results. The Post-UTME also provides an opportunity for ranking in courses such as Nursing, Law, Engineering, etc. Without undergoing the screening process, you cannot be considered for admission, regardless of how high your JAMB score is.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the 2026/2027 screening, you must meet the following:

• Choice of Institution: You must have chosen Federal University Dutsin-Ma as your First Choice.

• UTME Score: While the official 2026 cut-offs are finalized mid-year, FUDMA typically uses a tiered system based on the previous year:

  • 180 and above: For Nursing, Law, Engineering, and Basic Medical Sciences.

  • 160 and above: For Microbiology, Biochemistry, Sociology, and Mass Communication.

  • 150 and above: For most other courses in Agriculture, Education, and Arts.

• Direct Entry (DE): DE applicants must have at least a Lower Credit in ND, 9 points at NCE, or 6 points at IJMB.

Screening Format

FUDMA usually employs a Hybrid Screening System, comprising the following:

• Computer-Based Test (CBT): UTME candidates are usually invited for an aptitude test.
• Physical Verification: The successful candidates then undergo a physical screening, whereby their original documents (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB certificates, birth certificates, etc.) are verified.

Required Documents for Registration

Have these items ready (digital copies for upload and originals for physical screening):

• JAMB Original Result Slip.

• O-Level Result(s) (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB).

• A clear, digital Passport Photograph (usually under 100kb).

• Local Government Indigene Certificate.

• Birth Certificate or Declaration of Age.

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

The registration is conducted via the FUDMA Portal.

1. Create Account: Go to the portal and click “Start Here” to create an account with your JAMB Registration Number and a valid email.
2. Email Verification: Verify your account by clicking the link sent to your email.
3. Payment: Generate Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) and pay the screening fee of ₦2,000 online or at any commercial bank.
4. Biodata & Result Entry: Log in again to input your biodata, then input your O-Level grades carefully.
5. Submit & Print: Verify your details and print your Acknowledgement Slip and Payment Receipt.

Calculation of Aggregate Score

FUDMA utilizes a weighted system in the ranking of candidates. The most common model is: Candidates with high grades in core subjects, such as Physics and Chemistry in the case of Engineering, tend to be favored in the selection process.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Incorrect Phone/Email: You may miss your invitation for the CBT exam if you use cyber cafe email. Use your personal one.
• JAMB CAPS Neglect: You must upload your O-Level results on the JAMB CAPS portal through an accredited CBT center. If your results are not on CAPS, FUDMA cannot give you admission.
• Awaiting Result (AR) Errors: If you registered with AR, please ensure you upload your results on the FUDMA portal as soon as they are released.
• Name Mismatches: Your name on your O-Level results must match your JAMB profile exactly.

Expert Admission Tips

1. Register Early: FUDMA portals may be slow towards the end of the registration period. It is ideal to register within the first week.
2. For the CBT: FUDMA’s CBT may include English, Mathematics, and General Paper. It is important to be fast and accurate.
3. Catchment Area: FUDMA is a Federal school, but it accepts candidates from catchment states (Katsina, Kaduna, Kano, and so on). If you are not from these states, it is ideal to score at least 20 points above the cut-off mark.
