FULAFIA Post UTME/DE Form 2026/2027 | See Eligibility and How To Apply

FULAFIA Post UTME/DE Form 2025/2026: As an education consultant who has guided thousands of students through the Nigerian university admission maze, I have put together this definitive guide for the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) 2026/2027 Post-UTME. Applying to a Federal University can be stressful, but if you follow the right steps, you can significantly increase your chances of seeing “Admitted” on your JAMB CAPS.

What is Post-UTME and Why is it Important?

Post-UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is the internal screening process conducted by Nigerian universities after the JAMB exam.

At FULafia, this screening is the final bridge between you and your admission. It allows the university to verify your JAMB scores, O’level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB), and personal data. Without participating in this exercise, even a JAMB score of 300 will not get you into the university.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for the FULafia 2026/2027 screening, you must meet the following criteria based on established institutional standards:

• Choice of Institution: You must have chosen Federal University Lafia as your First Choice.

• O’Level Results: Minimum of five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects (including English Language and Mathematics) in not more than two sittings.

• JAMB Cut-off Marks: While the general cut-off is usually 170, specific competitive courses require higher scores. Based on previous sessions, here is a guide:

  • MBBS (Medicine & Surgery): 230 and above

  • Medical Laboratory Science: 220 and above

  • Nursing and Radiography: 210 and above

  • Human Anatomy and Physiology: 200 and above

  • Other Programs: 170 and above

• Direct Entry (DE): DE candidates must possess a minimum of Merit grade (for NCE), Lower Credit (for National Diploma), or appropriate IJMB/A-Level points.

Screening Format

For the 2026/2027 session, FULafia is expected to continue its Online Screening format.

Note: There is usually no physical Computer Based Test (CBT) for the Post-UTME. Instead, your admission is calculated based on an aggregate of your JAMB score and your O’Level grades. However, always check the portal for any updates regarding physical verification.

Required Documents for Registration

Have these ready before you start your online application:

1. JAMB Original Result Slip.

2. O’Level Result(s) (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB).

3. O’Level Scratch card(s) for result verification.

4. A valid Email Address and Phone Number.

5. Passport photograph (usually with a red or white background).

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

1. Visit the Portal: Go to the official FULafia portal at my.fulafia.edu.ng.

2. Create Account: Click on “APPLY” and select “Post UTME Application 2026/2027.”

3. Login Credentials: Enter your JAMB Registration Number, a valid email, and a password.

4. Payment: Generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) and pay the non-refundable screening fee of N2,000. Payment can be made online via card or at any commercial bank branch.

5. Profile Update: Log in using your unique ID (usually starts with FULUG…) and complete your biodata.

6. Upload Results: Enter your O’Level subjects and grades. Provide the scratch card details for verification.

7. Final Submission: Cross-check every detail. Once submitted, printing the “Application Summary” and “Payment Receipt” is vital.

Important Dates and Deadlines

Official dates for the 2026/2027 session are typically announced by the university Registrar.

• Registration usually starts: July/August.

• Registration usually ends: September/October.

• Recommendation: Do not wait until the final week. System traffic often causes portal crashes during the last 48 hours of registration.

How the Admission Score is Calculated

FULafia uses a weighted aggregate system. While the exact formula can vary slightly by department, it generally follows this pattern:

• JAMB Score: Weighted at 50%.

• O’Level Results: Weighted at 20-30% (A1s and B2s carry higher points than C6s).

• Screening Score: Weighted at 20-30%.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong JAMB Subject Combination: Ensure your JAMB subjects match the requirements for your course at FULafia.

• O’Level Upload Failures: Many students forget to upload their results on the JAMB CAPS portal. If your result is not on CAPS, FULafia cannot offer you admission.

• Awaiting Result (AR): If you are using AR, ensure you update it on the FULafia portal as soon as the result is released.

• Inconsistent Names: Ensure the name on your JAMB profile matches your O’Level certificates exactly.

Admission Tips for Success

1. Monitor JAMB CAPS: Check your “Admission Status” and “Transfer Approval” tabs frequently.

2. Verify Your Email: FULafia often sends critical updates via email. Use one you can access easily.

3. Consider Course Changes: If your JAMB score is slightly below the cut-off for a competitive course like Medicine, be open to changing to a related course like Biochemistry to secure admission.
