FUNAAB Post UTME Form 2026/2027 | Eligibility and How To Apply
FUNAABPost UTME Form 2026/2027: Preparing for admission into the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) requires more than just a high JAMB score. As an education consultant, I have seen brilliant students miss out simply because they didn’t understand the “FUNAAB way.”
This guide breaks down everything you need for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening to ensure your application is successful.
What is FUNAAB Post-UTME?
Post-UTME is the “Pre-Admission Screening” that FUNAAB uses to filter thousands of applicants. Since FUNAAB is a specialized university, this process is strict. It verifies your O’Level results and JAMB scores to create a Composite Score—the final number that decides if you get admitted.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for the 2026/2027 session, you must meet these standards:
-
Choice of Institution: You must have chosen FUNAAB as your First Choice.
-
JAMB Cut-off Mark: * 160: For most Agricultural programmes (e.g., Animal Production, Crop Protection).
-
180–200: For competitive courses like Computer Science, Engineering, Microbiology, and Biochemistry.
-
-
O’Level Credits: You need five (5) credits in English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.
-
Note: FUNAAB does not accept Agricultural Science in place of Biology for most courses.
-
Sitting: A maximum of two sittings is allowed.
-
-
Direct Entry (DE): You must have a minimum of Upper Credit (for ND/HND) or a good NCE/A-Level result in relevant fields.
Screening Format: Is there an exam?
Traditionally, FUNAAB does not conduct a physical CBT exam for Post-UTME. Instead, they use an Online Document Screening.
Your admission is calculated based on your JAMB score and your O’Level grades (WAEC/NECO). However, for the 2026/2027 session, always check your portal after registration in case the Senate introduces a “Virtual Screening” or interactive session.

How the Aggregate Score is Calculated
FUNAAB uses a Composite Grading System (Ratio 50:20:30):
-
JAMB (50%): Your JAMB score divided by 8.
-
O’Level (20%): Points assigned to your 5 core subjects ($A1=6pts, B2=5pts… C6=1pt$).
-
Screening/Post-UTME (30%): Points based on your performance in the online screening process.
Total Score = JAMB Points + O’Level Points + Screening Points.
Common Mistakes & Admission Tips
Mistakes to Avoid:
-
Wrong Subject Combination: Registering for “Agricultural Science” instead of “Biology” in JAMB.
-
Double Sittings Penalty: FUNAAB often deducts a small point (around 1%) if you use two sittings.
-
Incomplete CAPS: Forgetting to upload your O’Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal. If CAPS says “No Result,” FUNAAB cannot admit you.
Expert Tips for Success:
-
Check the Brochure: Ensure your O’Level subjects match the specific department. For example, some courses in the College of Environmental Management require Geography.
-
Accuracy is King: Errors in your O’Level grades during registration can lead to automatic disqualification during physical clearance—even if you’ve been “admitted.”
