FUTA Post UTME Form 2026/2027 | How To Apply

FUTA Post UTME Form 2026/2027: An education consultant who has facilitated countless students into the coveted “Great FUTA,” I can confidently tell you that the Federal University of Technology, Akure, is one of the best and most competitive technology-based schools in Nigeria. So, to get to the 2026/2027 session, aside from a tremendous score on your JAMB, you need to develop the right strategy towards the Post-UTME. This guide contains all of the information you need to know to successfully go through the process.

What is FUTA Post-UTME?

The Post-UTME means the internal screening process of FUTA.

Why is it important? FUTA receives a deluge of applications annually. This post-UTME sorts the cream of candidates. The exam is usually CBT-oriented to test how fast and accurately you can be in subjects related to your field of study. In this case, your performance here seals your final “Aggregate Score.”

Eligibility Requirements

Admission for the 2026/2027 Screening will be based on, and only on, the following:

• Choice of Institution: FUTA must have been chosen as the first choice.
• UTME Score: Officially, the cut-off for 2026 has not come out yet as of mid this year. However, FUTA has always put a baseline minimum of 180. But if you want to take highly competitive courses, such as Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering, you may want to aim higher at 250 and above.
• O-Level Results: Applicants must have at least five credit passes in relevant subjects (including English and Mathematics) at not more than two sittings.
• Direct Entry (DE): All the DE applicants who applied to the institution are to possess an Upper Credit in ND/HND or relevant points in IJMB/JUPEB/A-Levels and also register for the screening.

Screening Format: The CBT Exam

FUTA always organizes a Computer-Based Test (CBT) on the Akure Campus.

• Subjects: You will be tested on the four subjects you sat for in JAMB.
• Duration: The examination is usually very fast, often 25 to 50 questions that must be completed in a short time.

This screening, or a separate proficiency test, is sometimes required for DE candidates who are directly admitted into the programs.

Required Documents for Registration

Have these digital copies ready before you start:

• Original JAMB Result Slip.
• O-Level Result: WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
• Passport Photograph with a white or red background.
• Evidence of payment via Remita.
• Step-by-Step Registration Guide

The registration is usually handled via the FUTA Portal.

1. Login: Enter the Post-UTME portal with your JAMB Registration Number.
2. Generate Invoice: Generation of a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) for the screening fee, usually ₦2,000.
3. Payment: Online payment or at any commercial bank in the country.
4. Biodata Update: Fill out your biodata section by completing the necessary details, and then upload
5. Result Entry: Enter O-Level results carefully.
6. Print Slip: You may print your Post-UTME Registration Slip to know your examination date and time.

Calculation of Aggregate Score

The final score is based on a weighted formula. For past years, the standard formula is:

Example: For instance, if you score 280 JAMB and 60 for Post-UTME:

• JAMB Component: 280 / 8 = 35
• Component of the post-UTME exam: 60 / 2
• Total Aggregate 65

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong Subject Combinations: Your JAMB subjects may not match those required for the chosen course by FUTA (e.g., if you want to study Engineering but did not credit Physics).
• Incomplete JAMB CAPS Upload. In case your O-Level results are not sent via JAMB CAPS, FUTA can’t process your admission, unless you pass the Post-UTME.
• Blurry Documents: Confirm that scanned results are not blurry because if an admission officer can’t read your grades, you can’t get admitted.

Expert Admission Tips

1. Speed is Key: FUTA’s CBT is known for being ‘Fast and Furious.’ Practice past questions dedicated to FUTA to improve your speed.
2. Target Aggregate 70+ For courses with high competition, such as Architecture, Medicine, or Software Engineering, a target aggregate score above 70 is vital.
3. Check Catchment Areas: The Catchment areas for FUTA are Ekiti, Lagos, Osun, Ondo, Oyo, and Ogun. Therefore, if you did not source from these areas, you have to score above the “Merit” mark to qualify.
