FUWUKARI Post UTME/DE Screening Form 2026/2027

FUWUKARI Post UTME/DE Screening Form 2026/2027: As an experienced education consultant and admission officer, I’ve seen many qualified students miss out on admission simply because they didn’t follow the right steps. Federal University Wukari (FUWukari) is a fast-growing institution in Taraba State, and for the 2026/2027 academic session, you need to be strategic to secure your spot.

This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the FUWukari Post-UTME process.

What is Post-UTME and Why Does it Matter?

Post-UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is the final screening step after your JAMB exam. It allows the university to verify your results and suitability for your chosen course.

At FUWukari, this is a mandatory screening. If you don’t register and participate, you cannot be considered for admission, regardless of how high your JAMB score is.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the FUWukari 2026/2027 screening, you must meet these conditions:

• First Choice: You must have chosen Federal University Wukari as your First Choice institution. (In some years, the university considers second-choice candidates, but first-choice applicants are always prioritized).

• Minimum UTME Score: While official cut-offs vary by course, the general minimum is usually 150.

  • Competitive Courses: Expect higher cut-offs for courses like MBBS (240+), Law (220+), and Engineering or Nursing (200+).

• O’Level Requirements: At least five (5) credits in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in no more than two sittings.

• Age: You must be at least 16 years old by the time of admission.

Screening Format (What to Expect)

FUWukari traditionally uses an Online Screening/Document Verification format. This means:

• You typically do not need to travel to the campus for a computer-based test (CBT).

• Your admission chances are calculated based on your JAMB score and the O’level results you upload.

• Note: Always check your registration slip, as the university reserves the right to introduce a physical interview or CBT for specific departments.

4. Required Documents and Information

Before starting your registration, have these ready:

• JAMB Registration Number and Original Result Slip.

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

• Digital Passport Photograph: Must have a Red Background, be in JPEG format, and usually under 25KB.

• Local Government Indigene Certificate.

• Birth Certificate or Age Declaration.

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

1. Visit the Portal: Go to the FUWukari Undergraduate Portal.

2. Login: Enter your JAMB Registration Number and Surname as your default password.

3. Generate Invoice: Click on “Pre-Admission Screening” to generate a payment invoice for the N2,000 screening fee.

4. Make Payment: Pay online via Remita using your ATM card or at any commercial bank branch.

5. Fill Bio-data: After payment, log back in to fill out your personal details and upload your red-background passport.

6. Upload Results: Enter your O’level grades carefully. If you are a Direct Entry (DE) candidate, upload your Diploma or NCE results.

7. Final Submission: Review all entries and print your Registration Acknowledgment Slip.

Important Dates and Deadlines

The university has not yet announced the official dates for the 2026 session.

• Expected Start Date: Usually between August and October.

• Closing Date: Often 4–6 weeks after the portal opens.

• Advice: Register as soon as the portal opens to avoid network issues during the final week.

How Admission is Calculated

FUWukari uses an Aggregate Scoring System to rank candidates.

Your final score is usually a combination of:

• JAMB Score (50-60%): Your score is weighted to reflect its importance.

• O’Level Points (40-50%): Points are awarded for grades (A1, B2, etc.) in your five core subjects.

• Bonus Points: Sometimes awarded for choosing the school as first choice or for candidates from the university’s “catchment area.”

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Wrong Passport Background: FUWukari is strict about the Red Background. Using white or blue can lead to disqualification.

2. Mismatched Names: Ensure the name on your JAMB profile matches your O’level certificate exactly.

3. Failure to Upload to JAMB CAPS: This is the #1 reason students don’t get admission. You must upload your O’level results at a JAMB-accredited CBT center, not just on the school portal.

4. Using Invalid Email: All official communication goes to your registered email. Use one you can access.

Admission Tips for Success

• Check JAMB CAPS Regularly: Once you’ve registered for the Post-UTME, start checking your JAMB CAPS “Admission Status” section weekly.

• Target High O’Levels: If your JAMB score is slightly low, having several A1s or B2s in your O’levels can pull your aggregate score up.

• Ensure Subject Combination: Make sure your JAMB subjects match the requirements for your course in the JAMB Brochure.
