IBBU Post UTME/DE Screening Form 2026/2027: Have you been targeting entry into Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai? With its consistent academic schedule and developing research centers, IBBU has become one of the most sought-after institutions in Niger State and Nigeria.
As an education consultant whose experience entails guiding many students into the IBBU screening portal, I can assure you that IBBU has developed a very stringent digital screening process. A slight oversight while submitting your details may lead to your being blocked from entering. This is a complete guide on what you should know about the 2026/2027 Post-UTME/DE Screening.
Applicant Eligible for IBBU Post UTME Screening
To gain access to the 2026/2027 screening portal, you must meet the following criteria:
-
First Choice Preference: You must have selected Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, as your First Choice institution. If you chose them as a second choice, you must apply for a Change of Institution on the JAMB portal before registering.
-
JAMB Cut-off Mark: The baseline institutional minimum required to check your eligibility on the portal is 150. While a score of 150 grants portal access for general programs, highly competitive courses like Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, or Computer Science typically see higher internal merit cut-offs during final selection.
-
O’Level Grid: A minimum of five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects (including English Language and Mathematics) obtained in not more than two sittings. IBBU accepts WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, and NBAIS.
