MAUTECH Post UTME Form for 2026/2027 | See Eligibility and How To Apply

MAUTECH Post UTME Form for 2026/2027: As an experienced education consultant and admission officer, I’ve seen many qualified students lose their admission to Modibbo Adama University (MAU)—formerly known as MAUTECH—not because of their grades, but due to simple technical errors during registration.

As we approach the 2026/2027 academic session, you need a clear strategy. This guide is designed to walk you through the process as if we were sitting in my office together.

What is Post-UTME and Why is it Important?

Post-UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is the screening process conducted by MAU Yola to determine who is truly eligible for admission.

At MAU, this serves as a verification of your records. Since the university often uses an online screening system, your data must be 100% accurate. If you skip this registration, the university will not see you on their list of applicants, and JAMB will be unable to offer you admission to the school.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for the 2026/2027 screening, you must meet these criteria:

• Choice of Institution: MAU Yola must be your First Choice. If not, visit a JAMB CBT center to change it immediately.

• JAMB Score: The general minimum cut-off is usually 160. However, for competitive courses like Architecture, Computer Science, or Engineering, you should target 180–200+.

• O’Level Results: Five (5) credits in relevant subjects, including English and Mathematics, in no more than two sittings.

• Direct Entry (DE): DE applicants need a minimum of Lower Credit in ND, Merit in NCE, or 9 points in IJMB.

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

Post- TME Screening Format

MAU Yola typically utilizes a Hybrid Screening Format:

• Online Document Verification: Most candidates simply upload their results and documents online. There is often no physical entrance exam for general courses.

• Aptitude Test for Professional Courses: Historically, candidates for MBBS (Medicine) and Law are invited for a physical CBT Aptitude Test at the University ICT Centre in Yola.

Required Documents for Registration

Gather these before sitting at a computer:

• JAMB Original Result Slip.

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

• Passport Photograph: Must be clear with a Red Background (JPEG format, usually under 150KB).

• Signature: A scanned copy of your formal signature.

• Local Government Indigene Certificate & Birth Certificate.

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

1. Visit the Portal: Go to the official MAU Admission Portal.

2. Verify JAMB Number: Enter your JAMB Registration Number to start.

3. Basic Info: Provide a functional phone number and a working email address (you will receive a confirmation link).

4. Pay Screening Fee: Generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) for the non-refundable fee of N2,000. Pay online or at any bank.

5. Upload Documents: Upload your passport (red background) and your O’level results.

   • Crucial: Ensure you enter your result checker scratch card details for O’level verification.

6. Submit & Print: Review your details, submit, and print your Application Slip.

Important Dates & Deadlines

Official dates for 2026 are not yet released, but based on the 2025 pattern:

• Applications Open: Usually early August.

• Applications Close: Typically late August or early September.

• Aptitude Tests (MBBS/Law): Often held 1–2 weeks after registration closes.

How the Admission Score is Calculated

MAU Yola uses an aggregate calculation to rank candidates.

While the formula can shift, it generally follows a 50:50 or 60:40 ratio between your JAMB score and your O’level points.

• JAMB Weight: Your JAMB score is divided by 8.

• O’Level Weight: Points are assigned to your grades (A1 = 10pts, B2 = 9pts, etc.) for your five core subjects.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong Passport Background: Many students use white or blue. Use Red to avoid issues.

• Inconsistent Names: Ensure the name on your O’level matches your JAMB profile perfectly.

• Skipping JAMB CAPS: You must upload your O’level results to the JAMB portal (CAPS). If it’s only on the MAU portal but not on JAMB, you won’t get admission.

• Incorrect Scratch Card Details: Entering a wrong PIN/Serial number for your WAEC/NECO verification will lead to “Pending” status.

Admission Tips for Success

• First Choice is King: MAU rarely considers second-choice candidates. Make them your first choice early.

• Check the New Courses: MAU recently added 16 new programmes (like Data Science, Cyber Security, and Software Engineering). These often have less competition than older courses.

• Be Early: Complete your registration within the first week to avoid portal glitches common during the final days.
