Tech-U Post UTME Screening Form 2026/2027 Is Now Available

Tech-U Post UTME Screening Form 2026/2027: As an education consultant who has watched First Technical University, Ibadan (now renamed Abiola Ajimobi Technical University – Tech-U) grow into a hub for innovation, I can tell you that this institution is unique. Unlike many traditional universities, Tech-U focuses heavily on technical skills and entrepreneurship.

What is the Tech-U Post-UTME?

The Post-UTME is the “Admission Screening” exercise that helps the university determine which candidates are the best fit for its specialized technical and vocational programs.

Why is it important? Because Tech-U is a specialized technical university, the screening is used to ensure you have the foundational knowledge needed for engineering, technology, and applied sciences. It is also the gateway to the university’s generous scholarship programs, such as the Josephus Foundation Scholarship.

Eligibility Requirements

To apply for the 2026/2027 screening, you must meet these core requirements:

• JAMB Score: A minimum of 160 is generally required. However, for highly competitive engineering and technology courses, you should aim for 200+.

• Choice of Institution: You must choose Abiola Ajimobi Technical University (Tech-U), Ibadan as your First Choice.

• O’Level Results: You need at least five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and any other science subject, in not more than two sittings.

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

Screening Format: Online Upload & Physical Interaction

Based on previous years, Tech-U typically employs a Hybrid Screening System:

1. Online Document Upload: Verification of O’Level and JAMB results.

2. Physical/CBT Screening: Candidates may be invited for a Computer-Based Test or a physical interactive session on the campus at the KM 11, Ibadan-Lagos Expressway.

3. Scholarship Exams: Candidates applying for the LGA or Josephus Foundation scholarships will undergo a separate, more rigorous CBT examination.

Required Documents for Registration

Have the following ready for upload:

• JAMB Original Result Slip.

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

• Scanned Birth Certificate or Sworn Declaration of Age.

• A clear digital passport photograph with a plain background.

• Direct Entry (DE) applicants: Scanned copies of ND, HND, or NCE certificates.

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

1. Change of Institution: If Tech-U was not your first choice, go to a JAMB CBT center and change your first choice to Abiola Ajimobi Technical University.

2. Visit the Portal: Go to tech-u.edu.ng

3. Initialize Application: Enter your JAMB Registration Number and basic contact details.

4. Payment: Generate a payment invoice (usually ₦2,000 for the screening). Payment can be made online via Remita.

5. Upload Credentials: Fill out the biodata form and upload your O’Level results and other documents.

6. Print Confirmation: Ensure you print your Application Confirmation Slip and keep your login details safe.

Important Dates & Deadlines

• Form Release: Typically opens in July/August.

• Screening Period: Usually takes place between September and October.

• Note: Exact dates for 2026 have not been announced. I recommend checking the university website in late July.

Calculation of Aggregate Score

Tech-U uses a composite score to decide admission:

• JAMB Score: 50%

• O’Level Results: 30% (Points are given for A1, B2, B3, etc.)

• Screening/Interview: 20%

Total Aggregate = 100% Higher aggregates are given priority for “Specialized Professional” courses and scholarship awards.

Common Mistakes & Admission Tips

Mistakes to Avoid:

• Wrong Subjects: Ensure you have credits in Physics and Chemistry for all engineering courses; many students mistakenly omit one.

• Ignoring JAMB CAPS: You must upload your O’Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal. Tech-U cannot process your admission without this.

• Late Scholarship Application: The scholarship forms often close earlier than the general admission form.

Expert Tips for Success:

• Aim for Scholarship: Tech-U has one of the best scholarship systems in Nigeria. If you have a JAMB score of 220+, apply for the Josephus Foundation Scholarship.

• Technical Interest: During any interactive session, show your passion for “hands-on” learning. This university loves practical-minded students.
