Is UNIMAID Doing Post UTME for 2026/2027?

Yes, but with a very important distinction that every candidate must understand before registering.

UNIMAID does conduct a Post UTME screening exercise, but it is not a written aptitude test or CBT exam. The University of Maiduguri has adopted an online credentials verification model for its screening. This means:

• You will NOT be invited to campus for a physical exam
• There is NO aptitude test to write
• Your admission will be determined by your JAMB UTME score, your O'Level results, and the information submitted during your online registration
• You will be notified of your admission status through JAMB CAPS

This is a straightforward process, but it has one major implication: your JAMB score and O'Level results carry the full weight of your admission. There is no Post UTME exam score to make up for a weak JAMB performance. Every candidate must ensure their O'Level results are correctly uploaded on JAMB CAPS before or during the registration period.

How Much Is UNIMAID Post UTME Form?

The UNIMAID Post UTME screening form for the 2026/2027 session costs N2,000, excluding bank charges. An additional registration fee of N4,000 is also required, plus any applicable bank transaction charges.
