Is ABSU Form Out for 2026?

Yes, confirmed. The 2026/2027 ABSU Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form is officially on sale. The management of Abia State University has announced the commencement of the online screening exercise for all candidates who chose the university in the 2026 JAMB UTME and meet the cut off mark requirement.

Unlike what many candidates expect, ABSU does NOT conduct a physical aptitude test or CBT exam for the screening exercise. The university's senate approved an online credentials verification model, meaning your JAMB score and O'Level results uploaded on the portal and on JAMB CAPS are what determine your eligibility and ranking for admission.

This is important: there is no exam to prepare for, no date to show up on campus for, and no screening slip to print for a test. What matters is that your data is complete, accurate, and submitted before the deadline.

Does ABSU Write Post UTME or Screening?

ABSU does a screening — not a written Post UTME exam. The university scrapped the physical Post UTME exercise and replaced it with an online screening that verifies your JAMB score and O'Level results. ABSU's senate approved the use of UTME score and O'Level results for online screening of candidates in the admission exercise.

What this means for you: - No CBT exam to write on campus - No screening slip for a physical test - Your admission ranking is based entirely on your JAMB UTME score and the O'Level results you uploaded

The single most important action you need to take after registering for the form is to ensure your O'Level results are correctly uploaded on JAMB CAPS. Candidates whose results are absent from JAMB CAPS will not be considered for admission regardless of their JAMB score.
