UNIMAID Post UTME Form 2026/2027 Is Out
The University of Maiduguri has officially released its 2026/2027 Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form. The 2026/2027 Post-Admission Screening Exercise will commence from Monday, June 14, 2026, and end on Monday, August 14, 2026. That is a two-month window, and UNIMAID has previously stated that extensions are not guaranteed. Register early and do not wait for the deadline.
UNIMAID is one of Nigeria's oldest and most respected federal universities, located in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, and established in 1975. It is the premier institution of higher learning in the North-East geopolitical zone, offering programmes across Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Law, Engineering, Sciences, Agriculture, Social Sciences, Arts, Education, and Management Sciences.

Is the UNIMAID Post UTME Form Out for 2026?
Yes. The University of Maiduguri has officially released the Post-UTME and Direct Entry admission form for the 2026/2027 academic session. Only UTME and DE candidates who selected University of Maiduguri as first choice during the 2026/2027 JAMB are eligible for the screening exercise.
Both UTME and Direct Entry candidates must complete registration before August 14, 2026. UNIMAID has advised all prospective candidates to take advantage of this window of opportunity and do the needful, as there will be no extension beyond the stated date.
Does UNIMAID Do Post UTME?
Yes, but it is important to understand exactly what UNIMAID's Post UTME means. UNIMAID will not conduct a Post UTME screening examination, also known as the "Aptitude Test," for candidates seeking admission. There is no CBT exam to write, no physical screening on campus, and no exam date to plan for.
The screening is an online credentials verification exercise. Your JAMB score, O'Level results, and submitted biodata are evaluated through the portal. Admission decisions are based entirely on these records. This makes the accuracy of your submitted data critically important — any error or missing result can cost you your admission.
The most important action after registering is to ensure your O'Level results are correctly uploaded on JAMB CAPS. Candidates must possess a minimum of five O'Level credits in subjects relevant to their proposed courses, including Mathematics and English Language at not more than two sittings.
How Much Is the UNIMAID Post UTME Screening Fee?
Candidates are to pay a non-refundable fee of N2,000 only through the Remita platform. An additional registration fee of N1,000 is also required. This brings the total payment to N3,000 before any bank or Remita transaction charges.

Can I Fill My UNIMAID Post UTME Form Online?
Yes, the entire process is online. The UNIMAID Post UTME registration portal is now open for the 2026 admission screening exercise.

No physical appearance at the Maiduguri campus is required during the screening. After completing your online registration, your details are processed against your JAMB records. Admission status is communicated through the portal and JAMB CAPS.

UNIMAID Recruitment Portal — Clarification
