Is the EKSU Post UTME Form Out for 2026?

Yes. The Ekiti State University Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially out. Registration opened on July 3, 2026. Whether you have been asking if the EKSU form is out, if you can still buy the form, or whether Post UTME registration is ongoing at EKSU, the answer to all three is yes. The portal is live and accepting applications right now.

Can I Still Buy the EKSU Form?

Yes. The EKSU Post UTME form is currently on sale. The portal opened July 3, 2026 and based on historical EKSU admissions patterns, registration runs for approximately six to eight weeks, which would place the likely closing date in mid to late August 2026.

Contact the Smartjamb Team for real-time updates on the confirmed closing date.

How Much is the EKSU Post UTME Form Fee?

The EKSU Post UTME screening fee for the 2026/2027 session is N2,000-8,000, non-refundable.

What is the Cut Off Mark for EKSU?

This is where EKSU differs importantly from many candidates' expectations. The general institutional minimum JAMB cut-off for EKSU is 140 for the 2026/2027 session. EKSU also considers change of institution candidates who scored 140 and above and are willing to switch to EKSU as their first choice on JAMB CAPS.

However, 140 is the floor for eligibility — not the realistic target for admission. The effective departmental cut-offs based on confirmed 2026/2027 figures are:

• Medicine and Surgery (MBBS): 260 to 276
• Law: 250
• Pharmacy: 240
• Nursing Science: 230
• Medical Laboratory Science: 220
• Mass Communication: 200
• Medical Biochemistry: 180
• Computer Science: 180
• Engineering (all disciplines): 180
• Agricultural Science: 200
• Social Sciences and Management: 160 to 180
• Arts and Humanities: 150 to 160
• Education courses (most programmes): 150

Candidates targeting Medicine at EKSU must score well above 260 to be genuinely competitive. The effective admission score for Medicine in recent sessions has been closer to 276, which is one of the highest departmental cut-offs of any state university in Nigeria.

Does EKSU Write Post UTME or Screening?

EKSU has officially confirmed that the 2026/2027 Post UTME exercise will involve no written examination. The official announcement states clearly: "please note that there will be no examination." The screening is a credentials-based assessment that evaluates candidates based on their JAMB score, O'Level grades uploaded on JAMB CAPS, and physical document verification. Candidates must present original copies of their documents at the screening venue.

This is significant for candidates who were preparing for a written CBT test — no such test will be administered. Your JAMB performance and O'Level grades are the primary factors determining your admission ranking.

EKSU Post UTME Aggregate Score Formula

EKSU uses a three-component aggregate formula that is different from the simple two-component formula used at most Nigerian universities:

EKSU Aggregate = (JAMB Score contributing 50%) + (O'Level grades contributing 20%) + (Post UTME or screening score contributing 30%)

Since EKSU has confirmed no written Post UTME examination, the 30% screening component is assessed through document verification and credential review.

A practical illustration: - JAMB score: 220. Contribution = 220 divided by 400 multiplied by 60 = 33 points - O'Level contribution = from O'Level grade points = approximately 20 points for strong grades - Post UTME or screening component: approximately 27 points for a strong submission - Estimated aggregate = approximately 60 out of 100

The formula means O'Level grades contribute meaningfully to your final ranking at EKSU. A candidate with A1 grades across all five relevant O'Level subjects has a concrete advantage over one with the same JAMB score but C6 passes.

Who is Eligible to Apply for EKSU Post UTME 2026?

• Must have scored at least 140 in the 2026 UTME

• Direct Entry candidates must hold at least Second Class Lower Division for MBBS and Law programmes, Upper Credit for Engineering, Lower Credit for other programmes from polytechnics, and NCE with credit or merit for Education programmes
