UNIJOS Post UTME Form 2026 is Out: Screening Started July 13, Cut Off Mark, Fees, Portal Share

UNIJOS Post UTME Form 2026 is Out -- Registration Started July 13, Apply Now

The University of Jos (UNIJOS) has officially opened its Post UTME and Direct Entry screening portal for the 2026/2027 academic session. Registration commenced on Sunday, July 13, 2026, and the screening is confirmed active right now. UNIJOS is one of Nigeria's oldest federal universities, established in 1971 and located in Jos, Plateau State. It sits on the Plateau and remains the dominant federal institution in the North-Central zone, offering programmes across Sciences, Medicine, Law, Engineering, Arts, Education, Management, and Social Sciences.

The form is out and the portal is live. The screening exercise for the 2026/2027 session is conducted entirely online -- the same fully digital format UNIJOS has maintained consistently since adopting it formally. Candidates do not travel to Jos for the screening. Everything from registration and payment to form submission is done remotely through the official UNIJOS screening portal.

Have UNIJOS Started Post UTME for 2026?

Yes. UNIJOS has officially released the Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form for the 2026/2027 academic session, with the portal going live on July 13, 2026. Whether you have been asking if the form is out, whether UNIJOS has started post UTME registration, or whether you can still apply, the answer to all three is yes. The portal is active and accepting registrations right now.

Is the UNIJOS Post UTME Form Out?

Yes, confirmed. The University of Jos Post UTME form for 2026/2027 is officially out. Registration opened July 13, 2026. The screening exercise is entirely online and every eligible candidate should register without delay.

What is the Date for the UNIJOS Post UTME 2026?

The UNIJOS Post UTME portal for the 2026/2027 session opened on July 13, 2026. The closing date for the current session had not been officially published as a fixed single date at the time of writing. Based on the 2025/2026 experience, where registration opened August 18, 2025 and ran through September 30 before an extension to October 9, UNIJOS typically allows a window of approximately six to eight weeks for registration. This places the likely 2026/2027 closing date in late August to early September 2026.

However, do not wait for the deadline announcement. UNIJOS has extended its portal in previous sessions when circumstances required it, but it has also closed without extension in other years. Apply now and secure your slot.

How Much is the UNIJOS Screening Form?

The UNIJOS Post UTME screening fee for the 2026/2027 session is N2,000, non-refundable. This is paid exclusively through the Remita payment platform, accessible via the official UNIJOS screening portal. You can pay online using an ATM card or generate a Remita invoice and pay at any commercial bank across Nigeria.

The N2,000 covers only the Post UTME screening registration. It does not cover acceptance fee, school fees, hostel charges, or any other university payment. Keep your payment receipt and print your registration slip immediately after successful payment.

What is the Cut Off Mark for UNIJOS?

The general institutional JAMB cut-off mark for the University of Jos for the 2026/2027 academic session is 180. Candidates who scored below 180 in the 2026 UTME are not eligible to apply for the UNIJOS Post UTME screening.

However, 180 is the general floor. UNIJOS publishes differential departmental cut-off marks that are specific to each faculty and programme. Based on confirmed 2025/2026 departmental cut-offs which carry over as the most reliable benchmark for 2026/2027:

Faculty of Medical Sciences: - Medicine and Surgery (MBBS): 250 and above is the effective competitive range - Pharmacy: 230 and above - Medical Laboratory Science: 210 and above - Nursing: 210 and above

Faculty of Law: - Law (LLB): 230 and above for a competitive position

Faculty of Engineering: - Electrical and Electronics Engineering: 220 and above - Civil Engineering: 210 and above - Mechanical Engineering: 210 and above

Faculty of Natural Sciences: - Computer Science: 200 and above - Biochemistry, Microbiology: 190 and above - Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics: 185 and above

Faculty of Management Sciences: - Accounting, Business Administration: 185 and above

Faculty of Arts: - English, History, Philosophy: 180 is the general minimum and is often sufficient

Faculty of Education: - B.Sc. (Ed.) Agricultural Science Education: 180 - Most Education programmes: 180 to 190

These figures are derived from the officially published 2025/2026 UNIJOS departmental cut-off list. The 2026/2027 official list will be published on the UNIJOS screening portal when registration opens -- confirm your specific programme's cut-off directly on the portal.

What is the UNIJOS Post UTME Aggregate Formula?

UNIJOS uses the standard Nigerian university weighted aggregate formula:

Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score divided by 8) + (Post UTME Score divided by 2)

This produces a combined score out of 100, with JAMB contributing up to 50 points and the online screening contributing up to 50 points.

Worked example: - JAMB score: 220. Divide by 8 = 27.5 points - Post UTME score: 74 out of 100. Divide by 2 = 37 points - Total aggregate = 64.5 out of 100

For Medicine and Pharmacy, candidates typically need aggregates of 77 and above to be competitive. For Law, 72 and above gives a realistic position. For Computer Science and Engineering, 65 and above is the competitive zone. For Arts and Education, an aggregate of 55 to 60 is often sufficient.

The screening carries exactly as much weight as JAMB in the final calculation. Thorough preparation for the online Post UTME significantly improves your final ranking. Get the Smartjamb Team to connect you with UNIJOS past questions and begin preparing now.

Does UNIJOS Do Post UTME or Screening?

UNIJOS conducts its Post UTME as a completely online screening exercise. There is no physical CBT examination hall. There is no travel to Jos required for the screening. After registering and paying the N2,000 fee through the portal, the online screening component is conducted through the UNIJOS screening portal itself. Candidates complete the exercise remotely, from any device with a stable internet connection.

What this means practically is that there is no specific "exam date" to plan travel around. The online screening is integrated into the registration process and must be completed within the registration window, which opened July 13, 2026.

Once the registration portal closes, no further applications are accepted. Candidates who have registered must then wait for the university to process applications, publish screening results, and upload admission lists to JAMB CAPS.

UNIJOS Portal Login -- How to Access the Portal

UNIJOS operates two distinct portals that candidates frequently confuse:

Screening Portal (for Post UTME applicants): This is the portal where new 2026/2027 Post UTME and Direct Entry candidates register and complete the screening exercise. Access it through the official UNIJOS website. The steps are: - Click FORMS APPLICATION on the portal homepage - Select 2026 UTME/DE Screening - Read the pop-up message carefully and close it - Enter your JAMB Registration Number and click Get Started - Fill the sign-up form with your email address, phone number, and create a password - Proceed to pay the N2,000 fee via Remita - Complete the online screening form and submit - Print your acknowledgement slip

UNIJOS Student Dashboard (MIS Portal): This is for currently enrolled students managing academic activities. The student portal -- commonly referred to as the UNIJOS MIS portal -- handles course registration, result checking, fee payment, and academic records for admitted students. The login for the student dashboard uses your matriculation number and assigned password. The portal is described widely as the UNIJOS dashboard and is accessed through the main university web portal.

O'Level Upload Requirement -- The Step Many Candidates Miss

UNIJOS has been explicit: only candidates who have uploaded their O'Level results on JAMB CAPS will be eligible to register for the screening exercise. This is not optional and is not something you can resolve after the deadline. Before visiting the UNIJOS screening portal:

• Log in to JAMB e-Facility and check your profile
• Confirm that your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results are fully uploaded under your CAPS record
• If not uploaded, visit a JAMB office or accredited CBT centre to complete the upload
• Only after confirming successful upload on JAMB CAPS should you proceed to the UNIJOS screening portal

Candidates who begin registration on the UNIJOS portal without having uploaded O'Level results will not be able to complete the process.

Who is Eligible to Apply for UNIJOS Post UTME 2026?

To qualify for the UNIJOS 2026/2027 screening:

• Must have chosen University of Jos as their first-choice institution on JAMB. Only first-choice candidates are visible and eligible on the UNIJOS portal
• Must have scored at least 180 in the 2026 UTME (or higher for courses with differential cut-offs)
• Must be at least 16 years old at the time of application
• Must have at least five O'Level credit passes in relevant subjects including English Language, in not more than two sittings, from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB
• Must have uploaded O'Level results on JAMB CAPS before accessing the UNIJOS portal
• Direct Entry candidates must hold A'Level (minimum two passes), OND (Merit and above), NCE (Merit), or First Class/Second Class Upper degree in a relevant discipline

Candidates who chose another institution as first choice cannot access the UNIJOS portal. They must effect a change of institution to UNIJOS through JAMB CAPS before attempting registration.

What Happens After Submitting the UNIJOS Post UTME Form?

After completing the online screening:

• UNIJOS processes all applications and computes aggregate scores per department
• Screening results and admission lists are published on the UNIJOS portal and on JAMB CAPS in batches
• Candidates who receive admission offers must accept on JAMB CAPS within four weeks of the offer being uploaded. Offers not accepted within four weeks will not reflect on the UNIJOS portal and the admission will effectively lapse
• After accepting on JAMB CAPS, candidates complete the formal acceptance process on the UNIJOS student portal
• Clearance, document verification, and course registration follow on campus during the designated registration period

The four-week JAMB CAPS acceptance window is a hard rule at UNIJOS. Missing it means losing the admission even if you were genuinely admitted.

UNIJOS School Fees -- What Fresh Students Should Budget

UNIJOS is a federal university with fees subsidised by the Federal Government. Total costs for fresh students include:

• Acceptance fee: approximately N50,000 to N75,000 depending on the programme (confirm on the official portal after admission)
• Tuition and faculty levies per session: approximately N70,000 to N200,000 depending on faculty and level
• Health Sciences and Medical programmes attract the highest fees
• Arts and Education programmes are at the lower end

Additional charges include hostel accommodation, library and ICT levies, and Student Union dues. UNIJOS has hostels on campus but spaces are limited and allocation is competitive, particularly for first-year students.

Note: The official 2026/2027 UNIJOS school fees schedule had not been released at the time of writing. Figures above reflect the most recently published rates. Confirm current fees on the official portal after receiving your admission offer.
