PLASU Post UTME/DE Form 2026/2027: Cut Off Mark, Registration Fee and Admission List Guide Share

PLASU Post UTME/DE Form 2026/2027 Is Out

Plateau State University, popularly called PLASU and located in Bokkos, has commenced its Online Post UTME and Direct Entry screening for the 2026/2027 academic session, with the exercise starting on Wednesday, 15th July 2026. If you chose PLASU as your first choice on JAMB, this is the stage that stands between you and admission, so it deserves your full attention.

What Is the Cut Off Mark for PLASU 2026/2027?

The general cut off mark for Plateau State University this session is 160. This applies to most standard programmes across the arts, social sciences, and general sciences. However, some faculties carry a higher threshold because of competition and limited slots. Law and Medicine and Surgery both require a minimum of 200, while other programmes under the Faculties of Health Sciences, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences also sit above the general baseline. Departmental cut off marks for the 2026/2027 session have been reported to range from 160 up to 230 depending on the specific course, so it genuinely pays to check your exact department rather than assume the general 160 applies across board.

Who Is Eligible for PLASU Screening?

To register for the PLASU Post UTME/DE screening, you must meet the following:

• You chose Plateau State University, Bokkos as your first choice institution in the 2026 UTME
• You scored 160 or above, or the specific departmental cut off for your chosen course, whichever is higher
• You have at least five O'Level credits relevant to your course, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings
• Direct Entry candidates hold an acceptable A-Level, ND, HND, NCE or equivalent qualification relevant to their intended 200 level programme

How Much Is the PLASU Registration Fee?

The PLASU Post UTME/DE application fee is N2,000, described by the university as non-refundable. This is paid through the admission portal, and candidates should be prepared for standard bank or payment gateway charges on top of the stated figure. You can confirm the current payment steps and register here if you run into any issue with the portal.

Is PLASU Still Doing Post UTME?

Yes. PLASU continues to run a full Post UTME and DE screening exercise for every session, unlike some universities that have shifted purely to a documentation-based process. The screening for 2026/2027 commenced in mid-July, and candidates should expect to complete an online registration, payment, and in some cases a screening test or document verification stage before being considered for admission.

Aggregate Score Formula for PLASU Admission

Like most Nigerian universities, PLASU combines your JAMB score and Post UTME performance into an aggregate score used for final admission decisions. A common formula used across similar institutions is:

Aggregate = (JAMB score ÷ 8) + (Post UTME score ÷ 2)

Worked example: if you scored 200 in JAMB and 70 in your Post UTME screening,

• JAMB portion: 200 ÷ 8 = 25
• Post UTME portion: 70 ÷ 2 = 35
• Total aggregate: 25 + 35 = 60

Keep in mind that PLASU may adjust the exact weighting for competitive faculties like Medicine, Law, or Nursing, so use this as a general guide rather than a fixed departmental formula.

Courses Offered at Plateau State University

PLASU runs undergraduate programmes across several faculties including Arts, Social Sciences, Management Sciences, Education, Science, Agriculture, Environmental Sciences, and Health Sciences, with programmes such as Medicine and Surgery, Law, Nursing, Computer Science, Accounting, Mass Communication, Economics, Biological Sciences, and various education and agriculture-related courses. Competitive programmes like Medicine, Law, and Nursing consistently carry higher cut off marks because demand outstrips available slots, while programmes in the arts and less competitive sciences tend to admit closer to the general baseline.

Documents You Need Before Registering

Before starting your PLASU screening registration, have these ready:

• Your JAMB registration number and email used during UTME registration
• A functional phone number for OTP and portal notifications
• Your O'Level results, already uploaded to your JAMB profile
• A clear passport photograph in the required format
• Proof of the N2,000 payment once completed

How the PLASU Admission List Works

After the screening period closes, PLASU processes results and releases its admission list in stages via the JAMB CAPS portal, alongside the university's own admission notice. Being screened does not automatically mean you are admitted; your name must reflect on JAMB CAPS for you to proceed with acceptance. Reach out here to confirm your admission status once results are released rather than relying solely on unofficial WhatsApp broadcasts.

Common Registration Mistakes to Avoid

Many candidates lose time correcting avoidable errors, such as entering their surname differently from how it appears on their JAMB profile, using an email address they no longer check, or attempting multiple payments when a transaction appears to hang instead of waiting for confirmation. Take your time filling each field and double check before you submit.

What If My Score Is Below the Departmental Cut Off?

If your score sits below your specific department's cut off but above the general 160 baseline, you still have options. Some candidates successfully change to a less competitive course within the same university during the screening process, provided they meet that course's specific requirement. You can get guidance on switching courses or confirming your options here instead of assuming you have no path forward.

Should You Register If You Are Close to the Cut Off?

If your JAMB score is close to but not clearly above your department's cut off, it is usually still worth attempting registration, since departmental cut offs can occasionally be adjusted or candidates admitted through supplementary rounds if initial slots remain unfilled. Register or ask about your specific case here rather than ruling yourself out prematurely.

Final Thoughts

PLASU's Post UTME and DE process for 2026/2027 follows a fairly clear structure: a 160 general cut off with higher departmental thresholds for competitive courses, a flat N2,000 screening fee, and admission finalized through JAMB CAPS. The one thing that changes yearly is the exact registration window and departmental adjustments, so always confirm current details before you commit to payment.
