IBBU Post UTME Form 2026/2027 Is Out - Portal, Screening Dates, Cut Off Mark and Fees

Is IBBU Post UTME Form Out?

Yes. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai has officially opened its Post-UTME/DE Screening and Verification Exercise for the 2026/2027 academic session. The exercise commences on Monday, 17th August 2026 and closes on Sunday, 13th September 2026. If you selected IBBU as your first choice institution in the 2026 UTME or Direct Entry registration, this screening applies directly to you.

Candidates who have been asking "when is IBBU post UTME starting" now have a firm answer, and with the closing date already fixed, waiting until the last week to register is not a risk worth taking given how portals tend to slow down closer to deadline.

IBBU Post UTME Form 2026

The IBBU screening process is entirely online, so there is no physical or downloadable PDF form to fill out offline. Everything happens directly on the university portal, from entering your JAMB details to generating your invoice and completing payment. Any site offering an "IBBU post UTME form pdf" outside the official portal should be treated with caution, since the only valid registration channel is the university's own website.

If you need direct to complete your registration correctly the first time, reach out to the Smartjamb Team here before you start.

IBBU Portal - How to Access It

The official IBBU portal for Post UTME screening is accessed through www.ibbu.edu.ng. This is the same central portal candidates use for admission checking, screening registration, and later for school fees payment once admitted. There is no separate "post UTME only" website, so any link that does not point back to the official IBBU domain should not be trusted with your JAMB details or payment information.

Once you are on the portal, the process for post UTME screening at IBBU follows two main stages. The first is an eligibility check where you enter your JAMB Registration Number, phone number, and email to generate an invoice. The second is payment, done either through Branch Collect or WebPAY as instructed on the portal itself.

IBBU Portal Post UTME Registration Requirements

Not every candidate who applied to IBBU in JAMB is automatically eligible to register. UTME candidates must have scored 150 and above and must have uploaded their O'level results to the JAMB Central Admission Processing System, CAPS. Direct Entry candidates must upload their O'level result together with a scanned copy of their IJMB, NCE, or Diploma result. It is worth noting clearly that A'Level NABTEB results are not accepted for this exercise, which has caught a number of DE candidates off guard in previous sessions.

Candidates who did not originally select IBBU as first choice but wish to study there generally need to complete a change of institution and course through JAMB first before the portal will recognise them as eligible.

When Is IBBU Post UTME Starting?

The 2026/2027 screening exercise starts Monday, 17th August 2026. This date has been officially confirmed by the university, so candidates no longer need to guess or rely on estimates from previous sessions. Given that IBBU's registration windows in past sessions have occasionally been extended or reopened for candidates who missed the original deadline, it is still safer to complete your registration early rather than assume a reopening will happen.

IBBU Online Screening Closing Date

Registration closes on Sunday, 13th September 2026. Candidates should treat this as a firm deadline. In previous sessions, IBBU has reopened its portal briefly for candidates who could not complete registration in time, but this has not always happened, and relying on it is a gamble no serious candidate should take.

IBBU Admission Portal and Post UTME Status Check

After completing your screening, you can check your IBBU post UTME status through the same admission portal used for registration. Candidates typically check this by logging in with their JAMB registration number once the university begins releasing screening results. If your status is not updating or shows an error, this is usually a sign that a required document was not uploaded correctly during registration rather than a rejection, and it is worth confirming this directly rather than assuming the worst.

How Much Is the IBBU Post UTME Form?

The IBBU Post UTME/DE screening fee is N2,000, payable directly through the portal via Branch Collect or WebPAY once your eligibility invoice is generated. This is the only fee required to complete the screening stage itself, separate from any school fees paid later after admission is confirmed.

How Much Are the School Fees for Freshers at IBBU?

School fees at IBBU vary depending on indigene status, faculty, and course, and different sessions have shown a fairly wide range in reported figures. Generally, Niger State indigenes pay significantly less than non-indigenes, with fresher fees for indigenes commonly falling somewhere between N52,000 and N86,000 depending on the course, while non-indigene freshers typically pay considerably more, with figures reported anywhere from N170,000 to N250,000 depending on faculty. Because these figures have shown noticeable variation across different reporting sources and sessions, candidates should confirm the exact figure for their specific course and indigene status directly on the IBBU portal once admission is confirmed, rather than relying on any fixed number in advance.

Beyond tuition, newly admitted students are also required to pay a separate acceptance fee before their admission letter and other documents are released, which is distinct from the tuition fee itself.

What Next After IBBU Post UTME Registration?

Completing your screening on the portal is not the final step. Candidates still need to monitor their admission status, respond promptly if any document correction is requested, and stay alert for the release of the admission list once IBBU concludes processing for the session. Given how tight the registration window is this year, closing on 13th September 2026, candidates who register early give themselves more room to fix any document issues before the deadline passes.
