POST UTME 2025 is one of the most important stages for students seeking admission into Nigerian universities. If you’re a candidate who sat for the 2025 JAMB UTME, this guide will show you how to prepare, register, and succeed in securing admission. It also addresses transfers, tuition fees, and admission requirements for federal, state, and private universities.
This article is written in a simple, clear style at an 8th-grade reading level. Let’s begin.
What Is POST UTME?
POST UTME stands for Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. It is a screening test or process conducted by Nigerian universities to further assess candidates after their JAMB examination.
While JAMB gives you a general score, POST UTME allows universities to test your knowledge again before offering you admission. Some schools use exams, while others use screening based on documents and results.
General Admission Requirements for POST UTME 2025
To be eligible for any POST UTME screening, you need to have the following:
- A valid JAMB UTME result with at least the cut off mark
- At least five credits in O’Level, including English and Mathematics
- Your JAMB registration number
- Passport photograph and personal information
Functional email and phone number for communication
Some schools may require:
- Birth certificate
- State of origin certificate
- WAEC/NECO/NABTEB result slips
- A payment of the screening or exam fee (usually ₦2,000)
Types of POST UTME Screening in 2025
Different schools use different formats. The most common ones include:
1. Computer-Based Test (CBT): Like JAMB. You’ll answer multiple-choice questions on subjects related to your course.
2. Online Screening: You’ll submit your documents online. No exam. Schools assess your grades and details.
3. Physical Screening: You’ll visit the school campus for document checks and maybe a short test.
POST UTME 2025 Registration: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Visit the School Portal—Each school has a portal (e.g., portal.unilag.edu.ng). Check on universities.ng for updates.
Step 2: Create an Account—Use your JAMB registration number, email, and phone number.
Step 3: Make Payment—Pay the ₦2,000 screening fee online.
Step 4: Fill in Details—Upload your passport, JAMB result, and O’Level result.
Step 5: Print Acknowledgement—Print your registration slip or screening date slip.
