UNIJOS Post-UTME/DE Screening 2025/2026: Everything You Need to Know

The University of Jos (UNIJOS) has officially announced the commencement of its Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) online screening exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The screening exercise will run fully online from Monday, August 18, 2025, to Tuesday, September 30, 2025. This means no long queues, no physical submission of forms — just a simple digital process through the UNIJOS admission portal.

Final Thoughts

The UNIJOS portal closes on September 30, 2025. While that may seem far off, time moves quickly. Don’t wait until the last minute — network issues or missed deadlines could cost you admission.

This screening is not just a formality; it is the official gateway into UNIJOS. Only those who meet the requirements and complete the process will secure their admission. Act early, register correctly, and stay ahead.
