The Post UTME screening 2026/2027 season is here, and if you’ve passed your JAMB exam, this is the next critical step towards securing your university admission. Multiple institutions across Nigeria have released their screening schedules, venue information, and requirements. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what you need to know about Post UTME screening dates, candidate requirements, and how your aggregate score is calculated—so you can prepare with confidence.
ESUI Post UTME Screening Dates – Medicine, Nursing & Law
Ekiti State University (ESUI) has scheduled its Post UTME screening for Medicine, Nursing Science, and Law programmes online via WEBTEST in September 2026. The university has provided mock test dates to help candidates familiarise themselves with the exam format. Mock tests are scheduled for 8 and 9 September 2026, allowing you to practice before the actual screening. This online approach means you can sit the test from any location with a stable internet connection. Furthermore, online testing reduces logistics stress and provides immediate feedback on your performance.
DOU Post UTME CBT Screening – Dates & Venue
Delta State University of Science and Technology (DOU) has scheduled its Post UTME screening via Computer-Based Test (CBT) for 2 and 3 September 2026. All candidates must report to the University Library venue at 7:30 AM on their assigned faculty date. According to the official requirements, you’ll need to bring a valid ID, your admission letter, and your JAMB registration number. Therefore, arrive early to avoid missing your slot.
How Your Aggregate Score is Calculated
Understanding how Nigerian universities calculate your final admission score is essential. UNIZIK and most universities use this formula: Aggregate Score = JAMB Score + Post-UTME Score + O’Level Points (weighted). Each institution weights these components differently, so check your school’s specific formula on their admission portal. For example, some universities may weight JAMB 40%, Post-UTME 40%, and O’Level 20%, while others vary. In addition, maintaining a strong O’Level performance—especially in core subjects—can significantly boost your aggregate score.
Key Candidate Requirements for Post UTME Screening
- Valid JAMB admission letter
- JAMB registration number and PIN
- Valid national ID (NIN), passport, or voter’s card
- Completed online registration on your institution’s portal
- Proof of WAEC/NECO O’Level results
- Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time
Preparing for Your Post UTME Screening
Start by downloading the syllabus from your institution’s official website or JAMB portal. Take practice tests regularly—especially the mock exams offered by schools like ESUI. Review your O’Level notes in core subjects, as Post UTME questions often overlap with these topics. Additionally, check DOU’s detailed screening guidelines to understand the exact format and question types you’ll face.
