Candidates hoping to study Medicine at the institution will have to wait for a future session or consider alternative universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education analysts note that such suspensions are usually linked to regulatory, accreditation, or internal academic restructuring issues, although FUTA has not released further details on the reason behind the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is Affected?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement directly affects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>UTME candidates who selected <strong>MBBS at FUTA<\/strong> during the ongoing registration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applicants planning to gain admission into FUTA\u2019s MBBS programme through <strong>Direct Entry<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The UTME is conducted by the <strong>Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)<\/strong>, which allows candidates to change their institution or course choices within a specified window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Candidates Should Do Next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates who have already chosen <strong>MBBS at FUTA<\/strong> are advised to <strong>act immediately<\/strong>. Education experts recommend the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to the <strong>JAMB portal<\/strong> as soon as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change institution and\/or course<\/strong>, selecting another university approved to run MBBS for the 2026\/2027 academic session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm that the new institution has <strong>full accreditation for Medicine and Surgery<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Failing to change course or institution could result in losing admission chances for the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 2026\/2027 academic year, <strong>FUTA is not an option for MBBS applicants<\/strong>. Prospective medical students must quickly explore other universities to stay on track with their admission plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/examkits.com\/blog\/futa-announces-combined-matriculation-ceremony-for-fresh-undergraduates-and-postgraduates\/\">FUTA Announces Combined Matriculation Ceremony for Fresh Undergraduates and Postgraduates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), has announced that it will not admit students&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,600],"tags":[4293,17022,22262,22261,22263,22264,127],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FUTA Suspends MBBS Admission for 2026\/2027 Session, Direct Entry Also Affected - Examkits<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"FUTA suspends MBBS admission for 2026\/2027.
