How Schools Will Conduct Post-UTME/DE Admission Excercise

Posted on July 5, 2025 By CampusTimesNG 12 Comments on How Schools Will Conduct Post-UTME/DE Admission Excercise

How Schools Will Conduct Post-UTME/DE Admission Excercise

This page attempt to clarify the general confusion about how schools will conduct 2025 Post-UTME/DE admission excercise.

These confusion have generated series of questions like:

  • What next after JAMB?
  • Are schools conducting Post-UTME exams this year?
  • How to know if i am eligible for admission screening excercise?
  • How will schools screen candidates for admission?
  • Etcs.

Here are few of the numerous questions candidates have been asking. It is therefore important, that we clarify these questions and ensure candidates are properly notified.

It is now an old news that the former minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, In June 2016, announced the cancellation of the Post-UTME examination which was introduced in 2004.

One of the arguement raised by the Minister was that, the Post-UTME exams have failed to produce better quality students by the universities, as students are still being expelled every year for low performance even though they gained admission through Post-UTME.

Therefore, under the new arrangement, tertiary institutions would no longer conduct any form of Post JAMB examination. Candidates would now be getting admission directly from JAMB.

Also, tertiary institutions that selects candidates for admission must get direct approval from JAMB.

When Will Post UTME Forms 2025/2026 be Released?

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board JAMB has set Friday 19th July, 2025 as the official date for the sale of Post UTME forms across all tertiary institutions in Nigeria. On this date school portals would be open for prospective candidates to purchase their anticipated Post UTME forms.

 

How To Know If You Are Eligible For Admission Screening

Here is how to know if you are eligible for 2025/2026 admission screening. it will be calculated like this:

STEP 1 : Number of sittings for O’Level

  • One sittings = 10 marks
  • Two sittings = 3 marks

Total marks obtainable = 10 marks

STEP 2 : O’Level Results Grading from 5 subjects

  • A (A1) = 6 marks
  • B (B2, B3) = 4 marks
  • C (C4, C5, C6) = 3 marks

Total marks obtainable = 30 marks

STEP 3 : JAMB UTME Score Grades

  • 180-200 = 20-23 marks
  • 200-250 = 24-33 marks
  • 251-300 = 34-43 marks
  • 300-400 = 44-60 marks

Total marks obtainable = 60 marks

Admission Screening Methods|How Schools Will Conduct 2025 Post-UTME/DE Admission Excercise

Schools uses various methods for admission screening. Whichever method they decide to adopt, candidates must be ready for it.

# 1. Online Screening: Some schools will ask you to upload your UTME and O’Level results as well as other relevant documents online. The school admission officer will now have to go through all the documents you have provided to determine if you are qualified for admission.

# 2. Physical Screening: This type of screening is done physically. The school will ask you to present your documents in the school premises or at any other designated venue or centre. All you need to do is to visit the school on the specific date and go through the screening excercise.

# 3. Aptitude Test: Some schools may decide to screen candidates through aptitude test/exams. Direct Entry (DE) candidates should be ready for this type of screening method.

Having known the admission screening methods used by schools, the next thing to consider is how schools will conduct 2025 Post-UTME/DE admission excercise

Admission screening excercise will be a summation of what we’ve discussed so far. Candidates will be awarded marks/points based on their performances in O’levels and JAMB as highlighted above.

Furthermore, schools at liberty will conduct the screening excercise via any method they deem fit.

Finally, admission process will also put into factors like catchment areas, educationally Less Developed State and admission by merit in determining the number of candidates admitted.

    Good afternoon admin, please my son sat for jamb and he’s qualify for admission by all standards stated above, but only for not admitted to the school he registered for the post UTME just because they said he is about 4 months to reach 16yrs old.please, let us know the way forward as age wasn’t part of the yardstick given to obtain jamb form during the sales of forms.
    Thanks

      Since your son is not yet 16 years before admission, you are advised to immediately change school to a private Institution.
