List of Universities in Nigeria that Do not Write Post UTME

by

Post UTME stands for Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. It is an examination or screening after the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.

Admission into the tertiary institution of your choice depends on your performance in the screening exam or aptitude test.

In recent years, the educational system in Nigeria has experienced a shift in its operations especially when it has to do with the processes of gaining admission into higher institutions.

This shift has made it easier for students who wish to be admitted into school but are afraid of writing any form of exam aside from Jamb to have equal access to be admitted into other reputable universities.

Hence, there is a need to start searching for other reputable universities that accept candidates without  Post UTME.

Other less expensive methods employed by some schools in other to screen students that do not involve writing exams include;

Oral screening

Physical screening and

Online Screening.

Also, these Universities give you access to upload your credentials such as your O’level result (Waec, Neco, or Nabteb Result), birth certificate, Jamb result, and others to the School online portal for verification.

This article will provide you with a comprehensive list of Universities that do not set Post Utm Exam for their Student.

List of Universities in Nigeria That Do Not Write Post UTME

1. Lagos State University (LASU)

Rather than administering post-UTME tests, the university employs a grading system to evaluate prospective students.

In recent years, admission has been determined by factors such as O’level results, UTME scores, the level of competition for the desired program, and, more recently, whether the applicant is a native of Lagos State.

Located in Ojo, Lagos State University (LASU) has sub-campuses in Ikeja and Epe, all in Nigeria.  LASU currently has a student population of over 35,000 and provides diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate programs, including an MBA program.

2. Ondo State University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa

In the most recent admissions cycle, Ondo State University of Science and Technology did not perform post-UTMe for her applicants. All you have to do, particularly for the additional entrance forms, is fill out the screening form online and wait to be offered admission.

The university, of course, requires the appropriate O’level subjects/grades in WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or GCE along with a score of 180 or more in the UTME.

The better, though, is to have a good JAMB score. Applicants are accepted based on how competitive their respective departments may be.

More competitive courses, including microbiology and biochemistry, are more likely to accept you if you have a higher grade. However, you might not need a grade higher than 180 for Agric and Botany courses.

3. University of Jos (UNIJOS)

Its post-UTME screening is often announced online by this federal institution immediately on the school webpage. Naturally, they do not take entrance examinations.

The sole requirements for candidates are to pay online and then complete the online screening form. Also, the JAMB cut-off scores required to participate in the online screening will be made public.

You have the best chance of being admitted if you meet the cut mark and the O’level requirements for your degree.

The university will then publish a list of the candidates who were accepted. Prior to the end of the admissions year, candidates may receive up to 4 lists.

4. Kwara State University (KWASU)

The university located in Kwara State’s Ilorin is known for admitting candidates based on their performance in the Jamb and O’level results.

If you have selected the university or are contemplating a switch, you should be ready for the online registration process and verification of your credentials, including your SSCE result, UTME result, Local Government Identification, and Birth Certificate.

If your documents are deemed satisfactory, you will be eligible to join classes for the current session.

5. University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID)

During the post-UTME registration process, candidates are simply required to complete one online form by entering their O-level results and UTME score. The university then makes admissions lists available via JAMB CAPS.

We still don’t know how the university evaluates applicants for admission. The Federal Admission Spaces Sharing Formula and the Ratio of Science to Art in the Lists still apply, nevertheless.

6. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU)

For its UTME/DE candidates, the northern university is well recognized for screening rather than administering a uniform computer test.

Before being admitted, you do not need to take entrance tests. You are graded based on your O’level performance, UTME score, and competition for the proposed course, the same as your counterparts above.

7. Federal University of Oye Ekiti (FUOYE)

The academic institution known as FUOYE, located in Oye Ekiti, is a federal university that may be the only one in the Southwest region to solely utilize a screening method for admitting prospective students.

Prior to enrollment, the university will publicize the minimum score required for each course. Once that information is available, you will be expected to participate in an online screening process that involves submitting your SSCE grades, UTME score, and personal information.

8. Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko Ondo State

Post-UTME tests were avoided by Adekunle Ajasin University during the most recent admissions cycle. They did not administer the post-UTME entrance test to their registrants, to put it another way.

It will be simpler to state that the university will operate in this manner going forward. So, students should be aware that the university is one of those that won’t hold a post-UTME for its applicant.

9. Adeyemi College of Education (ACEONDO)

The university provides both degree and NCE programs, and there’s no need for NCE and degree applicants to take the post-UTME. Instead, they should complete the online post-UTME form and submit their SSCE results and UTME score.

The total Post UTME score is determined through a point grading system that considers the UTME score and grades from 5 pertinent O’level subjects for the intended course. Upon submission, applicants can access and print their Post UTME score.

10. Osun State University, Osogbo (UNIOSUN) 

This university was one of the first to stop accepting post-UTME candidates. They don’t hold post-UTME exams for their applicant because admissions are determined on O-level performance, UTME score, and the number of openings in the departments.

Candidates must wait for the administration to reveal their screening results after completing the online registration process. Your admission will be decided on the basis of this and departmental quotas.

Other well-recognized universities that offer candidates equal access to admission without a Post UTME include the following;

11. University Of Uyo (UNIUYO)

12. Kaduna State University (KASU)

13. Benue State University (BSU)

14. Gombe State University (GSU)
