Things You Should Know

FUTA screens its first-choice candidates before admission, and the whole thing runs online. So you can do it yourself, no “agent” wahala.

Details can change, so use this guide and confirm the final word on the official FUTA portal.

Important Dates

For the 2026/2027 session, FUTA has opened its Post-UTME registration:

Registration: Monday, 1 June 2026 to Friday, 3 July 2026
Screening fee: ₦2,000 (paid via Remita after generating your code)

FUTA has said clearly that anyone who misses this window won’t qualify for the screening. So don’t form “tomorrow.”

Eligibility

You can apply if:

You chose FUTA as your first choice in the 2026 UTME.
You scored at least 180 in the 2026 UTME (higher for competitive courses see below).
You have five (5) O’level credits in relevant subjects, including English and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
Direct Entry candidates are also eligible.

What Most People Don’t Know: Course Cut-Offs Differ

Here’s the part many people miss. 180 is just the general minimum. Competitive courses ask for far more:

Medicine and Surgery: around 250 and above
Nursing Science: around 220 and above
Engineering programmes: usually above 200
Other courses: from 180

So don’t relax with 185 and assume Medicine is settled. Check your specific course requirement on the portal.

Step-by-Step Guide: How To Apply

Go to the official FUTA site at futa.edu.ng and open the Post-UTME screening section.
Log in with your JAMB Registration Number and confirm your details.
Generate your Remita payment code and pay the ₦2,000 fee.
Complete the form, entering your O’level results correctly.
Submit and print your acknowledgment.
Return later to print your screening details.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

Applying with awaiting results when FUTA isn’t accepting them (confirm on the portal).
Entering wrong O’level grades or details that don’t match JAMB.
Waiting till 3 July, then fighting network.
Paying any “runz man” who promises admission. Pure scam.

Insider Tips

Check your exact course cut-off, not just the 180 minimum.
Pay only through Remita on the official portal.
Apply early. The last days are always congested.
Keep your acknowledgment slip safe.
Use only futa.edu.ng. Bookmark it now to dodge fake links.
