How to Pass Post-UTME Screening and Secure Your Admission You wrote JAMB, you met the cut-off — now the real gate is Post-UTME. This is where admission is won or lost. Let me show you how to prepare and pass.
Welcome back, guys. Today we cover how to pass Post-UTME screening — how it works, who’s eligible, and the smart prep that actually scores high.
Stick with me to the end. The prep tips are what separate those who get in from those who miss it.
What Post-UTME Is
Post-UTME is the screening each university runs after JAMB to select its final candidates. It can be a CBT exam, a document/credentials screening, or both — it depends on the school.
Most schools then combine your UTME score, your Post-UTME/screening score, and your O’Level grades to rank you.
Who Is Eligible
Eligibility differs by school, but commonly you need:
- A minimum of five credits in relevant subjects
- Credits obtained in not more than two sittings (WAEC/NECO)
- To meet the JAMB cut-off set by the school
- To have written JAMB and chosen the school (often as first choice)
Always check your specific school’s requirements before buying the form.
Step-by-Step: How to Prepare
- Confirm the dates and requirements on your school’s official portal.
- Print your JAMB result slip — you’ll need it for screening.
- Buy the Post-UTME form only through the official school portal.
- Download your school’s Post-UTME past questions and study them.
- Revise your JAMB subjects — Post-UTME often overlaps with them.
- Practise CBT-style questions to build speed and accuracy.
- Arrange your documents (O’Level results, JAMB slip, ID) neatly.
Insider Tips
- Practise that school’s own past questions. Each school has a pattern — learn it.
- Master time management. Post-UTME is fast; practice under the clock.
- Know current facts about the school if it’s a paper-based or oral screening.
- Nobody tells you this: a strong O’Level boosts your aggregate, so don’t underrate your WAEC/NECO grades.
- Reach the venue (or log in) early on screening day. Rushing in late rattles you before the test even starts.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Buying the form from a fake portal.
- Not practising the school’s specific past questions.
- Forgetting to print your JAMB result slip.
- Poor time management during the CBT.
