The management of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, has officially released the Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) admission screening forms for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Online registration commences on Friday, July 3, 2026.
⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: Unlike previous years, EKSU will not conduct a written Post-UTME examination for this cycle. Admission placement will be based entirely on the online screening of candidates’ UTME scores, O’Level results, and submitted credentials.
Eligibility Criteria
The screening portal is open to the following categories of candidates:
-
First-Choice Candidates: Those who selected EKSU as their institution of first choice in the 2026 UTME.
-
Change of Institution Candidates: Candidates who scored 150 and above in the 2026 UTME but did not initially choose EKSU. You are eligible provided you effect a Change of Institution to EKSU on the JAMB portal.
-
Direct Entry (DE) Candidates: All qualified DE applicants seeking admission into undergraduate slots.
Note: Candidates with awaiting O’Level results are not eligible to apply until their results are officially released and uploaded.
