Previous Closing Date: Sunday, August 30, 2026

Rationale for the Extension
The decision to extend the screening period is aimed at providing fair access and accommodating candidates affected by administrative and result verification timelines. Specifically, this extension benefits:

-
IJMB & Remedial Students: Candidates whose IJMB examination results were recently published and require registration processing.

Important Guidelines for Prospective Applicants
-
Complete Registration Early: All eligible candidates are strongly advised to finalize their profile generation, payment generation via Remita, and document uploads well before the September 20, 2026 deadline to avoid server congestion.
-
O’Level Result Upload: Candidates awaiting results must ensure their O’Level grades (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) are properly uploaded onto both the FULAFIA MIS Portal and JAMB CAPS once released.
-
Verify Application Summary: Cross-check all personal information, subject combinations, and screening fee payment receipts before final submission.
The Management appreciates the patience and cooperation of all prospective applicants and wishes everyone success in the 2026/2027 admission screening exercise
