EDO STATE UNIVERSITY, IYAMHO RELEASES POST-UTME/DE ADMISSION FORM FOR THE 2026/2027 ACADEMIC SESSION

Applications are open to candidates who chose the university as their first choice, as well as those who wish to make a change of institution to the university on JAMB CAPS.

Key Timelines & Deadlines

• Registration Portal Opens: Friday, June 12, 2026

• O’Level Upload Deadline (JAMB CAPS): Monday, August 31, 2026

• Age Prerequisite: Candidates must be at least 16 years old on or before September 30, 2026.

Eligibility Criteria

To be considered for admission, applicants must satisfy the following strict institutional and regulatory requirements:

• UTME Candidates: Must have sat for the 2026 UTME, selected the university as their first-choice institution, and obtained a minimum score of 150 (alongside meeting the specific university-approved cut-off mark for their chosen course). Candidates must also possess the required O’Level credits as specified in the JAMB Brochure.

• Direct Entry (DE) Candidates: Must hold a valid 2026 JAMB DE registration profile and meet the university’s specific prerequisites for advanced entry.

• Change of Institution: Candidates who did not initially choose the university as their first choice but scored 150 or above are eligible to apply. However, they must execute a change of institution to Edo State University via their JAMB CAPS profile prior to submitting their screening application.

• Awaiting Results: Candidates awaiting 2026 WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results are fully eligible to apply, provided their deficiencies are cleared and results are uploaded to JAMB CAPS on or before the August 31 closing date.

Application Fees

All payments must be processed exclusively via the Remita platform integrated into the university portal.

⚠️ Warning: Payments made to private accounts, cash hand-ins, or unauthorized third-party platforms are invalid. Independent admission racketeering is heavily penalized; admission is strictly on merit.

Step-by-Step Application Procedure

 Nature of the Screening Exercise

The screening architecture is split into two formats based on your chosen course of study:

1. Physical (On-Campus) Screening

• Applicable Courses: Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, and Law (both UTME and Direct Entry applicants).

• Process: Candidates must sit for a physical Post-UTME Screening Test on the university campus. Specific assessment dates and sitting times will be communicated to individual profiles shortly.

• Grading Matrix: Screened via a composite score derived from the Post-UTME Test + verified JAMB score + O’Level credentials verified on JAMB CAPS.

2. Online-Only Screening

• Applicable Courses: All other UTME programmes and standard Direct Entry courses (excluding Medicine, Nursing, and Law).

• Process: No physical presence is required on campus. The screening is entirely computational and is calculated based on verified JAMB scores and the O’Level results uploaded directly to your JAMB CAPS profile.

Critical Instructions for Candidates

• Profile Consistency: Ensure that your name layout, JAMB Registration Number, Date of Birth, and State of Origin match identically across both the JAMB CAPS system and the Edo State University database. Discrepancies will trigger immediate automated disqualification.

• O’Level Upload Prerequisite: Regardless of your performance, only profiles with fully uploaded and verified O’Level results on JAMB CAPS by August 31, 2026, will be factored into the final admission list.

• Two-Week Admission Acceptance Window: If provisional admission is extended to you, you must log into JAMB CAPS and accept the offer within two (2) weeks. Failure to accept the offer inside this timeframe will cause an automatic, permanent forfeiture of your admission slot.
