Facts about UNIMAID Post-UTME Screening (2025/2026)
Many parents and candidates ask: what’s Unimaid POST-UME Screening all about? If you selected the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) as your first choice in JAMB, then you’ll need to participate in the school’s Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening exercise before you can be considered for admission. This screening is a crucial stage that determines whether your name will appear on the final admission list.
Does UNIMAID Write Post-UTME Exams?
Unlike some universities that conduct written aptitude tests, UNIMAID does not hold Post-UTME exams for the 2025/2026 session. Instead, the school adopts an online/document screening process. This means your admission will be based on the information and results you submit during registration, alongside your JAMB UTME score.
What the Screening Involves
The Post-UTME screening process is done entirely online. Here’s how it works:
1. Registration – Candidates are required to register for the screening on the UNIMAID portal and pay a ₦2,000 non-refundable fee via Remita.
2. Document Upload – During registration, you’ll be asked to upload your O’Level results, JAMB result slip, birth certificate/age declaration, and other relevant details.
3. Verification – The university will verify your details against JAMB’s CAPS (Central Admission Processing System).
4. Admission Consideration – If your credentials meet the departmental cut-off mark and other requirements, you stand a good chance of being admitted.
Important Documents to Prepare
Here are the key documents you will need to upload during screening:
- JAMB UTME result slip.
- O’Level result(s) (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent).
- Birth certificate or age declaration.
- Passport photograph (recent and clear).
- For Direct Entry: NCE, ND, HND, or IJMB result/certificate.
The UNIMAID Post-UTME screening is not an exam but a credential verification process. Your admission success depends largely on your UTME score, O’Level grades, and meeting the departmental cut-off marks.
So, make sure that all the information you provide is correct and that your O’Level results are uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal, because failure to do so may affect your admission chances.
