Last updated: 22th July, 2026. This is probably one of the questions we receive almost every day from UNIABUJA aspirants.
“When will the University of Abuja start selling the Post UTME form?”
At the moment, the UNIABUJA Post UTME form for the 2026/2027 admission session has not been released yet. The university has not made any official announcement regarding the commencement of the screening exercise.
If you’re wondering why the form is taking longer than expected, there’s really no need to panic.
From what we know, the University of Abuja is currently conducting its first semester examinations, which began around July 8–12. The examination period is expected to continue until the end of July before students proceed on break.
When will UNIABUJA post utme start?
Looking at how the university has handled admissions in previous years, it is reasonable to expect the Post UTME registration to begin sometime in mid August 2026, most likely during the first or second week of the month. While this is not an official date from the university, it is simply an expectation based on the school’s academic calendar and previous admission timelines.
So, instead of checking the admission portal every few hours, this is actually the best time to prepare yourself.
Start by gathering every document you’re likely to need. Keep both the original copies and photocopies neatly arranged inside a file. Doing this now will save you a lot of stress when the screening exercise eventually begins.
Your file should contain documents such as:
- Your JAMB result slip.
- WAEC, NECO or NABTEB result.
- Birth certificate or declaration of age.
- Certificate of origin or local government identification.
- Recent passport photographs.
- Any other document the university may request.
You should also keep soft copies of these documents on your phone or a flash drive because they may be needed during the online registration.
This waiting period is also a good time to confirm that your O’Level result has been uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. Many candidates overlook this simple step, only to discover much later that it delayed their admission process.
If this is your first time applying for admission, you may also be wondering what usually happens once the university announces the Post UTME.
Based on previous admission exercises, the process is usually straightforward.
Once the UNIABUJA Post UTME form is officially released, you’ll be required to register through the university’s admission portal, select undergraduate when registering. If this is your first admission application, we recommend visiting a trusted cyber café that has experience handling JAMB and Post UTME registrations.
Don’t go empty-handed. To be on the safe side, take all your admission documents neatly arranged in a file, together with the soft copies on your phone or flash drive. Having everything ready means the registration can be completed in one visit without having to return home because an important document was missing.
At the cyber café, the attendant will help you enter your JAMB registration number, generate your payment invoice, pay the screening fee, complete the online application, upload the required details and documents, and print your acknowledgement slip after a successful registration.
Before leaving, carefully check that your name, JAMB registration number, phone number, email address, O’Level details, and every other piece of information were entered correctly. Also, make sure you collect your acknowledgement slip and payment receipt, as you may need them later during the admission process.
After the registration portal closes, the university screens all qualified candidates based on their JAMB score, O’Level results, and other admission requirements before releasing the admission list.
For now, the most important thing is to stay calm, keep your documents ready, and continue checking this page for official updates. As soon as the University of Abuja announces the commencement of the 2026/2027 Post UTME screening exercise, we will update this page immediately with the registration date, eligibility requirements, screening fee, and the complete application process.
