KU Post-UTME Form 2026/2027

Updated on 6 November 2026 · How we verify

Quick answer: The KU post-UTME/screening form for 2026/2027 is sold online on the school portal after UTME 2026 results and the JAMB policy meeting — JAMB caps the screening charge at ₦2,000 with no hidden add-ons; in practice several universities (UI, LAUTECH, UNIOSUN, AAUA, FUNAAB) charge a separate ₦3,000 ‘portal access’ fee, so budget ₦2,000–₦5,000. You are eligible if you chose KU as first choice and scored at least 180, with the correct subject combination and O’Level credits.

What the screening looks like

Most universities now run a computer-based test (CBT) of 40–60 questions drawn from your UTME subjects, taken on campus or at designated centres. Some have replaced the test with document screening and O’Level points.

Additional notes from KU’s previous screening exercise

A prospective candidate must have not less than five passes at credit level in SSCE, GCE, or NECO including English and Mathematics in not more than two sittings. The University will insist on possession of credit passes in English Language and Mathematics for all categories of students seeking admission to the University.
Moreover, each candidate is expected to have an acceptable score in the UTME. The University will also conduct post-UTME screening to ensure that only the best students are admitted as well as to maintain high educational standards.
Candidates with GCE ‘A’ level with acceptable score in relevant subjects plus credit pass in ‘O’ Level English and Mathematics may be considered for a direct entry into the University.
