PTI Post-UTME Form 2026/2027

Updated on 6 November 2026 · How we verify

Quick answer: The PTI 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 PTI as first choice and scored at least 180, with the correct subject combination and O’Level credits.
