If you are asking which federal university is still selling post UTME form, you are not late yet, but the clock is ticking. Several federal institutions are still taking applications for the 2026/2027 session, and some will shut their portals in just a few days. This guide shows you exactly which ones are open, when they close, and what to do next.
As of Saturday, October 24, 2026, here is the quick answer: seven federal universities on our list still have open screening or admission forms. Let’s go through them one by one.
Federal Universities Still Selling Post UTME Forms Right Now
The table below is arranged by closing date, so the most urgent ones come first.
| University | Location | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences, Funtua (FUMHSF) | Katsina State | October 26, 2026 |
| Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences (FUTES-IYIN) | Iyin-Ekiti | Tuesday, October 27, 2026 |
| Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) | Ondo | October 30, 2026 |
| Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo | Kano State | Friday, October 30, 2026 |
| Federal University Dutse (FUD) | Jigawa State | October 30, 2026 |
| Federal University of Environment and Technology (FUET) | Koroma/Saakpenwa, Rivers State | Friday, October 30, 2026 |
| Federal University of Technology, Ikot Abasi (FUTIA) | Akwa Ibom State | Sunday, November 15, 2026 (registration) |
Note: Federal Polytechnic Offa (affiliated with FUTMINNA) also closes on October 30, but it is a polytechnic, not a university, so we have left it out of the main list.
Which Ones Should You Rush First?
Think of it as a queue. FUMHSF closes on October 26, which is just two days away, and FUTES-IYIN follows on October 27. If either of these is your target, stop reading and start your application today. Do not wait for the last evening, because portals tend to slow down badly when everyone logs in at once.
The rest, AFUED, FUST Kabo, FUD and FUET, close together on October 30. That gives you about six days, which is enough if your documents are ready. FUTIA is the most relaxed of the lot, with registration open until November 15.
Not Federal? You Still Have Options
Many candidates focus only on federal schools and forget how many state and private universities are also open. Some of the names still accepting forms include Ekiti State University (EKSU), Adekunle Ajasin University (AAUA), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Crawford University and Vision University, most of them closing on October 30. Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU) closes earlier, on October 28, while the University of Uyo has a supplementary admission window that ends on October 25.
Gombe State University has not stated a deadline, so check its official channels before you assume anything.
Already missed: Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) closed on October 23. If you were hoping for it, you will need a backup plan.
What You Need Before You Start Applying
Most portals ask for the same basic things. Gather these first so you are not hunting for them at the last minute:
- Your JAMB registration number and a printed copy of your UTME result slip
- Your O’Level results (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB), or your result checker details if they are still pending
- A working email address and an active phone number
- A passport photograph, scanned clearly
- Birth certificate or declaration of age, and your state of origin details
- Money for the form fee, usually paid online through the school’s portal
One important point: confirm that you chose the university as your first or second choice in JAMB, or that you are applying through a supplementary or change-of-institution route. Some schools will not process you otherwise. You can confirm the current rules on the official JAMB website.
How to Apply: A Simple Walk-through
- Visit the university’s official portal. Type the address yourself or use the link on the school’s verified website. Fake portals are common this time of year.
- Create an account with your JAMB number and email.
- Pay the application fee and keep your receipt safe.
- Fill in your bio-data and academic details carefully, because errors can disqualify you later.
- Upload your documents and submit.
- Print your slip. You will need it for the screening exercise.
Mistakes That Cost Candidates Their Admission
Every year, good candidates lose their chance for avoidable reasons. The most common is paying through an agent or an unofficial link and then finding out the payment never reached the school. Always pay on the official portal. The second is entering a wrong JAMB number or name spelling that does not match your result. The third is waiting until the final day, then running into network trouble.
Also, do not assume that buying the form means you have been admitted. It only gets you into the screening process. Your UTME score, O’Level results and screening performance still decide the outcome.
Prepare for the Screening Itself
Once your form is submitted, shift your attention to the screening. Many federal universities use a mix of UTME score and post-UTME performance, so practising old questions makes a real difference. Our guides on OAU post-UTME past questions and UNILAG post-UTME past questions and answers show you the style of questions these schools like to ask. You can also revise the core subjects with our JAMB past questions and answers PDF.
A Word on Safety
Admission season brings out scammers. Nobody can sell you a guaranteed admission, and no genuine school asks you to pay a “middleman” for a place. Check every announcement on the university’s own website, and for national guidance on admissions you can visit the National Universities Commission (NUC).
