The Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences, Iyin-Ekiti (FUTES-IYIN), has reopened its 2026/2027 admission portal for three newly approved programmes. The application window runs from Tuesday, 6 October, to Tuesday, 13 October 2026.
Newly approved programmes
The National Universities Commission (NUC) approved the following programmes in a letter dated 11 September 2026:
- Artificial Intelligence.
- Telecommunication Science.
- Tourism & Hospitality Management.
The approval followed an NUC resource verification exercise on 27 August 2026, when the commission assessed the university's facilities, personnel and other resources for the programmes.
Application requirements and steps
The reopened window is for prospective candidates who meet the requirements for the newly approved programmes. The university's initial screening registration period had already closed.
- Visit the FUTES-IYIN admission application portal and read all registration guidelines and instructions before applying.
- Complete the application for one of the newly approved programmes.
- Make the required change of institution to FUTES-IYIN and change of programme to one of the newly approved courses through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Central Admissions Processing System (JAMB CAPS).
- Complete the application and JAMB changes within the 6 to 13 October 2026 window.
The university says the portal will close at the end of the one-week application period.
University's plans for the programmes
Vice-Chancellor Professor Gbenga Aribisala said the programmes respond to emerging needs and complement the university's technological and environmental focus. He said the institution would prioritise relevance and quality and had worked to provide the human and physical resources needed.
The approval comes as FUTES-IYIN prepares for its second academic session after completing its first academic year.
