UNIBEN Post-UTME & DE Form 2026/2027: All You Need to Know

University of Benin (UNIBEN) has announced the Post UTME and Post Direct Entry screening details for 2026/2027 undergraduate admission.

Eligible candidates can apply from Friday, 5 June 2026, until midnight on Friday, 3 July 2026.

Who Can Apply for UNIBEN Post UTME 2026/2027?

UTME candidates can apply if they chose University of Benin as their first choice through JAMB and scored 200 or above.

That rule sets the entry line.

Direct Entry candidates who applied through JAMB for 2026/2027 admission and chose UNIBEN as first choice can also take part in the screening process. The form covers both Post UTME and Post Direct Entry candidates.

What O'Level Results Does UNIBEN Require?

Candidates need at least five credit passes at GCE O/L, SSCE, NECO or an equivalent result.

The result must meet the subject rule.

The five credits must include English Language, Mathematics for courses that require a credit in Mathematics and three other relevant subjects. Where Mathematics does not count as part of the five required subjects for a course, the candidate must have four other relevant subjects.

Candidates must also meet this result rule at not more than two sittings. That detail matters during application checks.

When Will UNIBEN Post UTME Registration Start and End?

UNIBEN Post UTME and Direct Entry application starts at 8.00 a.m. on Friday, 5 June 2026.

The portal closes at midnight on Friday, 3 July 2026.

How Much Is the UNIBEN Post UTME Form?

The UNIBEN Post UTME and Post Direct Entry screening fee is N2,000.

Portal access charges do not form part of that amount.

Candidates must pay through Remita by following the portal instructions. Payment requires a valid ATM-enabled card from any commercial bank in Nigeria.

When Will UNIBEN Hold the Screening?

UNIBEN has scheduled the screening for Monday, 27 July 2026, to Saturday, 1 August 2026.

The screening will take place at designated centres within Ugbowo Campus.

The university will conduct the screening as a Computer-Based Test, so candidates should treat it as a timed digital test. Each candidate must check the assigned date, venue and time before going to the centre.

When Can Candidates Check Their Screening Schedule?

Candidates should go back online from Friday, 17 July 2026, to check their specific screening day, venue and time.

This step comes after application.

The schedule matters because candidates will not all sit for the test at the same time. Each candidate needs the assigned details before leaving for Ugbowo Campus.

What Should Candidates Bring to the Screening Centre?

Candidates must come to the screening centre with the required slips.

• Acknowledgement slip
• Screening Invitation Slip containing the screening schedule

These documents help confirm the candidate's application and assigned screening details. A candidate should print and keep them safe before the test date.

What Rules Apply at the Screening Centre?

UNIBEN expects all candidates to sit down at least one hour before the stated screening time.

Early arrival reduces avoidable pressure.

Mobile phones and calculators are not allowed at the screening centre. Candidates should leave restricted items out before entering the venue.

What Should Candidates Check Before Submitting the Form?

Candidates should confirm every detail before clicking submit.

No correction will be accepted after submission.

• JAMB Registration Number
• JAMB score
• Chosen password
• Personal details
• Payment status
• Screening fee record
• O'Level subject details
• Direct Entry details, where needed

A careful review can prevent errors that the portal will not allow the candidate to fix later.

What Happens If a Candidate Pays After the Deadline?

A candidate who pays after midnight on Friday, 3 July 2026, will not be screened.

The deadline is strict.

This means the candidate must complete the full online application before the portal closes, not just start the form. Payment after the closing time does not count for screening.
