FUOYE Admission Guide 2026/2027 for UTME & Direct Entry Candidates 

Securing admission into FUOYE is rarely a matter of luck. It requires careful planning, understanding the process, and taking the right actions at the right time. Many students miss out on admission not because they are unqualified, but because they either do not follow the process correctly or rely on inaccurate information.

This guide will provide you with a clear, step-by-step overview of the admission process for 2026/2027, based on what has consistently worked in past years.

Following the correct steps early significantly increases your chances of success.

Understanding the 2026 JAMB Process

The journey begins with JAMB. There is no shortcut here. Registration for this cycle has already closed, so if you have written your exam or are waiting for results, your next focus should be on tracking and preparing for post-exam steps.

The UTME exam ran from mid-April to late April 2026. Results are typically released within one to two weeks after the exam. Once your results are available, print your result slip immediately, as it will be required for the FUOYE screening process.

It is essential to note that FUOYE must be your first-choice institution. If you did not initially select it, you can still request a change of institution through JAMB CAPS, but this must be done promptly to avoid unnecessary delays.

Direct Entry (DE) candidates follow a similar process, but all JAMB requirements must be met before the university can recognize your application.

FUOYE Admission Requirements

FUOYE adheres strictly to standard admission requirements. Accuracy in your documentation is critical.

For UTME Candidates:

• Minimum JAMB Score: 160 (Note: Many courses, particularly competitive ones, require higher scores. Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, Law, and Engineering often demand scores above 200.)
• O’Level Requirements: At least five credits, including English and Mathematics, preferably in one sitting. Medical-related courses strictly require one sitting with no result combination.
• O’Level Uploads: Ensure your results are correctly uploaded. Incomplete or inaccurate results may lead to immediate disqualification.

For Direct Entry Candidates:

• In addition to O’Level results, you must provide qualifications such as ND, NCE, HND, or A-Level results depending on your course. The university strictly enforces these requirements.

Departmental Cut-Off Marks

FUOYE sets cut-off marks according to individual courses, not general minimums.

• Agriculture Courses: 160–180 (moderate competition)
• Arts Courses: 160–200 (depending on demand)
• Competitive Courses:
  • Nursing: around 250
  • Medical Laboratory Science: around 240
  • Law & Engineering: 200+

If your aim is a competitive course, your goal should be to exceed the cut-off, not merely meet it.

FUOYE Screening Process

FUOYE does not conduct a physical post-UTME exam. Screening is entirely online but remains crucial.

1. Log in to the FUOYE portal using your JAMB registration number.
2. Complete your personal information carefully.
3. Upload your passport photograph, correct contact details, and verified O’Level results.
4. Pay the screening fee of ₦2,000 online.
5. Print your registration slip for safekeeping.

Screening typically begins in July and ends in August. Do not wait until the last minute, as portal closure means you miss your chance.

Post-Screening Admission Process

1. Admission lists are first released on JAMB CAPS before appearing on the school portal.
2. Accept your admission immediately on CAPS to secure your spot.
3. Pay the acceptance fee (recently around ₦90,000; verify the amount for your session).
4. Proceed with school fees payment and other registration procedures.
