ADUN 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Form, Cut-Off Marks & Complete Application Guide

The management of Admiralty University of Nigeria (ADUN), located in Ibusa, Delta State, has officially announced the commencement of the 2026/2027 Academic Session Post-UTME and Direct Entry Screening Exercise. This guide covers every step — eligibility criteria, cut-off scores, required documents, the online registration procedure, screening dates, and frequently asked questions — so that every prospective candidate can complete their application without stress, without an agent, and without paying unnecessary fees.

If you scored above 150 in the 2026 JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and listed ADUN as your first-choice institution, this article is your complete roadmap to securing a place in the 2017-established institution — one of Delta State's leading universities renowned for Cybersecurity, Forensic Science, Computer Science & Maritime Economics.

Background: What Is the Post-UTME Screening?

The Post-UTME (Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is a supplementary assessment conducted by Nigerian universities to shortlist candidates for admission from among those who sat the JAMB UTME. It was reintroduced following a Federal Government directive permitting universities to set institutional screening standards beyond the national JAMB cut-off. ADUN uses this screening to assess academic aptitude, verify O'Level credentials, and compute an aggregate score that determines departmental placement for the Admiralty University of Nigeria.

The aggregate score is typically computed as a weighted combination of your JAMB UTME score and your O'Level results. At ADUN, the weighting is broadly: JAMB UTME (50%) + O'Level Grades (50%), though faculty-specific weights may apply for highly competitive courses like Cybersecurity, Forensic Science, Computer Science & Maritime Economics.

1. Eligibility Requirements

Before spending a single naira on the application fee, verify that you meet all of the following requirements. Candidates who do not meet these criteria will have their forms automatically invalidated without refund.

1a. JAMB UTME Score

The minimum UTME score accepted by ADUN for the 2026/2027 session is 150 points. However, this is the institutional benchmark — individual departments, especially high-demand programmes, operate with much higher departmental cut-offs. Here is a general department-cluster breakdown:

Faculty / Programme Cluster	Minimum UTME Score	JAMB Subjects Required
Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Medical Lab	200+	English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics
Law, Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities	180+	English, Literature/Govt/History, CRS/Economics, one other
Engineering, Technology & Sciences	170+	English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry
Education, Management & Social Sciences	150+	English, Mathematics or Economics, plus two relevant subjects
Agriculture, Environmental & Biological Sciences	150+	English, Biology/Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Mathematics

1b. O'Level (SSCE) Requirements

Candidates must present a minimum of five (5) credit passes in relevant WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two (2) sitting sessions. The specific combination of subjects depends on your intended department. Note that:

• Results must be from sittings not earlier than 2020 (i.e., within the last six years).
• Awaiting-Result (AR) candidates are permitted to register but must present full results before clearance.
• NABTEB results are accepted for technical / vocational departments only.
• GCE A-Level passes can substitute missing O'Level credits at the discretion of the Faculty Board.

1c. First Choice & Change of Institution

Only candidates who listed ADUN as their JAMB first-choice institution are eligible to apply. If you listed a different institution as your first choice, you must first perform a Change of Institution via any accredited JAMB CBT centre by paying the JAMB change-of-institution fee (₦2,500). After successfully changing your first choice to ADUN on JAMB CAPS, you may then proceed to register for the ADUN Post-UTME screening.

1d. Direct Entry Candidates

Candidates with National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), NCE, A-Level, IJMB, or JUPEB qualifications can apply for Direct Entry admission into 200 Level without JAMB UTME. DEntry applicants must present their DE qualification, O'Level results, and JAMB Direct Entry form. Minimum classification required is Lower Credit (for ND/HND) or Merit (for NCE/A-Level/IJMB).

2. Required Documents Checklist

Prepare clear digital scans (JPEG or PDF, maximum 500KB per file) of all the following documents before visiting the portal. Incomplete uploads will result in an unverified application status.

1. 2026 JAMB UTME Result Slip — Must show your candidate photograph, registration number, and score printout.
2. O'Level Result(s) — WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB statement of result or certificate. If combining two sittings, upload both.
3. Birth Certificate or Age Declaration — Sworn affidavit accepted if original birth certificate is unavailable.
4. State of Origin Certificate / LGA Identification Letter — Signed by the Local Government Chairman and sealed. Delta State indigenes applying for state-sponsored scholarships must also present this for scholarship verification.
5. Recent Passport Photograph — White or red background, taken within the last three months, JPEG format, not less than 200 × 200 pixels.
6. NIN (National Identity Number) Slip — To confirm JAMB biodata match.
7. For Direct Entry candidates: ND/HND/NCE transcript, IJMB or JUPEB result notification, plus a formal DE JAMB form.

3. Application Fee Schedule

Applicant Category	Application Fee	Payment Method
UTME Applicant (First Choice)	₦2,000	Remita RRR (online or bank branch)
Direct Entry Applicant	₦2,000	Remita RRR (online or bank branch)
Change of Course / Department (after admission)	₦5,000	Via ADUN Finance Portal

Note: The application fee is non-refundable regardless of screening outcome. Ensure you meet all eligibility criteria before payment.

4. Step-by-Step Online Registration Procedure

Follow this exact sequence to complete your registration on the official ADUN admissions portal. Do not rely on third-party agents or websites — the official portal is the only legitimate channel.

1. Open Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge (avoid Safari on mobile for portal compatibility) and navigate to the official admissions portal: https://portal.adun.edu.ng.
2. On the homepage, locate and click the banner labelled "2026/2027 Post-UTME / Direct Entry Application". If the banner is not visible, scroll to the "Admissions" menu in the top navigation bar.
3. Click "New Applicant Registration". You will be prompted to enter your 10-digit JAMB Registration Number. The portal will automatically fetch your biodata (name, date of birth, photograph) from the JAMB central database.
4. Verify that your JAMB biodata on-screen is accurate. If there is a mismatch (e.g., incorrect name spelling), you must resolve it at a JAMB office before proceeding — ADUN cannot correct JAMB profile data.
5. Select your Programme of Interest (faculty and department) from the dropdown list. Carefully check departmental UTME subject requirements against your JAMB subjects before finalizing your choice.
6. Click "Generate Payment Invoice". A unique Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) number will be displayed. Screenshot or write this number down.
7. Pay the screening fee using one of the following methods:
   • Online Payment: Use your debit card (Mastercard / Visa / Verve) directly on the Remita payment gateway. Ensure you receive a payment confirmation SMS/email.
   • Bank Branch Payment: Present your printed RRR number at any commercial bank cashier. Obtain a stamped bank teller as proof of payment.
8. Return to the portal 30 minutes after payment (to allow for bank confirmation), log in with your JAMB number, and proceed to the "Application Form" section.
9. Fill in your personal details, contact address, parent or guardian information, and next of kin. Then input your O'Level subjects and grades one by one. Cross-check every entry — errors in O'Level entry cause clearance delays.
10. Upload all required documents (see checklist above). Each file must not exceed 500KB.
11. Review your completed application on the "Preview" page. When satisfied, click "Submit Application".
12. Print two (2) copies of your ADUN Post-UTME Acknowledgment Slip. This slip is your proof of registration and will be required at the physical screening venue.

5. Screening Date & Venue

The ADUN 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise is scheduled to hold on the Admiralty University of Nigeria main campus in Ibusa, Delta State. Candidates are advised to monitor the official university website (https://adun.edu.ng) and this page for the exact date, time, and venue assignment. Screening is typically computer-based (CBT) and lasts approximately 40 to 60 minutes. Bring your acknowledgment slip, a valid form of ID (NIN card, voter's card, or student ID), and writing materials.

Key milestones to watch:

• 📅 Registration Opens: September 2026
• 📅 Registration Deadline: October 2026 (watch for official date)
• 📅 Screening Date: October – November 2026
• 📅 Results Release: Within 2–4 weeks of screening
• 📅 Admission List Upload: November – December 2026 (on JAMB CAPS)

6. Aggregate Score Computation

After the screening exercise, ADUN computes an aggregate score for each candidate using a standardized formula. Understanding how this works helps you to realistically assess your chances.

The typical formula is:

Aggregate = (JAMB Score ÷ 400 × 50) + (O'Level Points ÷ 120 × 50)
Each A1 grade = 6 pts, B2 = 5 pts, B3 = 4 pts, C4 = 3 pts, C5 = 2 pts, C6 = 1 pt (max 6 subjects = 36 pts for 6 subjects, but typically 5 subjects are counted).

Only candidates who achieve the required aggregate score for their chosen department will be offered provisional admission. Candidates who fall short may be considered for related departments with lower cut-off aggregates, subject to availability.

7. After Screening: What Happens Next?

Once screening results are released, successful candidates will receive notification via the portal and JAMB CAPS. The subsequent steps are:

1. Check JAMB CAPS: Log into efacility.jamb.gov.ng to see your admission status. Accept your offer if it reads "Congratulations — Admission Offered".
2. Print JAMB Admission Letter: Download and print both the candidate and institutional copies.
3. Pay Acceptance Fee: Log back into the ADUN student portal and generate the acceptance fee invoice (typically ₦20,000 – ₦50,000 depending on faculty). Pay within the specified deadline to secure your slot.
4. Physical Clearance / Documentation: Report to the ADUN Admissions Office in Ibusa with all original documents for physical verification. You will be issued a Student Clearance Card upon successful clearance.
5. Course Registration: Log into the student academic portal to register for first-semester courses and obtain your matriculation number.

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: I scored 150 in JAMB but I chose a different school first. Can I still apply to ADUN?

A: Yes, but you must first perform a Change of Institution at any JAMB-accredited CBT centre (cost: ₦2,500). Once the change reflects on JAMB CAPS showing ADUN as your first choice, proceed to the ADUN Post-UTME portal to register.

Q: What if I have pending (Awaiting Result) O'Level results?

A: Candidates with AR status are permitted to register for the Post-UTME. However, final admission will be withheld until the complete result is uploaded and verified on the portal. Candidates must upload their awaiting-result statement and submit the final result within 30 days of release.

Q: Can I apply to two departments simultaneously?

A: No. The ADUN Post-UTME system only allows one department choice per registration. However, if your aggregate score is insufficient for your first choice, the Admissions Board may consider you for an alternative department with a lower entry threshold. You can also submit a departmental change request after receiving admission, for a fee of ₦5,000.

Q: I forgot to print my acknowledgment slip. What should I do?

A: Log back into the Post-UTME portal using your JAMB registration number and click "Reprint Acknowledgment Slip". If you encounter difficulty, visit the ADUN ICT Centre on campus during working hours (8am – 4pm, Mon – Fri) with your JAMB result slip for manual verification.

Q: Is there a minimum post-UTME score (CBT exam) required?

A: Yes. While the exact pass mark is set annually by the Admissions Committee, candidates who score below 40% in the Post-UTME aptitude test typically do not receive offers regardless of JAMB scores. Prepare thoroughly by practising past ADUN Post-UTME questions and JAMB subject syllabi.

Q: What is the closing date for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME registration?

A: The exact deadline will be published on the official ADUN website. Historically, the portal closes 3 to 4 weeks after opening. Do not wait until the deadline — technical issues on the last day are common and ADUN will not extend the deadline for stragglers.
