Every admission cycle, African University of Science and Technology (AUST) puts thousands of hopeful candidates through a post-UTME screening form, and the 2026/2027 session is no different.
The university manages this through its own portal at aust.edu.ng, which is separate from the main JAMB platform, so candidates should not assume both systems work the same way.
We have laid out the process clearly below so you can move through it confidently and avoid the common pitfalls other candidates run into.
A Wide Array of Courses on Offer
AUST offers a range of accredited undergraduate programs designed to build students with the skills and knowledge required to advance in their chosen fields. The courses for which the post-UTME forms are available include:
- Accounting (B.Sc.)
- Business (B.Sc.)
- Computer Science (B.Sc.)
- Civil Engineering (B.Eng)
- Mechanical Engineering (B.Eng)
- Materials & Metallurgical Engineering (B.Eng)
- Petroleum & Energy Resource Engineering (B.Eng)
- Software Engineering (B.Sc.)
Eligibility Requirements for Applicants
To qualify for the post-UTME application, candidates must meet certain criteria. First, applicants must have sat for the 2026 UTME and achieved the required cut-off mark set by the university.
In addition, the applicant must have earned at least five credits in their West African Examinations Council (WAEC) or National Examination Council (NECO) results, including credits in Mathematics and English.
How to Apply
Candidates who are interested and qualified are invited to apply for the post-UTME via the university’s official website.

Tips for Filling Out the Form Correctly
Fill in your details exactly as they appear on your JAMB slip, since even small mismatches, such as a missing middle name, can cause problems later during verification.
Save a copy of your submitted form or a screenshot of the confirmation page, since you may need to reference it if any issue comes up afterward.
Read every instruction on the form carefully before submitting, since some institutions do not allow corrections once a form has been finally submitted.
Before submitting, review every field once more for typos in your name, phone number, and email, since these are the details the institution will use to reach you later.

Candidates applying from areas with unreliable electricity or internet access should plan to use a cyber cafe or a location with backup power, since losing connection midway through a submission can sometimes cause errors.
It also helps to save the official portal link to your phone’s home screen or bookmarks bar, since typing a long web address from memory is an easy way to end up on the wrong site.
Final Guidance
Now that you understand how the African University of Science and Technology (AUST) post-UTME screening form works for 2026/2027, the most important thing is to act on it promptly rather than leaving it until the last moment.
Keep checking the official school portal regularly for updates, since institutions sometimes adjust dates or requirements without much advance notice.
Above all, rely only on official sources for updates about African University of Science and Technology (AUST), since rumours and unofficial pages tend to spread inaccurate information during busy admission periods.
