Benson Idahosa University (BIU) runs its own screening process separate from JAMB’s central system, which means candidates preparing for the 2026/2027 session need clear, accurate guidance on the post-UTME screening process.
Because the process runs through admissions.biuportal.net rather than a generic national system, candidates who are not familiar with the school’s portal sometimes lose time looking in the wrong place.
The rest of this article covers everything you need, from the official steps to what to do immediately afterward.

A Few Practical Reminders
Keep your JAMB details, email, and phone number consistent across every form you fill, since mismatched information is one of the most common reasons applications get delayed.
Set reminders for any deadlines mentioned on the official portal, since admission offices rarely extend these dates for individual candidates.
Whatever stage of the process you are at, keep a dedicated folder, physical or digital, for every document and receipt related to your admission.
Finally, be wary of anyone who claims they can guarantee you admission for a fee. Legitimate admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions is never sold privately outside the official process.

If you run into any issue along the way, reach out to the school’s admissions office directly rather than relying on unofficial sources or agents.
