The Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2nd supplementary admission exercise for the 2026/2027 academic session.
This notice informs interested candidates who participated in the 2026/2027 FUTO Post-UTME exercise that there are still vacancies for supplementary admissions in various university programmes.
The exercise is open to three groups: candidates who applied before without receiving an offer, candidates who scored at least 160 in the UTME but chose another university first, and candidates who never registered for the FUTO Post-UTME.
Eligibility Criteria
To be considered for this supplementary admission, candidates must meet certain criteria:
Previous Applicants
Candidates who previously enrolled for the FUTO supplementary admissions exercise but have not received an admissions offer may reapply for any advertised courses without incurring additional fees.
Change of Institution
Candidates who scored a minimum of 160 in their UTME but did not initially choose FUTO as their first choice university can apply on the condition that they change their first choice institution to FUTO on the JAMB website.
New Applicants
Candidates who did not initially register for FUTO Post-UTME and supplementary admissions can apply by paying the sum of thirteen thousand naira (N13,000.00) for the Post-UTME and supplementary admission.
Document Upload
All candidates must upload their O’level results on the JAMB portal to be eligible for the Post-UTME screening exercise.
JAMB Brochure Guidance
Candidates are advised to thoroughly consult the JAMB brochure to understand the UTME combinations and SSCE requirements for their desired course of study.
Two of these conditions are easy to overlook. Changing your first choice to FUTO must be done on the JAMB website, and the O’Level results must be uploaded to the JAMB portal rather than to FUTO.
The two application fees quoted on this page do not agree with each other, so confirm the amount payable with FUTO before you generate an invoice.
Method of Application
Registration for the 2nd supplementary admission exercise begins on Monday, June 12, 2026, and closes on Monday, June 26, 2026. Interested candidates should follow these steps to register:
- Visit the University’s official website.
- Click on “Prospective Students.”
- Click on “Undergraduate.”
- Click on “2026/2027 Supplementary Application.”
- Click on “Apply Here.”
- Your JAMB registration number should be entered.
- Print your invoice, then head to any bank to pay the N11,000 non-refundable fee using the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code. You may also use an ATM card to make a payment.
- Visit the gateway once more if the payment is successful.
- A completed and submitted Supplementary Application Form must be used.
- Create a printout of your “Acknowledgement Slip.”
For any support or assistance during the application process, candidates can contact FUTO via e-mail at ict@futo.edu.ng or through the hotline: 08139833300.
A Second Chance at FUTO for Candidates Who Scored 160 and Above
The most useful part of this notice is the change of institution route. A candidate who reached 160 in the UTME but named another university first can still be considered, provided the change is made on the JAMB website.
Earlier applicants who were not offered a place may reapply for any advertised course without paying again, while candidates new to the FUTO Post-UTME pay the advertised fee.
Upload your O’Level results to the JAMB portal, check your intended course against the JAMB brochure, and register within the dates given above. FUTO takes queries at ict@futo.edu.ng or on 08139833300.
