The Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi (FUAM), presently known as Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi (JOSTUM), has officially announced the admission list for the academic year 2026/2027.
Candidates who sat the entrance screening for 2026/2027 can now check whether a place has been offered.
The university was formerly the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, which is why its portal and some documents still carry the FUAM name.
The school portal and JAMB CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) offer access to the provisional list of selected applicants.
How to Check the JOSTUM Admission List
Prospective students can check their admission status by following the steps outlined below:
- Go to the JOSTUM admission status checking portal

- Print their JAMB admission letter after accepting the admission.
- Print their original JAMB result slip (this comes with passport photography affixed to it).

Confirming Your JOSTUM Makurdi Place
Congratulations to all the candidates who made it to the JOSTUM admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Accepting the offer on CAPS is the step that holds the place, and an offer left unanswered can be withdrawn while a candidate assumes it is settled.
Print the admission letter and original JAMB result slip once acceptance is recorded, since both are asked for during university clearance.
Candidates still waiting should confirm that their O-level results are correctly uploaded on CAPS, as incomplete records are a frequent reason a qualified applicant is passed over.
