UNIJOS Direct Entry Screening Exercise
Direct Entry (DE) candidates who applied through JAMB and chose the University of Jos as their first choice are also eligible for the online screening exercise.
DE applicants should follow steps 1 to 10 as above and include their A-level subjects/qualifications in step 9.
Important Note on JAMB ‘O’ Level Requirement
JAMB has stated that it will not clear any shortlisted candidate who does not have ‘O’ level results.
All candidates are strongly advised to visit any JAMB Office or accredited CBT centre nearest to them to upload their ‘O’ Level results (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, and NBAIS) into the JAMB portal.
Candidates who do not meet the University’s screening conditions are advised to change their course of choice or transfer to other institutions.
Please note that supplying false information will result in disqualification. Candidates are allowed to use a maximum of two different ‘O’ level examination results.
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.
The Final Insight
Now that you understand how the University of Jos (UNIJOS) 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.
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.
Above all, rely only on official sources for updates about University of Jos (UNIJOS), since rumours and unofficial pages tend to spread inaccurate information during busy admission periods.
