OAU Post UTME Form 2026/2027 — Is It Out? Dates, Fee, Requirements and How to Apply

If you have been asking when the OAU Post UTME form is coming out, here is the answer you have been waiting for: the OAU Post UTME form for 2026/2027 is already out. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, officially released the Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening form on Monday, 16th June 2026, and registration is currently open.

This means there is no time to waste. If you made OAU your first choice in the 2026 JAMB and scored 200 or above, you need to register on the admissions portal right now. Many candidates miss their chance every year simply because they waited too long assuming the form was not out yet. Do not make that mistake.

This guide will tell you everything — the exact dates, the fee, who is eligible, what documents you need, how to register step by step, what the screening will look like, and the mistakes you must avoid. Read every section carefully before you go to the portal.

The Most Important Dates You Must Know

Before anything else, put these dates somewhere you will not forget. OAU uses automatic server deadlines — when the portal closes, it closes. Nobody comes to extend it for you.

Form Released: Monday, 16th June 2026
Registration Opens: Monday, 16th June 2026
Registration Closes: Friday, 14th August 2026
Screening Slip Printing Begins: Monday, 24th August 2026
Physical Screening Exercise: Tuesday, 1st September to Saturday, 5th September 2026
Portal: https://eportal2.oauife.edu.ng/ug/admissions

The window from now until the 14th of August looks wide, but it will close faster than you think — especially as the deadline approaches and thousands of candidates flood the portal. Register early.

Who Is Eligible to Register for OAU Post UTME 2026/2027?

Not everyone who sat for JAMB can apply for OAU Post UTME. Read these conditions carefully before you pay any fee.

Condition 1 — OAU Must Be Your First Choice

This is the most important eligibility requirement. The Obafemi Awolowo University only considers candidates who selected OAU as their first-choice institution in the 2026 JAMB registration. If you picked another school as first choice and OAU as second, your JAMB number will not be recognized on the OAU admissions portal. The system will simply not find you.

If you are in this situation, you need to first do a change of institution at a JAMB-accredited CBT centre to make OAU your first choice — and you need to do it quickly before the OAU registration deadline of 14th August closes.

Condition 2 — You Must Have Scored 200 or Above in JAMB

The minimum JAMB cut-off mark for OAU Post UTME 2026/2027 is 200. If you scored below 200, you are not eligible for this exercise. The portal automatically blocks JAMB numbers with scores below 200 when you try to verify your details.

If you scored exactly 200, you are technically eligible to register. But understand that 200 is the minimum to get through the door — the actual competition at departmental level is much higher. OAU’s popular courses like Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Engineering, and Architecture all have departmental cut-off scores that are significantly higher than 200.

Condition 3 — Direct Entry (DE) Applicants Are Also Eligible

If you are applying through the Direct Entry route — using NCE, OND, HND, IJMB, JUPEB, or A-Level results — you are also eligible to register for the OAU 2026/2027 screening. DE candidates must also register during this same window using the same portal.

O’Level Requirements for OAU Post UTME 2026/2027

While registering, you will upload your O’Level results on the portal. Here is what OAU requires:

You must have a minimum of five credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects from WAEC, NECO, or GCE, obtained in not more than two sittings.

English Language — credit pass is compulsory for all faculties
Mathematics — credit pass is required for all faculties except Arts, Law, and Bachelor of Arts in Education
Three other relevant subjects — depending on your course

The O’Level subjects you upload must match the subjects you registered in JAMB. If there is a mismatch between your JAMB subjects and your O’Level results, your screening will be flagged.

If you are awaiting your O’Level results: OAU allows candidates who are still awaiting WAEC or NECO results to register. However, you must upload the final results immediately once they are released. Do not wait for a reminder from the university — upload as soon as your results are out.

How Much Is the OAU Post UTME Form 2026/2027?

The OAU Post UTME screening fee for the 2026/2027 academic session is ₦2,000 (Two Thousand Naira only).

This is the official university fee. Additional bank charges or payment gateway charges may apply depending on the payment method you use. Budget around ₦2,500 to cover everything comfortably.

Payment can be made online using your debit card, bank transfer, or USSD. You can also generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) from the portal and pay physically at any commercial bank branch.

Do not pay anyone claiming to sell the OAU Post UTME form or register on your behalf. OAU does not use agents. The university has stated clearly that it does not endorse any independent admission agents. If someone asks you to pay them to register you or promises to “process” your form, it is a scam. Register yourself through the official portal or go directly to the OAU admissions office if you have challenges.

How to Register for OAU Post UTME 2026/2027 — Step by Step

Follow these steps carefully. Do not skip any step.

Step 1: Go to the Official Portal

Open your browser — Chrome or Firefox works best — and go to:

https://eportal2.oauife.edu.ng/ug/admissions

This is the only official OAU admissions portal. Do not use any other website. If you are not sure, go directly to the OAU main website at www.oauife.edu.ng and follow the admissions link from there.

Step 2: Verify Your Details

On the portal homepage, click on “Verify Your Details.” Enter your JAMB Registration Number, your personal email address, and your phone number. The portal will pull your name from the JAMB database automatically. Check that your surname and first name appear correctly.

If the portal cannot find your details, it means either you did not make OAU your first choice, your JAMB score is below 200, or there is a data mismatch in the JAMB system. Contact JAMB or visit an accredited CBT centre to resolve any such issues before trying again.

Step 3: Make Your Payment

After verification, the portal will generate a payment invoice. Pay the screening fee of ₦2,000 using any of the available methods — online card payment, bank transfer, USSD, or by printing the Remita invoice and paying at a bank. After payment, you will receive a confirmation and your login credentials will be sent to the email address you provided.

Step 4: Log In and Complete Your Form

Return to the portal and click “Login.” Use your JAMB Registration Number as your username and the password sent to your email. Once you are in, go to “My Application” and complete the form. You will fill in your personal details, O’Level results (WAEC/NECO grades for all subjects), course choice, and upload a passport photograph.

Take your time on this section. Check every entry twice before submitting. If you enter a wrong O’Level grade or select the wrong course, it can affect your screening and your chances of admission.

Step 5: Submit and Print Your Confirmation

After completing the form, review everything one more time and click “Submit.” Print or save your confirmation slip. This is your proof that you successfully registered.

Step 6: Print Your Screening Slip

Starting Monday, 24th August 2026, log back into your portal account and print your screening schedule slip. This slip will show you the exact date, time, and venue of your screening within the September 1st to 5th window. You must bring this slip to the screening venue.

What to Expect at the OAU Post UTME Screening

This is one of the most important things to understand about the 2026/2027 OAU Post UTME: the screening is physical and on-campus. You must travel to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, to write the test. There will be no virtual or at-home option this session.

The screening exercise is a computer-based aptitude test. Based on OAU’s pattern from previous years, here is what to expect:

Your JAMB Subjects: The Post UTME questions are drawn primarily from the subjects you registered in JAMB. If your JAMB subjects are English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, expect questions from those four subjects.

English Language: There is always an English component — comprehension passages, vocabulary, and grammar. This applies to all candidates regardless of course.

Current Affairs and General Knowledge: OAU typically includes some general knowledge and current affairs questions. Stay updated on Nigerian and global news.

Quantitative Reasoning: Some candidates report seeing reasoning-type questions beyond their core subjects. Do not limit your preparation to only the four JAMB subjects.

Your date within the September 1–5 window will be assigned to you on your screening slip. You cannot choose your date. Missing your assigned date means you lose your screening opportunity for this session — OAU does not organize make-up tests.

Practical advice: Plan to arrive in Ile-Ife at least one day before your assigned screening date. Do not travel on the same day as your test. Traffic, transport delays, and unfamiliarity with the campus can cost you your spot.

What Happens If You Have Technical Problems on the Portal

If you pay but do not receive your login credentials, or you cannot access your account after payment, here is what to do:

Go back to the portal at https://eportal2.oauife.edu.ng/ug/admissions and click “Confirm Your Payment.” Enter your JAMB registration number or email address. The system will verify your payment and resend your credentials.

If the problem persists, contact OAU directly through the official support email provided by the Registrar’s office. Do not contact random phone numbers or social media accounts claiming to be OAU support. Always use only the contact information published on the official OAU website at www.oauife.edu.ng.

Mistakes to Avoid When Registering for OAU Post UTME 2026/2027

These are the errors that have cost candidates their admission opportunity in previous years.

1. Waiting Until the Deadline Before Registering

The Problem: Some candidates assume they have all the time in the world and keep postponing registration. As the August 14th deadline approaches, the portal experiences heavy traffic — payment gateways slow down, the portal times out, and some candidates end up unable to complete registration before the server closes.

How to Avoid It: Register as early as possible. The portal is open right now. Do not wait for a reminder or for your friends to start registering first. Go to the portal today.

2. Using the Wrong Email Address During Verification

The Problem: Some candidates enter an email address they do not actively use or one they share with someone else. Their login credentials are sent to that email and they cannot access them.

How to Avoid It: Use a personal email address that you check regularly and that only you have access to. If you do not have one, create a new Gmail account specifically for your university applications before you go to the portal.

3. Uploading Wrong or Incomplete O’Level Grades

The Problem: Some candidates enter incorrect O’Level grades on the portal — either through carelessness or because they misread their result slip. Wrong grades at the upload stage can cause problems during clearance, even after admission is offered.

How to Avoid It: Have your WAEC or NECO result slip physically in front of you when filling the O’Level section of the form. Enter each subject and grade exactly as it appears on the result slip. Do not guess or go from memory.

4. Not Printing the Screening Slip on Time

The Problem: Screening slip printing opens on Monday, 24th August 2026. Some candidates do not bother to print until a day or two before the screening — only to find they cannot access the portal due to technical issues or they do not know their assigned date.

How to Avoid It: Log back into your portal on the 24th of August as soon as the printing window opens. Download and print your slip immediately. Do not assume you can do it the night before your screening.

5. Traveling Without Knowing Your Exact Venue and Time

The Problem: Some candidates travel to Ile-Ife on their screening date without confirming the specific hall or laboratory assigned to them. They arrive on campus and spend time asking around — which can lead to them missing their start time.

How to Avoid It: Study your screening slip carefully before you travel. Know your venue, your reporting time, and the documents you need to bring. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time.

6. Paying an Agent Instead of Registering Directly

The Problem: Every admission cycle, people posing as OAU agents collect money from candidates claiming they can register them or secure admission. These are scammers. OAU does not use agents.

How to Avoid It: Register yourself through the official portal. If you face difficulties, go to the OAU admissions office in person or use the official contact email. Never give money to anyone who is not the bank or the official payment gateway.
