Why Can’t I Register for FUTO Post-UTME?

You’re ready. You’ve got your JAMB score. You’ve heard registration has started. But the moment you try to create an account on the FUTO Post-UTME portal, you’re stuck. No OTP is sent to your email. The page won’t load on your phone. Nothing works. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Every year, thousands of FUTO applicants go through this same issue. That’s why we’ve created this clear, step-by-step guide to help you fix the OTP and mobile browser issues without stress, even if you’re not tech-savvy.

Let’s break it down together.

Common Complaints from Students

These are real pain points from actual FUTO applicants like you:

“I didn’t get any OTP. I can’t even move past the first step!”
“The portal won’t open on my phone.”
“I keep refreshing, still nothing happens.”
“I don’t know what else to do. Is this how I’ll miss admission?”

Let’s solve it one step at a time.

Step 1: Why OTP Is Not Coming (And How to Fix It)

Before you think FUTO is ignoring you, here’s what’s really happening:

1. You Used the Wrong Type of Email

The system tends to work better with Gmail addresses. If you used Yahoo Mail or other providers, the OTP might fail to deliver.

Solution:

• Create a new Gmail account if needed.

• Restart your FUTO registration process using the Gmail address.

2. Your OTP Is Hiding in Spam or Promotions

Many students receive the OTP, but it goes to the Spam, Junk, or Promotions tab of their email.

Solution:

• Go to your email. Check Spam, Promotions, and Junk folders.

• Search for emails from “futo.edu.ng”.

3. You’re Requesting OTP Too Many Times

If you click “Resend OTP” too quickly or too often, the system may temporarily block you.

Solution:

• After requesting OTP, wait at least 15 minutes.

• Don’t click “Resend” repeatedly within seconds.

4. The Portal Is Slow or Overloaded

When too many students use the portal at the same time, the server can delay or even fail to send the OTP.

Solution:

• Try registering during off-peak hours (between 11pm and 7am).

• The system works faster when fewer people are online.

Step 2: The Portal Isn’t Working on My Phone. What Now?

You’re trying to register with your smartphone and nothing is responding?

This is a known issue with the FUTO Post-UTME portal.

Don’t Use:

• Opera Mini

• UC Browser

• Safari

• Default Android browser

These browsers don’t support all the features FUTO’s portal needs.

Do This Instead:

Use a Laptop or Desktop

• Open Google Chrome on a computer.

• Visit the official FUTO Post-UTME portal.

• The registration works smoothly on most PCs.

If You Must Use a Phone:

• Download Google Chrome from Play Store or App Store.

• Turn off Data Saver or Lite Mode.

• Rotate your phone to landscape mode for better visibility.

Step 3: Still No OTP After All These? Here’s What to Do

If you’ve tried everything above and still no OTP, it’s time to escalate politely.

Email FUTO ICT Department

Send a detailed email to: ict@futo.edu.ng

In your email, include the following:

• Full Name (as in JAMB)

• JAMB Registration Number

• Phone Number

• Email Address used for registration

• A brief message explaining your problem:
  “I tried registering for FUTO Post-UTME, but I didn’t receive the OTP email. I have checked spam and used Gmail. Please assist.”

Attach a screenshot if you can.

Bonus Tips for a Smooth FUTO Registration

• Don’t use café browsers with pop-up blockers. Ask them to switch to Chrome.

• Keep your JAMB slip beside you. You’ll need accurate details.

• Take screenshots at every step. Useful for support if anything goes wrong.

• Don’t panic. These are technical issues, not admission disqualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. I scored 150 and above in JAMB. Can I apply for FUTO Post-UTME?

FUTO’s general JAMB cut-off mark is usually 150, but some courses may require a higher score like 180 or 200.

Here’s what to do:

• Go to the official FUTO website: www.futo.edu.ng.

• Look for the current Post-UTME notice and check the departmental cut-off marks.

• Compare your JAMB score with the cut-off for your course.

• If you meet it, proceed to register.

If your score is lower than your course cut-off, consider switching to a less competitive course in FUTO or wait for the change of institution window.

2. How do I start the FUTO Post-UTME registration?

Follow these baby steps:

1. Visit portal.futo.edu.ng.

2. Click on “Admissions” and then “2025/2026 Post-UTME Application.”

3. Type in your JAMB Registration Number and click “Submit.”

4. Fill in your personal and academic details carefully.

5. Upload a clear passport photo (preferably on a white background).

6. Generate an invoice and pay the N2,000 screening fee online or at a bank.

7. Return to the portal to complete your registration and print your acknowledgment slip.

Don’t use a phone. A laptop or desktop with Google Chrome browser is better.

3. The portal keeps showing “Invalid JAMB Registration Number.” What should I do?

This usually happens when:

• You didn’t choose FUTO as first choice in JAMB.

• JAMB hasn’t yet uploaded your data to FUTO’s portal.

Steps to solve it:

• Log into your JAMB profile at efacility.jamb.gov.ng and confirm FUTO is your first choice.

• If not, do a Change of Institution to FUTO.

• If it’s already your first choice, wait a few days and try again.

• If the issue continues, send an email to ict@futo.edu.ng with your JAMB number and a screenshot of the error.

4. I made payment but the portal is not updating. What should I do?

This is a common payment issue. Try the following:

1. Log back into the FUTO portal.

2. Click “Continue Application” and enter your JAMB number.

3. If your payment still doesn’t reflect, wait 24–48 hours.

4. If there’s no change, send your Remita Receipt, JAMB number, and registered email to ict@futo.edu.ng.

Always keep a screenshot of your payment confirmation and RRR number.

5. Can I register if I’m using Awaiting WAEC or NECO Result?

Yes, FUTO accepts Awaiting Results during Post-UTME registration.

However:

• Once your WAEC/NECO result is released, go to a JAMB CBT centre immediately and upload it to JAMB CAPS.

• If you don’t upload it before FUTO starts admission processing, your name won’t be on the admission list.

Keep checking the release date of your result and prepare to act fast.

6. How do I know when FUTO will conduct the screening?

FUTO usually uses screening by aggregate score (no exam), but this could change.

What you should do:

• After registration, print your acknowledgment slip.

• Regularly visit futo.edu.ng for updates.

• Join FUTO admission Telegram groups or stay alert on student forums like Nairaland.

• Also check your email and SMS inbox for messages from the school.

7. What documents should I keep after registration?

After you register, make sure to print and keep these documents safe:

• Acknowledgment Slip (proof of application)

• Post-UTME Application Form

• Remita or Payment Receipt

• JAMB Original Result Slip (not just the notification)

• A copy of your O’Level result or exam number

These will be needed for clearance and admission screening.

8. How is FUTO aggregate score calculated?

FUTO uses your JAMB score and O’Level grades to calculate your aggregate.

Here’s how:

• JAMB Score: Divide your JAMB score by 8 (e.g., 240 ÷ 8 = 30).

• O’Level Result: Each grade has a point (A1 = 6 points, B2 = 5, B3 = 4, etc.).

• They calculate your best 5 relevant subjects.

• Your aggregate = JAMB points + O’Level points.

Aim for a total of 50 points and above for competitive courses.

9. My O’Level result is not on my JAMB CAPS. Will it affect my admission?

Yes, it will. Without your O’Level result on JAMB CAPS, FUTO cannot process your admission.

What to do:

• Visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre.

• Request to upload your WAEC or NECO result.

• Confirm the upload by checking efacility.jamb.gov.ng > “Access CAPS” > “My O’Level.”

Always double-check that the subjects and grades are correct.

10. When will FUTO release the admission list?

FUTO releases its admission list in batches:

• First Batch (Merit) is usually released a few weeks after Post-UTME closes.

• Then, Supplementary Lists follow.

To check:

• Visit jamb.gov.ng > eFacility > CAPS > Admission Status.

• Also monitor portal.futo.edu.ng for FUTO’s official list.

• Be patient, and don’t panic if your name doesn’t appear immediately.

Make sure all your details (JAMB choice, O’Level upload, Post-UTME registration) are complete and accurate.
