Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, has commenced its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise for candidates seeking admission into its undergraduate programmes.
Registration begins on Friday, 3 July 2026, and the screening exercise will be conducted online. EKSU will not conduct a written Post-UTME examination, as candidates will be screened based on their credentials and compliance with the university’s admission requirements.
Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria are advised to complete their applications early and ensure they provide accurate information to avoid disqualification.
Who Can Apply for EKSU Post-UTME 2026?
The screening exercise is open to the following categories of applicants.
- UTME candidates who selected EKSU as their first-choice institution and scored 150 or above in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
- Candidates who did not initially choose EKSU but scored 150 or above and are willing to change their first-choice institution to EKSU through the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
- Direct Entry (DE) applicants who meet the university’s admission requirements.
- Successful graduates of EKSU’s Pre-Degree and JUPEB programmes, who will enjoy admission concessions in line with Senate-approved guidelines.
Candidates awaiting the release of their Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results can also apply for the screening exercise. However, they must upload their results immediately after they are released for their applications to be considered.
