Abia State University has announced its Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening for the 2025/2026 academic session. If you’re considering admission, these are the facts you need to know — from minimum scores and eligibility to how to register successfully.
Cut-Off Marks & Programmes
- The general UTME cut-off mark required is 150 for many programmes.
- Programmes with more intense competition (such as Law, Medicine & Allied Health Sciences, Computer Science, and Engineering-related courses) may have higher departmental cut-offs.
- Non-professional and less competitive programmes tend to follow the baseline cut-off closely.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for ABSU’s screening, candidates must:
- Have selected ABSU as their first choice institution in UTME registration.
- Meet or exceed the required UTME score for their desired programme.
- Possess at least five credit passes in O’Level examinations (WAEC, NECO, etc.), including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings.
- Direct Entry candidates should hold acceptable qualifications (ND, NCE, HND or equivalents) with appropriate grades.
How to Register
Follow these steps for registration:
- Access the ABSU screening portal when the Post-UTME/DE registration opens.
- Complete the online form with accurate personal and academic information.
- Upload required documents (passport photo, O’Level results, UTME slip, and for DE candidates, the DE credentials).
- Make the required screening/application fee payment.
- Submit your application and print the acknowledgment or confirmation slip to keep for your records.
Important Tips for Applicants
- Ensure your O’Level results are uploaded into JAMB CAPS before registration to avoid delays or disqualification.
- Double-check all your details before submission — UTME registration number, names, course of choice, etc., because errors can lead to rejection.
- For competitive courses, try to score well above the cut-off margin—this often helps in selecting successful candidates.
- Don’t wait until the deadline to apply; earlier submissions reduce risk of technical issues.
