Direct Entry candidates apply with qualifications such as A’Level (IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge A’Level), NCE, OND or HND, in addition to the O’Level requirements for their course.
BOUESTI Post UTME Screening
Every year, BOUESTI conducts a Post UTME or screening exercise for candidates who chose the university and met the minimum JAMB score. Depending on the session, the screening may be a computer-based test, an online document screening, or an aggregate of UTME and O’Level grades. Registration usually opens after JAMB releases UTME results, and the screening form fee is paid through the university’s admission portal.
When the BOUESTI Post UTME form is released, we publish the eligibility criteria, registration steps, dates and fee on this page and in our Post UTME section.
BOUESTI Cut-off Mark
BOUESTI sets a general cut-off mark each session, and individual faculties and departments set higher marks for competitive courses such as Medicine and Surgery, Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering and Accounting. Your final admission decision usually depends on an aggregate score that combines your UTME score with your Post UTME score and/or O’Level grades.
See our cut-off marks section for the latest BOUESTI general and departmental cut-off marks.
