As part of its admission procedure, FUTA conducts a Post UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise for aspiring undergraduates. This screening helps the university select applicants who meet the requirements for its academic programmes.

After you have decided on the course you want to study and you’ve met the FUTA JAMB cut off mark, the next step is to register for the Post UTME or DE screening.

Below are the key details you need to know, including who is eligible, when registration opens, how to apply, the documents to prepare, and important rules to follow during the process.
