IAUE Post UTME Screening Guidelines 2026/2027

Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) has announced new guidelines for the 2026/2027 Post UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise. The university has also rescheduled the screening date to allow candidates enough time to obtain the required documents before the exercise.

If you applied for admission into IAUE through UTME or Direct Entry, you will find information on the new screening date, venue, required documents and everything you need to know before attending the exercise.

Why Was the IAUE Screening Rescheduled?

The university has moved the screening exercise from Monday, 22 June 2026, to Monday, 29 June 2026.

According to the management, the new date gives UTME candidates enough time to print their JAMB result slip showing their candidate ranking, which is one of the documents required for screening.

All UTME candidates should print their JAMB result slip before the screening date.
