If you have been searching for a state university that combines agriculture, science, engineering and technology with practical learning, the University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (UAES), Umuagwo, may already be on your list. The school has now opened its Post UTME and Direct Entry admission process for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Whether you wrote the 2026 UTME or you plan to apply through Direct Entry, you can now begin your admission process through the university portal. Even if UAES was not your first choice during JAMB registration, you still have a chance to apply after completing a change of institution through JAMB.

Before you submit your form, it is important to check the available courses, confirm the cut off mark, understand the JAMB change process and prepare the correct documents. Taking your time with these steps can save you stress later.
