Wellspring University, Evbuobanosa, Benin City, Edo State, has officially released its Post UTME and Direct Entry Screening Form for the 2026/2027 academic session.

This is one of the most important steps on your path to securing admission, and understanding the full process could make the difference between gaining admission and missing out entirely.

Here is a thorough breakdown of everything you need to know about the Wellspring University Post UTME Screening Form 2026/2027.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?

Understanding who qualifies for the Wellspring University Post UTME screening is crucial before you begin your application. The eligibility criteria cover both UTME and Direct Entry applicants.

UTME Applicants

Candidates who wrote the 2026 JAMB UTME conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and Direct Entry (DE), and candidates who made Wellspring University their first choice institution, are eligible for the screening.

All other interested candidates who did not choose Wellspring University as their first and second choices are equally eligible to come for the Wellspring University Post UTME screening.

In addition to the above, UTME applicants must meet the following O-level requirements:

  1. Applicants must obtain a minimum of five credit passes at not more than two sittings in WAEC (SSCE), NECO (SSCE), or NABTEB. These should include English language, mathematics, and any three other subjects relevant to the proposed course of study.

  2. Candidates must have scored at or above the approved JAMB cut off mark for their chosen course.

Direct Entry Applicants

Direct entry candidates have a slightly different pathway. They must have:

  1. A minimum of three O-Level credit passes in one sitting in SSCE/GCE/NECO/NABTEB, plus any of the following: JUPEB, IJMB, National Diploma (Upper Credit), NCE (Merit), or relevant professional qualifications at the Professional I or II level.

Foundation Programme Applicants

Wellspring University's A-Level programme prepares students for admission via the Direct Entry path.

The university offers two classes of advanced level programmes: IJMB (Interim Joint Matriculation Admission) and JUPEB.

A student who obtains 2 or 3 passes in any of these programmes is admissible into a Wellspring degree programme. The A-Level qualification obtained from these programmes is also accepted by other universities in Nigeria.

Important Advice to Boost Your Chances of Admission

Getting your application right is only the first step. Here are practical suggestions on how to improve your general admission prospects at Wellspring University:

  1. Start Early: Do not wait until the closing date of the form to apply. Portals can experience downtime, and early applicants tend to have smoother experiences.

  2. Get Your Documents in Order: Arrange your original documents and certified copies well before the screening date. Missing documents can lead to outright disqualification.

  3. Know Your Course Requirements: Confirm that your O-Level subjects and JAMB subject combination match the requirements of your chosen course. Visit the JAMB brochure for official subject combinations.

  4. Prepare for the Screening: Practise aptitude questions in the English language, mathematics, and your specific course subjects. Many private universities test general aptitude and verbal reasoning.

  5. Check the Portal Regularly: Important updates, including the screening date and time, will be posted on the official portal. Visit it frequently and confirm all details in advance.

  6. Avoid External Agents: Apply only through the official Wellspring University portal. Do not pay money to any individual claiming to guarantee admission. Wellspring University does not operate through such channels.
