ToggleSchools That Conduct Post-UTME Exams in Nigeria (2025 Guide)
If you’re an aspirant planning to gain admission into a Nigerian university, one of the most important questions you’ll face is:
“Does my chosen school conduct Post-UTME exams?”
In this guide, we’ll walk you through a detailed and up-to-date list of Nigerian universities that typically organize Post-UTME exams as part of their admission screening process.
What Is Post-UTME?
Post-UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is a screening exercise conducted by many Nigerian universities to further assess JAMB candidates before granting admission. While some institutions conduct only online screenings or O’level/result-based screenings, others still hold physical or computer-based tests (CBT).
️ Federal Universities That Conduct Post-UTME Exams
These are well-known federal universities that typically organize Post-UTME tests annually:
University of Lagos (UNILAG)
University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)
University of Ibadan (UI)
Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO)

University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)
University of Benin (UNIBEN)
University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT)
Bayero University Kano (BUK)
Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE)
These schools are highly competitive, and their Post-UTME exams are often CBT-based, testing candidates on English, Mathematics, and subject combinations relevant to their course.
State Universities That Conduct Post-UTME Exams
Many state-owned institutions also still conduct Post-UTME exams:
Candidates applying to these schools should prepare for possible CBT or paper-based exams, depending on the institution’s resources and policy for the year.
Private Universities That Conduct Post-UTME Exams
While many private universities focus on interviews or screening, some still conduct Post-UTME tests to assess candidate quality:
Afe Babalola University (ABUAD)
Babcock University
Bowen University
Redeemer’s University
Lead City University
Ajayi Crowther University
These private institutions often combine screening with interviews and may administer aptitude tests depending on the program of study.

This list is based on recent trends and official announcements. However, admission policies may change from year to year. Always confirm directly from your school’s official website or admission portal.
Some institutions may cancel their Post-UTME exams in certain years and adopt an online screening format instead, especially if directed by national policy or due to logistical concerns.
