Who Is Eligible for FUGA Post UTME Screening
FUGA’s bulletin sets out two eligibility routes for the 2026/2027 screening exercise:
UTME Candidates
Candidates who scored 150 and above in the 2026 UTME are eligible for screening.
Direct Entry Candidates
Direct Entry candidates are eligible if they chose FUGA as their First Choice institution and hold any of the following:
- Lower Credit and above in Higher National Diploma (HND)
- Lower Credit and above in National Diploma (ND)
- Credit or Merit in NCE (Nigeria Certificate in Education)
- IJMB with 6 points and above
For context, JAMB’s national minimum UTME cut-off for 2026 is also 150, so FUGA’s UTME threshold matches the national baseline rather than setting a higher departmental bar. See our JAMB Cut-Off Mark 2026 guide for how this compares across other institutions.
How to Register for FUGA Post UTME Screening 2026/2027

Step 5: Confirm Before the Deadline
The screening portal opens Monday, 7 September 2026 and closes Wednesday, 7 October 2026. Complete your registration well before the closing date to avoid last-minute portal congestion.
