About Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE)
Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) is a Rivers State-owned university located in Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt. It was established in 2009 under the University of Education Law No. 8, and grew out of the former Rivers State College of Education. IAUE runs undergraduate, postgraduate, and part-time programmes across faculties including Education, Humanities, Management Sciences, Social Sciences, Natural and Applied Sciences, Vocational and Technical Education, and Agriculture.
Admission into IAUE follows the standard national process: JAMB UTME registration, a Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening exercise conducted by the university, and a final merit-based admission list approved by university management and published through JAMB CAPS.
IAUE 2026/2027 Admission Process So Far
Before the Batch 1 list, IAUE ran its 2026/2027 admission cycle through these confirmed stages:
- Post-UTME/DE registration: Opened Monday, May 18, 2026, and was scheduled to close Sunday, June 14, 2026, for candidates who scored 150 and above in UTME. IAUE later announced an extension to this registration window — candidates should confirm the final closing date on the official portal if they registered close to the deadline.
- Screening exercise: IAUE published rescheduled dates and approved modalities for the 2026/2027 screening exercise on June 18, 2026.
- Cut-off mark: IAUE confirmed a minimum UTME score of 150 for the 2026/2027 admission exercise, in line with JAMB’s national cut-off for universities. Departmental (course-specific) cut-off marks for this session have not been independently verified from an official IAUE source at the time of writing — candidates should check their specific department’s requirement on the official portal rather than rely on third-party figures.
- Batch 1 Merit Admission List: Approved and published August 15, 2026.
How to Check Your IAUE Admission Status
Step 1: Check on JAMB CAPS
Log in to the JAMB e-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng using your JAMB registration number and password. Go to the Check Admission Status section. If IAUE has offered you admission, it will reflect here, showing your admitted course.
Step 2: Cross-Check the Official IAUE List
IAUE also publishes its approved admission list as a downloadable PDF on the official university website (available here). Search the document for your JAMB registration number or full name to confirm your inclusion in Batch 1.
Step 3: Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS
If you see your name, log back in to JAMB CAPS and formally accept the admission offer. This step is required before you can proceed to IAUE’s own portal for clearance.
Step 4: Log In to the IAUE Student Portal
Visit the official IAUE Enterprise Schools Portal (ESP) to begin acceptance fee payment and start your clearance process. New students will need their JAMB registration number to create or access their portal profile.
Step 5: Complete Acceptance Fee Payment and Clearance
Follow the instructions on the portal to pay the acceptance fee and complete departmental/faculty clearance. IAUE has not published a confirmed 2026/2027 acceptance fee amount as of this writing — pay only the exact figure shown on your portal invoice, and do not rely on figures circulating on social media or unofficial sites.
⚠️ Only use the official portals — efacility.jamb.gov.ng and IAUE’s own enterpriseschoolsportal.iaue.edu.ng — to check your status or make payments. Avoid third-party sites and agents claiming to “confirm” or “upgrade” admissions for a fee.
What If You Don’t See Your Name Yet?
Admission lists are released in batches, not all at once. If you do not see your name in Batch 1:
- Confirm that you completed the Post-UTME/DE screening exercise for IAUE.
- Keep checking JAMB CAPS — IAUE typically releases supplementary batches in the weeks following the first list, based on the pattern from previous admission cycles.
- If your JAMB score meets the 150 cut-off mark and you chose IAUE as your first choice but still don’t see your name after later batches are released, you may consider using JAMB’s Change of Institution option once JAMB opens the window, or contact IAUE’s admissions office directly.
