Are you planning to study at the Federal University of Technology Babura (FUTB) in Jigawa State?
If yes, then you probably want to know everything about the Post-UTME form for the 2024/2025 academic session.
Is the FUTB Post-UTME Form for 2024/2025 Out?
Yes. The Federal University of Technology Babura released its Post-UTME screening form for the 2024/2025 academic year. The school also published admission lists for the session on its official website.
This means if you sat for the 2024 UTME (JAMB exam) and selected FUTB as your first choice, you were eligible to apply.
Why Is the Post-UTME Important?
Passing JAMB alone is not enough to gain admission. Most Nigerian universities, including FUTB, require you to pass through a Post-UTME screening.
This process helps the school:
- Confirm that your JAMB result is genuine
- Verify your O’Level subjects and grades
- Decide whether you meet the standard for your chosen course
Skipping this stage means you won’t be considered for admission, even if your JAMB score was high.
Who Is Eligible to Apply?
Here are the basic requirements for the FUTB Post-UTME 2024/2025 session:
- JAMB Score: You must have scored at least 150 in the UTME. Some competitive courses may require higher scores.
- O’Level Results: You need five credits in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent).
- Choice of Institution: FUTB must be your first choice in JAMB. If you didn’t choose them initially, you must do a change of institution on JAMB CAPS before applying.
- Direct Entry (DE) Candidates: If you applied through Direct Entry, you must meet FUTB’s DE requirements (e.g., ND with at least lower credit, or IJMB points as required).
How Much Is the FUTB Post-UTME Form?
The FUTB Post-UTME form fee is usually ₦2,000 (two thousand naira only).
Note: Payment is done online via Remita or through FUTB’s official portal. Always keep your payment receipt or transaction reference safe, as you will need it during the application process.
