Documents/Papers Admission Seekers Should get Ready for Admission Screening/Post-UTME

It is the time of the year again, when Nigerian students will take leaps to gain admission into hundreds of higher institutions in the country.

Are you an admission seeker? Are you set to partake in the post UTME or admission screening of various institutions across the country?

But question roaming your mind now is,
 What are the likely documents or papers that will be required during the admission screening or post UTME?
Cool, this is a good question. It’s the first step to your preparation for admission screening of you r school

Now that JAMB has discontinued conduction of post UTM exams in schools, most schools have resolved to the term admission screening.
Admission screening maybe in three forms.




1. Filling Online Admission Form only

Candidates may be asked to fill online admission form on the proposed school’s portal. Here he will be asked to fill all his bio-data, O’level results and UTME result. And that’s all.

Based on this, the institution management will give admission if all information filled and submitted suits the admission requirements of the school.
2. Filling of Online Form and Uploading Documents

Here candidates will be required not only to fill the form, but also to scan and upload all supporting documents. These documents may include O’level result, JAMB UTME result, local government identification and/or birth certificate or age declaration certificate.

Based on this, the management will give admission if all information filled and submitted suit the admission requirements of the school.




3. Filling Online Form Plus Physical Inspection of Documents

Here, candidate may be required to fill online form and probably be asked to scan and upload supporting documents. More so, these schools take as a step further by asking candidates to be physically present for screening on-campus or at a centre with all their documents.

The management will then check all the supporting documents themselves to ascertain the authenticity of those documents. Some of such schools may require unused WAEC, NECO and NABTEB result checkers to check their presented results.

In all, it depends on schools.
Schools like KWASU, KWARAPOLY, UI, OAU, UNILAG, LASU, AAUA, EDE etc recently asked candidates to fill their information, scan and upload documents such as O’level results. KWASU and KWARAPOLY require adding of result PIN and serial number to check O’level results without students present on campus.

Schools like FUTA, UNIOSUN require applicants to fill online form and their present on-campus for physical checking of all supporting documents.

Schools like OOU still by-passed federal directive that post UTM exams should be discontinue. They still conducted CBT exams for applicants after requirement them to fill online admission screening form.
