Please note
Belmadeng is an independent study platform and is not JAMB and not any university, polytechnic or college. Post-UTME (screening) rules vary by institution and change every year — cut-offs, whether there is a written test, subjects and dates differ from school to school. Always confirm your specific institution’s current screening requirements on its official website/portal before acting.
1. Check the cut-off
Confirm your UTME score meets your school's and course's cut-off. If it's borderline for a competitive course, consider your options early.
2. Watch the portal
Post-UTME is announced on your school's own portal, weeks after results. Check it (and JAMB) regularly so you don't miss the window.
3. Register & pay
Register within the window: pay the screening fee on the official portal, fill the form with correct details, and print your slip.
4. Prepare
If your school runs a test, prepare with our CBT practice and course library. If it's screening-only, make sure your results and documents are correct.
5. Screen & accept
Attend screening with the right documents, then watch for admission lists and accept your offer on CAPS — and pay acceptance/fees on time.
Tips
- Move fast after your result.
- Register early, prepare if there's a test.
- Accept on CAPS and pay on time.
Your fast-track after results
Got your UTME result? Move fast — the whole Post-UTME-to-admission process rewards early action. In order: (1) check your score against your course cut-off; (2) watch your school portal for the Post-UTME advert; (3) register and pay within the window; (4) prepare if there's a test; (5) screen with the right documents, then accept on CAPS. Each step has its own deadline — don't let one lapse.
If your score is borderline
If your UTME score is right around your course's cut-off, act strategically rather than hoping. A strong Post-UTME test performance can lift your aggregate above the line, so prepare hard for it. At the same time, line up a realistic backup — a less competitive course or school, or change of course — using the subject-combination tool. Having a plan B ready means a borderline score never leaves you stranded.
Keep studying while you wait
The weeks between UTME and admission are easy to waste. If your school runs a test, keep your subjects sharp with free CBT practice and the course library — the same skills that earned your UTME score will earn your Post-UTME marks. And if you're already thinking ahead to university, exploring your course and reading around it is a productive way to use the wait. Momentum now beats a scramble later.
