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. Watch your school's portal

Each institution announces Post-UTME on its own official website/portal, usually weeks after UTME results. There's a registration window — miss it and you may miss admission entirely, so check your school's site regularly.

2. Meet the JAMB cut-off

You can only register if your UTME score meets the school's (and JAMB's) cut-off for your course. Confirm the current cut-off before paying.

3. Pay the screening fee

Most schools charge a screening fee, paid through the portal (card/bank/Remita, etc.). Pay only on the official portal — keep your payment reference.

4. Fill the form

Complete the online form accurately: JAMB registration number, UTME score, O'Level details, course, and personal information. Upload any required documents (photo, O'Level result). Errors here cause problems later — double-check.

5. Print your slip

After submitting, print your acknowledgement/registration slip (and later your exam/screening slip showing date and venue). You'll need these on screening day — see what to bring.

Tips

  • Register within the window — don't miss it.
  • Use your correct JAMB details.
  • Pay only on the official portal.

Step-by-step registration

Post-UTME registration happens on your school's own portal, not JAMB's. The general flow:

Enter everything carefully — mismatched details are a leading cause of rejection at verification.

Fees and paying safely

There is an official screening fee, which varies by school. Pay only through the school's official portal or its approved payment channel — never hand cash to an “agent” or pay anyone who promises to “sort” your admission. Post-UTME is merit-based; no one can buy you a place, and attempting it risks your candidature. Keep your payment receipt and confirmation.

Don't miss the window

Post-UTME windows are short and firm, and each school sets its own. The single most common way candidates lose admission at this stage is simply not knowing the portal opened. Check your school's portal (and JAMB) regularly after results, register early rather than on the last day, and don't wait for a friend's reminder.
