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.
Your printed slips
- Post-UTME screening/exam slip (shows your date, time and venue).
- Registration/acknowledgement slip and payment receipt.
JAMB & O'Level results
- JAMB result slip and your JAMB registration number.
- O'Level result(s) (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) — originals + photocopies.
ID & photos
- A valid ID (school ID, NIN slip, etc.).
- Recent passport photographs (bring several).
Originals for verification
Screening usually includes document verification — bring originals plus photocopies of everything (results, birth certificate/age declaration, LGA/state-of-origin identification if requested). Verify the exact list on your school's advert.
What to leave at home
Follow the school's rules — phones and electronic devices are often barred from test halls, and so is any unauthorised material. Don't risk disqualification.
Tips
- Pack everything the night before.
- Bring originals + photocopies.
- Check the school's exact required list.
One master checklist
Pack this the night before so nothing is forgotten in the morning rush:
- ✓ Printed Post-UTME/screening slip (and acknowledgement slip + payment receipt).
- ✓ JAMB result slip and registration number.
- ✓ O'Level result(s) — originals and photocopies (WAEC/NECO).
- ✓ Valid ID (school ID, NIN slip, etc.).
- ✓ Passport photographs (bring several).
- ✓ Birth certificate / age declaration and any LGA/state-of-origin document if requested.
Confirm the exact list on your school's advert — it can differ between institutions.
At verification: what to expect
Screening usually includes document verification, where officials check your originals against the details you entered. Expect to present your originals for sighting and hand over photocopies, and to have your identity confirmed. This is why accuracy at registration matters so much — any mismatch between your entered details and your documents can stall or end your screening. Arrive early, keep your documents organised in a folder, and stay calm through the checks.
Document slip-ups to avoid
The avoidable mistakes that cost candidates on the day: bringing photocopies without originals (or vice versa), a result that doesn't match the grades you entered, too few passport photos, or bringing prohibited items like phones into a test hall. Follow your school's rules exactly — and if anything on your documents differs from your JAMB/registration record, sort it out before screening day rather than hoping it slides.
