What Is the UNIZIK Post UTME Screening?
The Post UTME screening is a mandatory registration and assessment exercise conducted by Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, for candidates seeking undergraduate admission.

UNIZIK Post UTME 2026/2027 Eligibility: Who Can Apply?
Not every JAMB candidate qualifies to apply. Check the requirements below carefully before proceeding.
For UTME (JAMB) Applicants
To be eligible, you must meet all three of the following conditions:
- You chose UNIZIK or any of its affiliated institutions as your first-choice institution during your 2026 JAMB registration.
- You scored a minimum of 160 in the 2026 UTME.
- You have uploaded your O’Level result(s) on your JAMB CAPS profile. Failure to do this will affect your admission processing.

For Direct Entry (DE) Applicants
If you are applying through Direct Entry, you must possess at least one of the following qualifications in relevant subjects: Ordinary National Diploma (OND), Higher National Diploma (HND), First Degree, A’Level Results (IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge A’Level, etc.)
DE applicants must also send their academic transcripts directly to:

JAMB E-slip

UNIZIK Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027
The minimum JAMB score to apply for UNIZIK Post UTME in 2026/2027 is 160. However, note that the general cut-off is not the same as the departmental cut-off mark. Competitive courses like Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Engineering typically have much higher internal cut-off scores.
Scoring exactly 160 may be enough to register, but a higher JAMB score significantly improves your chances of admission, especially for highly competitive programmes.

The UNIZIK Post UTME application fee is ₦2,000 only. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the admission process.

UNIZIK has officially warned candidates to beware of fraudsters and unauthorized payment channels. Admission is NOT for sale.
