PLASU Post-UTME/DE 2026/2027: 20 September Deadline and Cut-Off Marks

Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, is accepting applications for its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise. The university’s current admission notice says registration closes on Sunday, 20 September 2026, and that late applications will not be accepted.

The application is for undergraduate admission in the 2026/2027 academic session. PLASU’s official notice confirms the application portal, eligibility rules, programme cut-offs, document requirements and the steps candidates must complete online. Candidates should apply early because the deadline is close and the university has not promised a late-registration window.

PLASU Post-UTME 2026/2027 at a glance

Who is eligible for PLASU Post-UTME?

UTME candidates

UTME applicants must have selected Plateau State University, Bokkos, as their first-choice institution in the 2026 JAMB UTME and must have scored at least 160. The general 160 mark is not enough for every course: Law, Medicine and Surgery, and Nursing Science require 200, while Pharmacy and Medical Laboratory Science require 190.

If you selected another institution or need to change your course, PLASU says you should complete the change through JAMB before starting the university’s screening application. Candidates should also upload their O’Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal. An application on the PLASU portal does not replace the JAMB admission process.

Direct Entry candidates

DE applicants must have selected PLASU as their first choice in the 2026 JAMB Direct Entry application. The official notice lists the following acceptable qualifications:

• First degree
• Higher National Diploma (HND)
• National Diploma (ND) with at least Lower Credit
• Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE) with at least a Merit grade
• IJMB or JUPEB with at least 6 points

DE candidates must still meet the O’Level and programme-specific requirements for the course they choose. Meeting one of the listed qualifications does not automatically guarantee admission.

PLASU cut-off marks for 2026/2027

PLASU’s notice gives a general UTME cut-off of 160. Candidates should check the course-specific mark before paying the screening fee or submitting the form.

The cut-off is only an eligibility threshold. It is not an admission offer and does not mean that every candidate who reaches the mark will be admitted. Admission remains subject to the screening, available spaces, programme requirements and JAMB processing.

New programmes listed in the 2026 notice

The official notice identifies several programmes as newly available for the 2026 admission cycle. Applicants interested in these options should first confirm the programme on the live PLASU portal and process a JAMB change of course where necessary.

• Faculty of Computing: B.Sc. Cyber Security and B.Sc. Data Science.
• Faculty of Education: Economics Education, Education Management, Guidance and Counselling, Early Child Education, and Social Studies and Civic Education.
• Faculty of Environmental Sciences: B.Sc. Quantity Survey.
• Faculty of Mass Communication: Broadcasting, Development and Communication Studies, Journalism and Media Studies, and Strategic Communication.
• Faculty of Medical Sciences: D.PT. Physiotherapy, B.Sc. Nutrition and Dietetics, O.D. Optometry and B.Rad. Radiography.

Do not select a new programme based only on a social-media post. Confirm the available choice in the PLASU form and make sure your JAMB subject combination and O’Level subjects match it.

How to apply for PLASU Post-UTME/DE screening

1. Open the official PLASU application portal.
2. Click the option for a new applicant.
3. Enter your JAMB registration number, name, active phone number and email address.
4. Create a password and select the correct entry mode: UTME or Direct Entry.
5. Choose your programme and verify that it matches your intended course.
6. Open the verification link sent to your email, then log in to continue.
7. Generate the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) and pay the prescribed screening fee through the available payment channel.
8. Upload your passport photograph, signature and supporting documents in the format requested by the portal.
9. Enter your O’Level results, including the relevant subjects for your programme, and provide valid scratch-card details for online verification where requested.
10. Review your personal details, next-of-kin information, course and results before submitting.
11. Submit the application and print or save the Application Slip, University Receipt, Remita Receipt and Screening Summary.

The official notice does not state the fee amount in the visible text. Candidates should rely on the amount shown inside the official portal at the payment stage and keep the Remita evidence. Do not pay an agent or transfer money to a personal account.

Documents and information to prepare

• 2026 JAMB registration number and result details.
• Active email address and phone number.
• O’Level result from an accepted examination body, with no more than two sittings where applicable.
• Certificate or letter of indigene.
• Birth certificate or declaration of age.
• Recent passport photograph and signature in the portal’s required format.
• Direct Entry certificate, transcript or qualification details, if applying through DE.
• JAMB CAPS confirmation that your O’Level result has been uploaded.

Use the same spelling and date-of-birth information across your JAMB and PLASU records. Before submission, check the JAMB registration number digit by digit. A wrong number, wrong entry mode or wrong programme can delay screening and admission processing.

PLASU application deadline: 20 September 2026

PLASU’s official admission page says registration opened on 14 July 2026 and closes on Sunday, 20 September 2026. It also states that late applications will not be accepted. At the time of this report’s verification on 11 September 2026, nine calendar days remained.

Do not wait until the last day. Payment failures, email-verification delays, incorrect uploads or portal traffic can prevent a candidate from completing the process. Submit early and save all receipts and screening documents. If the portal displays a different status or deadline later, the live PLASU portal and a new official university notice should take priority.

What to do after submitting the form

After submission, keep printed and electronic copies of the Application Slip, University Receipt, Remita Receipt and Screening Summary. Monitor the email address and phone number used for the application for any further instruction.

Also monitor JAMB CAPS. PLASU says candidates who receive an admission offer must accept it on CAPS within two weeks. A screening application is not the same as an admission offer. Candidates should not pay anyone who promises to place an admission offer on CAPS or change a screening result.

For a change of institution, change of course, O’Level upload or CAPS problem, use JAMB’s official e-Facility and support channels. Keep your JAMB profile details private and avoid sending passwords or one-time codes to third parties.
