class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re tired of the idea of writing another exam after JAMB and WAEC\/NECO, you\u2019re not alone. Every year, thousands of candidates actively search for schools that don\u2019t require Post UTME in Nigeria, and not just out of curiosity, but as a strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026, more Nigerian universities are still maintaining the screening-based admission processes rather than adopting the written Post UTME exams method. This means that instead of preparing for another test, your chances of admission will depend largely on your JAMB score and O\u2019Level results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many candidates, this feels like a relief. But honestly, skipping Post UTME doesn\u2019t automatically make admission easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_%E2%80%9CNo_Post_UTME%E2%80%9D_Really_Mean\"><\/span>What Does \u201cNo Post UTME\u201d Really Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a university says it does not conduct Post UTME, it simply means there is no written exam after JAMB. However, admission is still competitive. These schools typically assess candidates using: JAMB score, O\u2019Level results (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB), and online screening submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, they calculate an aggregate score by combining your JAMB performance with your O\u2019Level grades. This score is then used to rank candidates applying for the same course. So while you avoid another exam, your existing results must be strong enough to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/JAMB-WAEC.png\" alt=\"JAMB, WAEC Saga: The Real Test of Nigeria\u2019s Exams\" class=\"wp-image-10062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/JAMB-WAEC.png 700w, https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/JAMB-WAEC-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/JAMB-WAEC-24x14.png 24w, https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/JAMB-WAEC-36x21.png 36w, https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/JAMB-WAEC-48x27.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Screening_Process_Works_in_Nigerian_Universities\"><\/span>How the Screening Process Works in Nigerian Universities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In universities that don\u2019t require Post UTME, admission is based on a screening process rather than a written exam. After JAMB results are released, candidates are expected to register on their chosen school\u2019s portal, fill in their personal and academic details, and upload required documents such as their JAMB result and O\u2019Level results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school then verifies these details and calculates an aggregate score using a combination of JAMB performance and O\u2019Level grades. Based on this evaluation, candidates are ranked and offered admission through the JAMB CAPS system. In some cases, admitted students may still be required to present original documents during a physical verification stage before final clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

The absence of Post UTME does not automatically increase your chances. In fact, there\u2019s no second exam to improve your score and redeem yourself. Cut-off marks may remain high and competitive courses (like Law, Medicine, Engineering) are still highly selective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means your JAMB score and O\u2019Level grades carry even more weight than usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Apply_to_These_Schools\"><\/span>Who Should Apply to These Schools?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screening-only universities may be a good fit if you prefer to avoid additional exams, if you already have a strong JAMB score, and your O\u2019Level results are solid (especially key subjects).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you also get anxious during exams which may affect your performance or if you just want a more straightforward admission process, this is perfect. However, if your JAMB score is below average, relying on screening alone might limit your chances, since there\u2019s no Post UTME to balance it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Things_to_Note_Very_Crucial\"><\/span>Important Things to Note (Very Crucial)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before choosing any school from this list, keep these points in mind that admission policies can change from year to year. Some schools may introduce Post UTME unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Screening still involves registration and fees. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission is competitive and not guaranteed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always confirm the latest updates directly from the school\u2019s official portal before applying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Advice_for_2026_UTME_Candidates\"><\/span>Final Advice for 2026 UTME Candidates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing a school that doesn\u2019t require Post UTME can be a smart move, but only if it aligns with your overall admission strategy.
