The management of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti has officially announced the commencement of the 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) admission screening exercise for qualified candidates seeking admission into the University's undergraduate degree programmes.

Prospective applicants are invited to participate in the online screening exercise by completing the registration process through the University's official admission portal. Only candidates who successfully complete the online screening and satisfy all admission requirements will be considered for admission.

Unlike previous admission exercises, EKSU will not conduct a written Post-UTME examination. Admission will be determined solely through an online screening process that evaluates candidates' UTME scores, O'Level results, and other relevant academic credentials.

Eligibility Requirements

The EKSU 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry admission screening is open to:

1. Candidates who selected Ekiti State University (EKSU) as their first-choice institution in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
2. Candidates who scored 150 and above in the 2026 UTME but did not initially choose EKSU as their first-choice institution, provided they complete the JAMB Change of Institution process and make EKSU their preferred institution.
3. Direct Entry (DE) applicants seeking admission into any of the University's approved undergraduate programmes.

Important Notice: Candidates awaiting the release of their O'Level results are not eligible to apply until the results have been officially released and uploaded to the appropriate platforms.
