Who Can Register for KIU Post-UTME?
UTME candidates who selected Kashim Ibrahim University during the 2026 UTME exercise and scored at least 150 can apply for the screening.
However, the 150 score is only the general minimum stated for the screening exercise. Some programmes have higher score requirements.
Candidates should therefore confirm the requirement for their intended programme before completing registration.
Applicants who do not meet the score requirement for their chosen programme may change to a programme for which they qualify through the JAMB portal.
KIU O’Level Requirements
UTME applicants must have at least five relevant O’Level credit passes.
The required credits must include:
- English Language
- Mathematics
The remaining subjects depend on the requirements of the chosen programme.
KIU accepts O’Level results obtained in not more than two sittings.
Candidates should make sure that their subjects and grades meet the requirements for their selected course.
KIU Direct Entry Requirements
Direct Entry applicants must also have the required five relevant O’Level credits, including English Language and Mathematics.
In addition, applicants must meet at least one of the stated advanced qualification requirements:
- Minimum of eight points in IJMB or JUPEB

- At least Lower Credit in ND or HND
- Second Class Lower in a degree
The qualification presented must be relevant to the programme for which admission is being sought.
Check Your JAMB Subject Combination
Candidates should confirm their UTME or Direct Entry subject combination against the requirements for their chosen programme.
KIU advises applicants to use the programme information available through the screening portal when checking the required subjects.
If the subject combination does not match the selected programme, candidates may need to change to a suitable programme through JAMB.
O’Level Result Must Be Uploaded to JAMB
Candidates are required to have their O’Level results uploaded to the JAMB portal.
KIU states that candidates whose O’Level results are not available on the JAMB portal will not be considered for admission.
Uploading a result to the KIU screening portal does not replace the JAMB upload requirement.
Applicants should also check that their uploaded JAMB result contains the correct examination details, subjects and grades.

Candidates should prepare clear scanned copies of the documents required during registration.
The listed documents include:
- O’Level certificate or result
