If you chose Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, as your first choice on JAMB and you’re now waiting to find out what happens next, this guide is for you. CUSTECH has opened its Post-UTME screening portal for the 2026/2027 academic session, and getting your registration right the first time matters more than you might think.
In this guide, you’ll learn who is eligible to register, exactly how to complete your registration on the official portal, what to prepare beforehand, and a few things the university itself has warned candidates about.
What CUSTECH’s Post-UTME screening actually is
CUSTECH calls its screening exercise UPASE, short for the University’s Pre-Admission Screening Exercise. It works entirely online. You don’t need to travel to Osara or sit a physical exam. Instead, you log in to the university’s dedicated Post-UTME portal, confirm your details, and submit your documents for the admission office to review alongside your JAMB result.
That said, the portal explicitly warns candidates to keep checking it regularly, since screening schedules and requirements can be updated at any time. Don’t register once and forget about it. Check back.
Who is eligible to register
Based on CUSTECH’s official admission guidance, you should meet the following before attempting to register:
- You selected Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, as your first-choice institution on your 2026 JAMB registration.
- Your O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) are already uploaded to JAMB’s Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). If they aren’t there, CUSTECH cannot process your admission, no matter how well you scored.
- You have the correct UTME subject combination for the course you’re applying for.
- You have at least five O’Level credits, including English Language and Mathematics, relevant to your chosen course.
If CUSTECH wasn’t your first choice, you’re not automatically locked out. You can still apply, but you’ll need to log in to your JAMB profile and carry out a Change of Institution to CUSTECH before the university can consider your registration.
A note on subject combinations: CUSTECH’s official Post-UTME portal lists a full table of UTME subjects and O’Level requirements by department, but as of this writing, most of those fields hadn’t been fully published for every course for the 2026/2027 session. Rather than guess at what your specific course requires, log in to the portal and check the requirements table for your department directly before you register.
Step-by-step: how to register on the CUSTECH Post-UTME portal
Here’s how to complete your registration.
Step 1: Go to the official portal
Visit eportal.custech.edu.ng/utme. This is CUSTECH’s dedicated 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening portal, separate from the general university website.
Step 2: Log in with your JAMB details
On the portal, you’ll be asked for your JAMB Registration Number and one of your registered names exactly as it appears on your JAMB profile. Enter these carefully. A mismatch here is one of the most common reasons candidates get stuck at this stage.
Step 3: Complete your application
Once you’re logged in, you’ll see your candidate dashboard. Fill in the required information and upload the documents requested on the portal.
Step 4: Pay the screening fee
Multiple sources report the CUSTECH Post-UTME application fee as ₦2,000, though this figure isn’t confirmed directly on the official portal pages we could access. Confirm the exact amount and accepted payment channels on the portal itself before paying anything. Pay only through the official payment option displayed on your dashboard.
Step 5: Submit and print your acknowledgement
After your payment reflects successfully, submit your form and print or save your acknowledgement slip. Keep this. You may need it later during physical documentation.
Important fraud warning from CUSTECH itself
This is worth repeating clearly because CUSTECH’s own portal carries an active alert on it: some fraudulent individuals have been impersonating university officials and asking candidates to pay fees into personal bank accounts.
Never pay any CUSTECH-related fee into a personal account. All payments must go through the official university account and the official portal only. If anyone contacts you claiming to be from CUSTECH and asks you to pay into a personal account, that is not the university. Report it and do not send money.
Documents you’ll likely need
While document requirements can vary slightly depending on your course, applicants are generally expected to have the following ready, either during Post-UTME registration or shortly after, if offered admission:
- Your JAMB 2026 UTME result slip (or DE registration slip, if applying through Direct Entry)
- O’Level result certificates or online printouts from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB
- A clear passport photograph
- Your National Identification Number (NIN)
- For Direct Entry candidates, your ND, HND, NCE, or equivalent advanced qualification
Since the exact document checklist for the screening stage itself is set inside the candidate dashboard, always confirm what’s required for your specific course after you log in.
Real talk: don’t wait until the last few days
CUSTECH’s portal displays a live countdown showing how much time remains before applications close. That countdown moves fast, and it’s easy to assume you have “plenty of time” until suddenly you don’t. Servers also tend to slow down in the final days of any registration window, as thousands of candidates rush to beat the deadline. Registering early, even before you’ve gathered every single document, gives you room to fix small errors, like a mismatched name or number, without the added pressure of a closing clock.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Osara for the screening?
No. CUSTECH’s Post-UTME screening (UPASE) is conducted entirely online through document and result verification. You don’t need to be physically present for the initial registration.
What happens if I didn’t choose CUSTECH as my first choice?
You can still apply, but you must first change your institution of choice to CUSTECH on the JAMB portal, then ensure your subject combination and O’Level credits match your intended course, before registering on the CUSTECH portal.
What is the cut-off mark for my course?
CUSTECH’s official portal had only published a confirmed cut-off mark for a small number of programmes at the time of writing. Rather than rely on figures floating around unofficial sites, which currently range anywhere from 140 to 170 depending on the source, check the cut-off mark table on the official portal for your specific department before assuming you qualify.
Can I combine WAEC and NECO results?
Multiple sources indicate CUSTECH accepts a combination of two sittings (for example, WAEC and NECO together) to make up your five credits. Confirm this applies to your specific course when you register, since some competitive courses may have stricter rules.
What if my O’Level results aren’t showing on JAMB CAPS?
Your admission cannot be processed until they are. Contact JAMB or your examination body to resolve this before you spend time on the CUSTECH portal.
Before you go
Getting into CUSTECH starts with getting your Post-UTME registration right, not rushed. Confirm you meet the eligibility conditions, register early on eportal.custech.edu.ng/utme, pay only through the official channel, and keep checking the portal for updates until the exercise closes.
