If you sat for the 2026 UTME and chose the Federal University of Agriculture, Mubi (FUAMB) as your institution, you’re probably wondering what happens next. FUAMB has opened its Post-UTME screening for the 2026/2027 academic session, and this guide walks you through exactly who can apply, what you’ll need, and how to complete your screening without mistakes.
In this post, you’ll learn how to check your eligibility, the documents to prepare, the step-by-step application process on FUAMB’s official portal, and what to do after you submit your form.
Quick Overview

A note on the deadline: FUAMB’s official website lists the screening portal as closing on “31th September, 2026.” Since September only has 30 days, this looks like a typing error on the school’s part rather than an actual date. To be safe, treat 30 September 2026 as your working deadline, but don’t wait until the last few days. Confirm the exact closing date directly on the application portal before you finalise your plans.
Who Can Apply for FUAMB Post-UTME 2026/2027?
FUAMB’s official admission requirements page doesn’t publish a fixed numeric cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 session. Instead, the university states that candidates must have sat for the UTME and scored at least the minimum benchmark approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAMB for that year.
That means the score you need depends on the national minimum JAMB sets for the 2026 admission cycle, not a number we can confirm in advance. Before you spend time on your application, check the current JAMB minimum benchmark and confirm on the FUAMB portal that your score clears it.
Beyond your UTME score, FUAMB also requires:
- A minimum of five credit passes in your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result, obtained in not more than two sittings.
- English Language and Mathematics must be among those five credits.
- Your remaining three credits should be relevant to the course you’re applying for.
If you’re unsure whether your subject combination fits your intended course, it’s worth confirming with the relevant department before you submit your form.
Courses You Can Apply For
FUAMB currently runs undergraduate programmes across its Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Science, and Faculty of Food Science and Technology, including:
- B.Sc. Agriculture
- B.Sc. Agricultural Economics and Extension
- B.Sc. Crop Science
- B.Sc. Forestry and Wildlife Management
- B.Sc. Fisheries and Aquaculture
- B.Sc. Nutrition and Dietetics
- B.Sc. Food Science and Technology
- B.Sc. Biology
- B.Sc. Chemistry
- B.Sc. Physics
- B.Sc. Mathematics and Statistics
- B.Sc. Computer Science
- B.Sc. Geography
Meeting the minimum JAMB score doesn’t automatically secure your admission. Screening performance, available slots, and departmental requirements all factor into the final decision.
Documents You’ll Need Before You Start
Gather these before you log in, so you’re not scrambling halfway through the form:
- A recent passport photograph with a white background, under 100KB in file size.
- Your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result (or a combination, provided it’s not more than two sittings).
- Your JAMB result slip.
- Your birth certificate or an age declaration affidavit.
Having these ready as clear, properly sized scans will save you from upload errors on the day you apply.
How to Apply: Step-by-Step
FUAMB runs its screening through the applicant.safapply.com/fuamb portal. Here’s how the process works, according to the university’s official guidance.
Step 1: Visit the portal
Go to applicant.safapply.com/fuamb to begin.
Step 2: Create an account (new applicants)
Click “Register” or “New Application,” then fill in:
- Your full name, exactly as it appears on your O’Level and JAMB documents.
- An active email address.
- Your phone number.
- Your JAMB registration number.
Create a password, confirm it, and submit. Note down your login details somewhere safe, you’ll need them again.
Step 3: Log in
Use your email or application ID, along with your password, to access your dashboard.
Step 4: Fill the application form
Select your intended programme, then enter your personal details and academic history, including your WAEC/NECO results and JAMB score.
Step 5: Upload your documents
Upload your passport photograph, O’Level results, JAMB result slip, and birth certificate or affidavit, in the formats the portal specifies.
Step 6: Pay the application fee
Generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) invoice on the portal. You can pay this at any bank branch by presenting the RRR, or online using a debit card or internet banking through Remita.
FUAMB’s website doesn’t state a fixed fee amount publicly. Check the exact figure on your portal invoice before making payment, and never pay through anyone claiming to process your screening outside the official portal.
Step 7: Submit your application
Review every field carefully. Once you click “Submit,” you can’t go back to edit it, so this is the moment to double-check names, numbers, and course selection.
Step 8: Check your admission status
Log back into the portal periodically to see updates such as “Admitted” or “Pending.” If you’re offered admission, you’ll need to print your acceptance letter, pay the acceptance fee, and proceed for screening or physical verification.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A lot of avoidable admission delays come down to small errors. Watch out for these:
- Submitting your form with a name that doesn’t match your O’Level or JAMB documents exactly.
- Uploading a passport photo that’s too large or has a coloured background.
- Forgetting to change your first-choice institution on the JAMB portal if FUAMB wasn’t your original choice.
- Paying through an agent instead of the official Remita invoice on the FUAMB portal.
- Waiting until the final days to start your application, only to run into portal congestion.
Real Talk
FUAMB is still a relatively young federal university, having begun full academic activities in 2024. That’s not a red flag, it’s simply worth knowing as you plan. The institution is fully recognised by the NUC, but as with any newer school, some processes (like clearly published cut-off marks and fee schedules) may not yet be as detailed online as they are at older, more established universities. Where FUAMB’s website doesn’t spell something out, your safest move is always to confirm directly through the portal or by contacting the registrar’s office, rather than relying on unofficial figures circulating on social media or forums.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FUAMB Post-UTME screening free for all applicants?
No. You’ll generate an RRR invoice on the portal and pay through Remita. The exact amount is shown on your invoice, so check it directly rather than relying on figures from other websites.
Can I still apply if FUAMB wasn’t my first choice?
If FUAMB wasn’t your original first choice, you’ll typically need to change your institution on the JAMB portal first, then complete FUAMB’s own screening application.
What happens if I don’t meet the minimum credit requirement?
FUAMB requires five credits, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings. If your result doesn’t meet this, it’s best to confirm directly with the admissions office whether any exception applies to your situation, rather than assuming.
Is FUAMB a recognised university?
Yes. FUAMB is a federal government-owned institution approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
How do I know if I’ve been admitted?
Log back into your application portal periodically. Your status will update to reflect where your application stands.
Final Thoughts
Getting your Post-UTME screening right comes down to preparation: know your eligibility, gather your documents early, and follow the portal’s steps carefully rather than rushing. FUAMB’s process is straightforward once you have everything ready, so give yourself enough time before the screening window closes.
