Kashim Ibrahim University (KIU) has opened its online Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening portal for the 2026/2027 academic session. If you chose KIU as your preferred institution and scored at least 150 in the 2026 UTME, or applied via Direct Entry, you can register between Monday, 27th July, 2026 and Monday, 31st August, 2026.
Eligibility and Cut-Off Mark
Before you start your registration on the portal, make sure you meet the following requirements set by the university:
- Minimum UTME Score: UTME candidates must have a minimum score of 150. If your score does not meet the specific cut-off mark for your chosen course, you should log on to the JAMB portal and change to another KIU programme you qualify for before registering.
- O'Level Requirements: You must have at least five (5) relevant O'Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings.
- Direct Entry (DE) Requirements: In addition to the five O'Level credits (including English and Mathematics), DE applicants need a minimum of 8 points in IJMB or JUPEB, a Merit grade in NCE, at least a Lower Credit in ND or HND, or a Second Class Lower degree.
- Correct Subject Combination: Check the KIU Brochure available on the screening portal to confirm that your UTME subject combination matches your course. If there is a mismatch, process a change of course on the JAMB portal first.
Required Screening Documents
Every candidate must upload their O'Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal, as anyone who fails to do so will not be considered for admission. For the KIU online screening itself, you will need to upload scanned copies of the following documents:
- O'Level certificate(s) (maximum of two sittings) and/or A'Level certificate(s) for DE candidates
- Indigene Certificate
- National Identification Number (NIN) slip
