The Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences, Iyin-Ekiti (FUTES-IYIN), has reopened its admission portal following the approval of three additional academic programmes by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The newly approved programmes are Artificial Intelligence, Telecommunication Science, and Tourism & Hospitality Management.
The approval was conveyed in a letter dated September 11, 2026, following a resource verification exercise conducted by the NUC at the university on August 27. During the exercise, the Commission assessed the facilities, personnel and other resources available to support the programmes.
The development comes as FUTES-IYIN prepares for its second academic session, with the reopened admission portal allowing qualified prospective students to apply for the newly approved programmes.
Speaking on the development, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gbenga Aribisala, said the programmes were introduced in response to emerging national and global needs while complementing the university’s technological and environmental mandate.
He explained that the university was not expanding its academic offerings simply to increase student numbers, but was focused on relevance, quality and alignment with its institutional vision.
The Vice-Chancellor added that the university had deliberately developed the human and physical resources required to support the programmes, stressing that the expansion would not compromise academic standards.
The approval is expected to expand opportunities for prospective students seeking training in rapidly developing fields spanning artificial intelligence, technology, telecommunications, tourism and hospitality.
The admission portal has been reopened for one week, from Tuesday, October 6, to Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
Prospective applicants can access the FUTES-IYIN Admission Portal at:
Applicants are advised to carefully review the registration guidelines and complete their applications within the stipulated period.
Candidates seeking admission through the newly approved programmes are also required to effect a change of institution to FUTES-IYIN and change their programme to any of the three newly approved programmes through the JAMB CAPS as part of the admission process.
The university had earlier commenced its 2026/2027 admission exercise, with screening registration subsequently closing after the initial application period. The latest reopening is specifically intended for candidates interested in the newly approved programmes.
The portal will close at the end of the one-week application window, making it necessary for prospective candidates to complete both the university application and required JAMB changes before the deadline.
FUTES-IYIN has also completed its first academic year, with the university management continuing efforts to strengthen its academic, administrative and infrastructural structures ahead of the new session.
