The management of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) has officially announced the modalities for its 2025/2026 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise.
According to a statement signed by the Registrar, Dr. C.A. Ajie, the institution will adopt a hybrid screening approach that eliminates the need for additional written examinations while emphasizing biometric and document verification.
All candidates who selected IAUE as their first choice in the 2025 UTME or applied through Direct Entry are invited to the University’s Main Campus in Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, for physical verification of credentials, biometric screening, and data validation.
No Post-UTME Test Required
The University confirmed that candidates will not be subjected to any further aptitude test. Instead, UTME candidates will be ranked solely based on their JAMB scores (100%), while Direct Entry candidates will be assessed using their uploaded A’level qualifications. DE applicants must also ensure that their certificates are verified via the Nigerian Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (NIPEDS).
Screening Criteria and Ranking
The University’s Admission Unit will screen each candidate based on data already provided through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) and cross-referenced with records on the IAUE portal. Ranking will strictly adhere to:
- UTME subject combination requirements as outlined in the JAMB Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS)
- O’level subject combinations
- Departmental cut-off marks
Candidates with high UTME scores but low departmental rankings may be recommended for a change of course to improve their chances of admission.
Personalized Screening Invitation
Candidates will receive their screening schedule via email, containing details such as date, venue, and other specific requirements. They are advised to monitor their registered email addresses regularly for this information.
Screening Requirements for All Candidates
All candidates are required to be physically present for compulsory biometric verification and must come with the following documents:
- Original JAMB Result Slip
- O’level Result (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB)
- IAUE Post-UTME Registration Slip
- Printout of the screening invitation email
- For Direct Entry Candidates: Original and verified A’level results (e.g. NCE, ND, JUPEB, IJMB, NABTEB ANBC/ANTC, HND, 1st Degree, Cambridge A’level, International GCE A-Level, etc.)
- Proper dressing and grooming is mandatory. Candidates must appear neat and presentable.
- Rude or disruptive behaviour will lead to automatic disqualification.
After the screening, DE candidates must ensure that their certificates are verified on NIPEDS for final processing.
Special Instructions for All Candidates
Candidates are strongly advised to:
- Regularly check their JAMB portal to monitor their admission status and effect any changes as required.
- Respond promptly to instructions related to course changes or data correction, where necessary.
- Take all email and SMS notifications seriously, but confirm such messages on the University's official channels to avoid scams.
- Avoid using third-party contact information during registration. Only personal phone numbers and active email addresses should be used, as multiple accounts are not allowed on the IAUE portal.
For Candidates with Awaiting Results
Candidates using "Awaiting Result" for either O’level or A’level must:
- Upload their results online immediately they become available.
- Report physically to the Admissions Unit at the Rumuolumeni Campus for document screening.
Such candidates are assured that their admission process will remain valid, provided they follow these steps promptly and accurately.
