Are you an aspirant of the Federal University of Technology, Akure? Do you just want to consider the university in UTME or during the change of institution? But before that, you want to be sure if its candidates will be subjected to taking post-UTME before being offered admission or if the university uses the admission screening method instead.

It’s based on this that you will know whether to go ahead and what to prepare for.

Well, this post is here to guide you beyond answering “YES” or “NO”.

In plain language, FUTA conducts post-JAMB tests for her aspirants before admissions are offered.

In other words, prepare to take part in the university's computer-based test that is scheduled to hold days/weeks after you’ve completed the online registration. 

However, for the first time in years, after conducting post-UTME in 2022/2023 admission, it was reported that the computers used malfunctioned massively which led to the cancellation of the test. As a result, the management resolved the screening method - there used candidates' O'level results and UTME scores to grade them for admission.

There is no reference to say that, for years to come, FUTA will continue using the screening method. It's safe to say that the university will return to its post-UTME after this.

Let’s see the full picture of how the FUTA Post-UTME or admission exercise will take.

Conclusion

FUTA is very transparent with its admission process. Candidates must just have it in their minds that they will write exams and meet the cut-off marks before any hope.

The decision whether or not to conduct Post-UTME or screening exercises by the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) ultimately rests with the institution's management.
