If you picked Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, as your first choice on your JAMB UTME form and want to know how to complete your Post-UTME screening for the 2026/2027 session, this guide has all the details you need.
The information here comes directly from the university, not from online forums.
Al-Hikmah University is recognised as Nigeria’s leading Islamic faith-based university, with campuses in Ilorin and Igbaja, Kwara State.
For the 2026/2027 academic session, the university has started its Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening, and has released the approved JAMB cut-off marks for each faculty and department.
What Is the Al-Hikmah University Post UTME Screening?
Contents
Post-UTME screening is the next step in university admission in Nigeria after the main JAMB UTME.
Al-Hikmah University uses this process to check that candidates meet its own requirements, not just the JAMB score, before offering admission.
Direct Entry (DE) is for those with A-Level results (JUPEB, IJMB, NABTEB), ND, HND, or NCE, and usually lets them start at 200 level.
Where to Apply: The Official Portal Only
All Post-UTME/DE applications for the 2026/2027 session should be completed through the university’s own admissions portal:
- Admission Portal: ecampus.alhikmahuniversity.edu.ng/admissions
- Official Website: alhikmahuniversity.edu.ng
A quick but important warning: while looking into this topic, we found many online ads and forum posts with personal phone numbers offering to “process” Al-Hikmah University admission for a fee.
Sometimes, the same number appears for many different universities.
This is a common scam targeting Nigerian applicants.
Al-Hikmah University does not ask you to call an agent to buy or process your form; you can do everything yourself on the official portal.
If you are unsure, check any contact through the university’s official website or registrar’s office before sending money.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Al-Hikmah University Post UTME form the same as the admission form?
No. The Post-UTME/DE form is a screening step that determines whether you’re eligible to be considered; a separate admission list is released afterwards for candidates who scale the screening.
2. Can I apply if Al-Hikmah wasn’t my first choice on JAMB?
Most universities prioritise first-choice candidates for Post-UTME screening.
Some may later allow change-of-institution or change-of-course candidates.
Check the portal directly, as this can change each session.
3. Is there a difference in cut-off marks between Ilorin and Igbaja campuses?
Cut-off marks are set by faculty and programme, not by campus, so the mark required depends on the course you’re applying for rather than which campus hosts it.
4. What happens if my JAMB score is below my course’s cut-off mark?
You usually won’t be eligible for screening into that specific course.
However, you might be able to apply for a related programme with a lower cut-off mark, depending on the university’s advice.
5. How long does it take to know if I’ve been screened successfully?
Timelines can change each session, but candidates usually get updates on their applicant dashboard and by email once screening results are ready and the admission list is out.
6. Do Direct Entry candidates take a separate screening test from UTME candidates?
DE candidates are usually assessed based on their academic credentials (A-Level, ND, HND, or NCE results) instead of taking the same screening test as new UTME candidates.
However, this can differ by department.
7. Can I change my course after submitting the Post UTME form?
Course changes are usually done through a formal request after you have an active applicant profile.
It’s best to contact the admissions office directly instead of assuming it will happen automatically.
8. Is the Post UTME screening fee refundable if I’m not offered admission?
Like most Nigerian universities, screening fees are usually non-refundable, regardless of the outcome.
Make sure you are eligible before you pay.
9. Are international or non-Nigerian applicants eligible to apply?
Al-Hikmah University accepts international students, but the application process, required documents, and qualification checks may be different from the usual JAMB process.
International applicants should contact the admissions office directly.
10. How do I know a contact number is genuinely from Al-Hikmah University and not a scammer?
Check any phone number or email against those listed on the university’s official website before making any payment.
Be extra careful with ads that show the same agent handling admissions for many different universities, as this is a common scam.
Final Thoughts
The Al-Hikmah University Post-UTME/DE process for 2026/2027 is straightforward: check your eligibility and cut-off mark, gather your documents, apply only through the official portal, and pay only through the portal’s approved payment channel.
Because many scam listings online use the university’s name, it’s safest to bookmark the official website and portal and be very careful with any unexpected “agent” contact.
Also, watch your applicant dashboard and registered email for updates, as screening dates and admission lists are usually shared there, not by phone calls from strangers.
