If you want to study a technology-focused course at Adeyemi College of Technology (ACT), Ondo, this guide will help you understand the 2026/2027 Post UTME admission screening.
It explains what ACT is, who can apply, the entry requirements, and how the application process usually works.

What ACT Ondo Actually Is
Adeyemi College of Technology (ACT), Ondo, is a technology-focused school that shares a campus with Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) in Ondo State.
AFUED is known for teacher training, while ACT was created to offer technical and engineering courses like Software Engineering Technology and Hardware Engineering Technology.
This gives students a clear path to study technology-focused programmes within the same institution.
ACT has its own Rector and runs separately from AFUED’s regular degree programmes.
Dr. Adenegan Kehinde Emmanuel is the Acting Rector and manages ACT’s staff and students independently, even though both schools share the same campus in Ondo City.
Since ACT is a newer part of the Adeyemi institutions, you should double-check which school your programme belongs to when you apply.
Some records and JAMB listings might still mention AFUED or ACE Ondo, depending on how NUC or JAMB classifies things for your application year.
Programmes Offered
In the most recent admission cycle, ACT focused its Post UTME intake on the following programmes:
- Software Engineering Technology
- Hardware Engineering Technology
These courses are for students who are truly interested in computing, systems, and engineering technology.
This focus sets ACT apart from AFUED, which mainly offers education-related degrees like B.A.Ed. and B.Sc.Ed.
Entry Requirements for the Post UTME Screening
According to the latest admission guidelines from ACT, candidates need to meet these requirements:
- UTME score: You need at least 100, which is lower than many other universities. However, ACT may change this cut-off each year, so use this as a guide, not a guarantee, for 2026/2027.
- O’Level credits: You need at least 5 credits in WAEC or NECO, earned in no more than two sittings. These must include Mathematics and English Language, plus two science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Agricultural Science.
- First-choice institution: If you did not pick ACT, Ondo, as your first choice in JAMB, change it to ACT on the JAMB portal before you apply for the Post UTME screening.
How to Apply: Step-by-Step
- Confirm or change your JAMB first-choice institution to Adeyemi College of Technology, Ondo, if you didn’t select it during your original UTME registration.
- Go to ACT’s dedicated application portal. ACT uses its own online portal for applications, not AFUED’s main undergraduate site. Make sure you find the correct ACT application link for the current session instead of using the general AFUED portal.
- Register with your JAMB registration number and personal details to create your applicant profile.
- Upload your required documents, such as a clear passport photo (no glasses or head coverings, and within the required file size) and your O’Level result in the correct format and size.
- Pay the non-refundable screening fee. The last confirmed fee was ₦2,000, which matches AFUED’s fee, but always check the current amount before you pay.
- Fill out and submit the form carefully. ACT warns that you cannot edit the online form after submitting it, so check all your details, especially your course choice, O’Level results, and passport photo, before you submit.
- Print your confirmation slip after your submission and payment go through, and keep it safe for future verification or registration.
Why the “No Editing After Submission” Rule Matters
Many applicants make mistakes because of ACT’s strict no-edit policy after submitting the form.
Since you can’t easily fix errors later, take a few extra minutes to check everything before you submit.
- Your name is spelled exactly as it appears on your JAMB registration and O’Level certificates.
- Your O’Level subject grades and exam numbers are entered correctly.
- Your passport photo meets the required format and size: it should be clear, without glasses or veils, and usually under 50kb in JPEG format.
- Make sure you have chosen the programme you really want Software Engineering Technology or Hardware Engineering Technology because changing it later may not be easy.
What’s Confirmed (and What Isn’t) for 2026/2027
At the time of writing, the most detailed information about ACT’s Post UTME admission is from a previous session.
Then, the college accepted applications for Software and Hardware Engineering with a minimum UTME score of 100, a ₦2,000 fee, and a deadline near the end of September.
Since the exact 2026/2027 dates were not confirmed yet, use this guide as a reference, but always check the latest admission announcement for current dates and fees before you apply.
Since ACT and AFUED share the same campus, and AFUED’s 2026/2027 Post UTME/DE screening runs from mid-June to September 30, 2026, ACT’s admission cycle will likely follow a similar schedule.
However, you should confirm ACT’s exact dates instead of assuming they are the same.
What to Do After Applying
After you submit your Post UTME application, the school will review your UTME score, O’Level results, and screening data together.
If you are successful, look out for the following:
- An admission list published through the college’s application portal.
- A corresponding update on your JAMB CAPS profile, since final admission confirmation for any Nigerian tertiary institution ultimately routes through JAMB’s centralized system.
- You will also get instructions about physical registration, document checks, and paying your acceptance fee. These usually come soon after the admission list is published.
