If Edo State University, Iyamho, also known as Edo State University Uzairue (ESUI), is your target school for the 2026/2027 academic session, this guide covers everything about the Post UTME/Direct Entry screening: eligibility, cut-off marks, the registration timeline, required documents, and the questions candidates ask most.

EDSU, ESUI, and Edo University Iyamho: Same School, Different Names
Before anything else, a quick clarification: Edo State University, Iyamho, Edo State University, Uzairue (ESUI), and the older name Edo University Iyamho (EUI) all refer to the same institution.
The university sits in Iyamho, within Uzairue, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, and these names are used interchangeably across official communication and news coverage.
Don’t let the naming variation confuse you; there’s only one admission process to follow.
Is the EDSU Post UTME/DE Form 2026/2027 Out?
Yes. Edo State University commenced registration for its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) Screening Exercise, with the registration window opening on Friday, 12th June 2026 and closing on Monday, 31st August 2026.
As of today, this window has technically closed.
If you’re reading this shortly after the deadline, check the official EDSU admission portal immediately for any extension or late-registration announcement, since some universities briefly extend deadlines close to their original cutoff date.
Eligibility Requirements for 2026/2027
To qualify for the EDSU Post UTME/DE screening, candidates must satisfy all of the following:
- Sat for the 2026 UTME and obtained a minimum score of 150.
- Met the University-approved cut-off mark for their specific chosen programme; the general 150 is a baseline, not necessarily the requirement for every course.
- Possess the required O’Level credits as specified in the JAMB Brochure for their intended programme.
- Select Edo State University, Iyamho as their first-choice institution on JAMB.
- Are at least 16 years old on or before 30th September 2026.
- For Direct Entry (DE) candidates: registered through JAMB and satisfy the university’s specific DE requirements.
Didn’t choose EDSU as first choice? You can still apply.
Candidates who initially selected a different institution but scored at least 150 and meet the university-approved cut-off for their intended programme can change institutions to EDSU through JAMB CAPS, then proceed with registration.
O’Level Credit and Sitting Requirements
Candidates generally need at least five relevant O’Level credit passes, including subjects specified in the JAMB Brochure for their programme, obtained in no more than two sittings, with one key exception: candidates applying for Medicine and Surgery must obtain their five credits in a single sitting.
Important deadline: All candidates are required to upload their O’Level results to JAMB CAPS on or before 31st August 2026.
Only candidates who complete this upload within the deadline will be considered for admission, regardless of how complete the rest of their application is.
How Screening Is Conducted
For select competitive programmes, specifically Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, and Law, EDSU has announced that the 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Test will be conducted online via WEBTEST, a cloud-based examination platform.
Candidates applying to these programmes must complete a mock screening test before the main test, designed to familiarise them with the WEBTEST platform and the online examination process ahead of the real assessment.
If you’re applying for one of these three programmes, don’t skip the mock test.
Walking into the main screening unfamiliar with the platform is a preventable risk to your performance.
Candidates applying for other undergraduate programmes should confirm on the official portal whether their screening follows the same online WEBTEST format or a different evaluation method specific to their course.
Step-by-Step: How to Register
- Visit the university’s admission portal at edouniversity.edu.ng/admissions/register for UTME/DE admission (or edouniversity.edu.ng/admissions/StartTransferRegistration if applying via Inter-University Transfer instead).
- Select your preferred application category: Undergraduate, Transfer, JUPEB, Postgraduate, etc. or click “Admissions” and choose the appropriate category.
- Click “Admission Requirements/Details” and read the guidelines carefully before proceeding.
- Click “Application Forms” and enter your JAMB Registration Number in the prescribed format.
- Ensure the information on your JAMB CAPS profile matches exactly with what you enter on the Post-UTME Application Portal, including personal details and programme choice.
- Complete payment of the screening fee strictly through the Remita platform on the university’s official website. Do not pay through individuals or private accounts under any circumstances.
- Upload your required documents, including your JAMB result slip, O’Level results, and any programme-specific documentation.
- Review your entire application carefully before final submission.
- If applying for Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, or Law, complete the mock WEBTEST screening ahead of your scheduled main screening date.
A Critical Payment Warning
EDSU has explicitly emphasised that all screening fees are non-refundable and must be paid only through the Remita platform on the official university website, never to an individual’s personal account, agent, or third-party contact claiming to process payments on your behalf.
Because unofficial intermediaries frequently target anxious applicants during admission season, follow this instruction strictly.
