The Post-UTME Form Is Officially Out
Federal Polytechnic, Nasarawa has started Post-UTME registration for the 2026/2027 academic session for those seeking admission into National Diploma full-time programmes.
If you chose FEDPONAS in the 2026 UTME and met the cut-off mark, you can apply for any course that matches your UTME subjects.
The polytechnic also accepts candidates from its own or approved preliminary programmes, as long as they have valid results. This helps those who did not use the standard UTME route.
Cost and Closing Date
The Post-UTME screening form costs ₦2,000.
The closing date for the 2026/2027 cycle is Friday, 24 July 2026, so complete your registration before then.
Eligibility Requirements
- First-choice institution: You must have chosen Federal Polytechnic, Nasarawa as your first choice in the 2026 UTME. If you picked FEDPONAS as your second or third choice, you need to change it to your first choice through JAMB. Otherwise, you will not be considered for admission.
- JAMB cut-off mark: The general cut-off mark is usually around 120 for most courses. However, the school sets the final cut-off after JAMB’s policy meeting, and some competitive departments may require a higher score.
- O’Level requirements: You need five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, from WAEC, NECO, GCE, or any other result type the school accepts. You can use results from up to two sittings.
- Preliminary programme candidates: If you completed FEDPONAS’s preliminary programme or another approved preliminary route and have valid results, you can also apply.
Why Your Subject Combination and Course Choice Matter

A Note for Candidates Who Recently Changed Institution
If you recently changed your institution to FEDPONAS through JAMB, your information may not show up on the admission portal right away.
This is a common and temporary delay.
Check again after some time.
If the problem continues, contact FEDPONAS through the portal or visit the school’s ICT centre if you are nearby.
Avoid Using Agents
FEDPONAS has warned applicants to complete the application process themselves and use their own accurate personal details.
Do not rely on unofficial agents to handle your application.
Because admission scams are common, it is safest to apply directly through the official portal.
FEDPONAS Is Also Running an HND Admission Cycle

- Entry requirement: A relevant National Diploma (ND) with at least a Lower Credit
- Additional requirement: One year of industrial attachment
- Closing date: Friday, 24 July 2026, the same date as the ND Post-UTME form
If you already have an ND and want to apply for HND at FEDPONAS, remember that this is a separate application from the ND Post-UTME form.
Make sure you choose the right form for your situation.
Part-Time Admission Is Also Available
FEDPONAS has also opened Part-Time ND and HND admission forms for the 2026/2027 academic session.
