Is the UAES Post UTME Form Out for 2026/2027?

Yes. UAES is now accepting applications from qualified candidates for its NUC-approved undergraduate programs for the 2026/2027 session.

Both UTME and Direct Entry (DE) applicants can apply through the university’s official website.

UAES is a young and growing university.

It offers a mix of agriculture-focused courses and programs in science, engineering, and social sciences.

This means you have many options, even if you are not interested in agriculture alone.

Minimum Cut Off Mark for 2026/2027

You need at least a score of 150 in the 2026/2027 UTME to qualify for Post-UTME or Direct Entry screening at UAES.

This cut-off is similar to what many federal and state universities require, and higher than what most polytechnics or colleges of education ask for.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?

UTME candidates who scored 150 or above in the 2026 UTME.
Candidates who did not originally choose UAES as their first choice institution can still apply, provided they meet the minimum cut-off mark and complete a Change of Institution on the JAMB portal.
Direct Entry (DE) applicants who meet the university’s DE eligibility criteria and, similarly, complete a change of institution if UAES wasn’t their original first choice.

A score of at least 150 makes you eligible to apply, but it does not guarantee admission to every department.

Some faculties have more applicants than available spaces.

Full List of Available Courses by Faculty

UAES organizes its courses into five main faculties and also has a continuing education center:

Faculty of Agriculture: Animal Science, Agricultural Extension, Crop Science, Agricultural Economics, Soil Science, Fisheries & Aquaculture, Wildlife & Forestry.

Faculty of Science & Computing: Food Science & Technology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Information Technology, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Biotechnology, Biology.

Faculty of Environmental Science: Estate Management & Valuation, Environmental Management & Toxicology, Horticulture & Landscape Architecture.

Faculty of Engineering: Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering.

Faculty of Art, Management & Social Sciences: Peace Studies & Conflict Resolution, Criminology & Security Studies, Psychology, Taxation, Business Administration, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Accounting, Cooperative & Rural Development.

Center of Continuing Education: Part-time, Sandwich, and Distance Learning programs, alongside an Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) Program for candidates seeking an alternative university entry pathway.

This breadth means a candidate interested in, say, Computer Science or Business Administration has just as legitimate a path into UAES as one interested in Crop Science or Fisheries.

How to Apply: Step-by-Step

First, make sure you are eligible: Check that your UTME score is at least 150 before you begin.

Unlike many universities that use only online portals, UAES requires you to contact them via WhatsApp after changing institutions.

Do not skip this step, as it helps the university confirm your change before they process your application.

Contact Details for Admission Inquiries

For assistance or further information, candidates can reach the University Admission Office through:

Call / Text / WhatsApp: 07067340518, 08033864024, 08037730442

Always use these official contacts.

Do not use any unofficial agents or third parties who claim they can process UAES admissions for you.

Tips for a Smooth Application

Check your JAMB details carefully before you contact the Admission Office.

Mistakes in your JAMB number, score, or subjects can cause delays or problems later.

Pick a course that matches your UTME subjects.

Engineering and science courses usually require certain subjects, so check the course list before you decide.

Don’t wait until close to any stated deadline to complete your JAMB change of institution.

CBT centers can experience delays as change-of-institution windows near their close.

Save a copy of your WhatsApp message to the Admission Office.

Take a screenshot or save the message, as it can help if you have questions about your change of institution later.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is 150 the cut-off mark for every course at UAES, or does it vary by department?

The 150 score is the general minimum UTME score for UAES in 2026/2027.

Some departments may still select students with higher scores, but 150 is the starting point to qualify for screening.

2. Do I need to contact the Admission Office by WhatsApp even if UAES was already my first choice?

According to the university, you only need to contact them by WhatsApp if you changed your institution to UAES.

If UAES was already your first choice, you can likely apply directly through the online portal.

If you are not sure, ask the Admission Office to confirm.

If UAES was not your first choice, change your institution first, then apply on the university’s official portal.
