FUNAAB extends Post-UTME Application Deadline for 2026/2027 Academic Session.

The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has extended the deadline for its Post-UTME/Direct Entry application for the 2026/2027 academic session, giving eligible candidates additional time to complete their applications.

According to the university’s official admission portal, applications for the 2026/2027 admission exercise opened on June 2, 2026. The portal currently reflects an extended closing date of Friday, August 14, 2026, following an earlier deadline of July 24, 2026.

The extension provides an opportunity for candidates who had not completed their applications before the initial deadline to do so. Applicants are, however, advised to ensure that their forms are fully completed and submitted before the stated closing date, as only completed applications will be considered.

FUNAAB Post-UTME 2026/2027: Who Can Apply?

The 2026/2027 admission exercise covers candidates seeking admission into 100 Level, 200 Level and 300 Level degree programmes at FUNAAB and its affiliated institutions.

Candidates who selected FUNAAB as their first-choice degree-awarding institution during the 2026 UTME/Direct Entry registration are eligible to apply. The university also lists candidates applying through its affiliated institutions, including the Federal College of Agriculture, Ibadan (FCAIB) and Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology (OYSCATECH).

For UTME candidates, admission consideration is based on factors including the minimum acceptable UTME score for the chosen course, O’Level requirements, relevant UTME subject combinations and the carrying capacity of the programme.

FUNAAB Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027

FUNAAB does not have one single UTME score applicable to every programme. The minimum acceptable score varies by course.

For example, several Agriculture programmes have a minimum score of 160, while programmes such as Computer Science, Cyber Security, Data Science, Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, Accounting and Economics require 200. Other programmes have requirements ranging from 180 to 190.

Candidates are therefore encouraged to check the specific UTME score requirement for their preferred course before applying.

O’Level Requirements

Generally, applicants must possess at least five O’Level credits in the required subjects, obtained in not more than two sittings. The specific subjects depend on the programme being applied for.

For many Agriculture, Engineering, Biosciences, Computing, Physical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine programmes, the required subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology, subject to the specific course requirements.

Candidates should carefully verify the requirements for their chosen programme before submitting their application.

Direct Entry Candidates

FUNAAB also accepts applications from eligible Direct Entry candidates. Depending on the programme, applicants may be required to possess qualifications such as Upper Credit in ND/HND, Credit in NCE, or relevant A-Level/IJMB/JUPEB passes. The university specifically states that it does not accept Lower Credit for Direct Entry admission in the applicable programmes.

Direct Entry candidates are also required to submit their relevant transcripts or properly certified statements of results to the university within the stipulated period. The 2026/2027 admission portal gives July 31, 2026 as the deadline for submission of the required transcript/statement of result.
