ABU Mop-Up Post UTME Screening Exercise 2025/2026

Ahmadu Bello University has fixed a mop-up Post-UTME screening for 2025/2026 applicants who missed their first test or changed from other schools. The exercise holds on Wednesday, 28th August 2025, at the Iya Abubakar Institute, 8:00 AM. All concerned candidates are advised to attend, as this will be the final chance.

There are second chances, and then there’s this. Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, has set a mop-up Post-UTME screening for those who couldn’t attend their earlier test or who shifted from another university into ABU. For many, it is the last bridge before admission slips start flying.

The date is Wednesday, 28th August 2025. The venue, Iya Abubakar Institute of Information and Communication Technology. Time? Bright and early, 8:00 AM sharp.

Why the Mop-Up Matters

ABU already sent out bulletins in July and August, but not everyone caught the wave. Some missed their slot, others switched schools midway. This mop-up, as the name suggests, sweeps all of them together.

The university has made it clear: this is the final window. No whispers of another round. So if you are on that list, better pack your documents, set your alarm, and show up.

Important Update on ABU Post UTME/DE Application 2025/2026

ABU Zaria has opened its 2025 Post UTME and Direct Entry screening for first-choice candidates. If you scored 180 or above, or hold valid DE credentials, this is your window. Registration runs from 4 to 21 August.

Latest Update:

Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria has acknowledged technical difficulties affecting some candidates in the ongoing Post-UTME/Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise.

According to a Special Bulletin released on Monday, several categories of candidates have reported problems with the University’s registration portal. Those affected include applicants from Abuja/FCT and Nasarawa State, students who recently switched to ABU from other institutions, and candidates applying for programmes such as Sustainable Social Development and Sustainable Environmental Standard.

The University also noted cases where candidates who changed their programmes still find their old choices reflected on the portal. Other sundry technical hitches have also been recorded.

In a statement, ABU advised candidates to continue attempting registration while efforts are being made to fix the issues. However, students who remain unable to complete the process online have been directed to report to the Iya Abubakar Institute of Information and Communication Technology (IAIICT) Centre on the date of their scheduled Post-UTME test, where their challenges will be resolved.

The University further assured that the registration portal will remain open until the final date of the screening exercise, giving all applicants ample opportunity to complete their registration.
