University of Benin (UNIBEN) Post-UTME/Direct Entry Form for 2025/2026 Undergraduate Admission

Let’s be honest, admission season can scatter your head if you’re not careful. One minute you’re checking JAMB scores, the next you’re Googling “how to pass UNIBEN Post-UTME in one week.” If that’s you, relax small. Breathe. You’re in the right place.

What’s Going On?

UNIBEN’s admission screening is happening from Monday, 1st September to Saturday, 6th September 2025. It’s not virtual. You’ll write it physically at the Ugbowo campus, so better start making plans.

Before you rush to register, here’s what makes you eligible:

  • You must have picked UNIBEN as your first choice when you registered for JAMB.
  • You need a UTME score of 200 or more (for UTME applicants).
  • You should have at least five credits in your O’Level, including English and (for most courses) Maths, plus three or four other relevant subjects. You can combine results from two sittings.
  • And yes, have a valid email address. You’ll need it.

How to Apply (Without Getting Stuck)

The application portal opens by 8 am on Monday, 4th August 2025, and closes by midnight, Friday, 22nd August 2025. No extension, no grace period, so don’t delay.

Be seated at least one hour before your screening time. That’s not a suggestion. UNIBEN no dey smile on exam day.

Also, leave your phones and calculators at home or you’ll be turned back. Yes, even that small scientific one you’ve been using since SS1.

What to Bring on Exam Day

  • Your acknowledgment slip

Forget any of these, and you might be watching others write from the corridor.

UNIBEN won’t collect any payment after Friday, 22nd August 2025. So if you miss it, you’ve missed it. No appeal. No story.

Bottom line? If UNIBEN is your dream school, start your application early. Double-check your info. Don’t use someone else’s email or random cafe details.

This one na your shot. Aim well.
